We had a really pleasant time at the Ginger Bread House. You couldn't ask for a better location. The breakfasts were yummy and the conversations around the table so interesting. The room was clean and cozy. Fred, Joan, and their helper (I've forgotten her name -she was very sweet) worked hard to make us very comfortable. We will return!

While the weather failed to cooperate, Joan and Fred made our short visit memorable. This very well located B&B gives off a warm welcoming feeling. We have... More

Historic Cape May is a wonderful place to visit and staying in the heart of the down town area - we selected the Gingerbread House. Fred and Joan have created a haven for travelers. Lovely home, delicous breakfasts and friendly inn keepers - you can't ask for more than that! You won't want to go home!

We found the Gingerbread House on the internet, and boy, did we make the right decision. The accomodations were clean and lovely, the breakfast was delicious and Joan and Fred were wonderful hosts. Joan spent time with us and gave us great ideas on things to do during our 2-night stay. We definitely would return to this bed and breakfast... More
