Since Cape May is known for its abundance of bed and breakfast spots, we opted to go that route instead of a standard hotel when choosing accommodations . It was our first time visiting a B&B (and Cape May for that matter!) and we had no idea what to expect. We initially booked a Queen deluxe suite at The Southern Mansion that was nicely discounted due to a wedding being held on the ground floor. But by a lucky (or creepy!) twist of fate, when our concierge showed us to our intended room, the light could be seen through the bottom crack of the door and she claims to have also heard voices coming from within. Assumming that our room was mistakenly given to another guest, we were upgraded to a two-floor King Premier suite at no extra charge. The next day we learned that there was in-fact no one in our room…spooky!
But you will hear no complaints from me! Our stay at the Southern Mansion was fabulous and everything I envisioned a bed and breakfast experience to be. The entire property was beautifully decorated with vintage touches throughout. Everything from the common area to the ground and rooms exuded character and charm. And breakfast….oh my! With an array of fresh fruits and pastries, as well as a delicious made-to-order breakfast menu, there’ was definitely something for everyone. So for anyone that thinks that B&B are for the old and stuffy, trust me, if you pick the right one like we did, you’re in for a special treat!

The breakfast options look so yummy!! Woo hoo on the upgrade! I love it when things turn out this way. :)
I love B*B’s and if there is a choice between that or a hotel stay, I’d choose the B&B any day. We stayed at mostly B&B’s when we traveled in Germany/Austria and loved it.

the suite looks lovely! Although, whenever we stay at B&B’s, I always feel like I have to be really quiet and behave….we cant be our rowdy selves like we can in a hotel! Loooove the photo fo the bathtub faucet, and the food shots? Kudos!
Yummy! Those Southern people know their hospitality. ;)
Looks like a gorgeous B&B. I’m drooling over the blue claw foot tub. If I’m ever in Cape May I’ll have to check this place out!

Oh gee, BIG thank you to the spook, I’d say – your suite looks amazing. I think I would never have wanted to leave again. So glad you had a wonderful time, Maddy. Cape May is now on my ‘to visit – to enjoy’ list!

Oh, I believe in old buildings being haunted. Something similar happened to me at a B&B outside of Chicago. But never mind that, these photos are gorgeous. The second one is my favorite and then the food..the food looks incredible. I’m glad you enjoyed Cape May! Maybe we will check it out this Summer. xo
i told my husband i’m already packing the bags! love love love…

Wow, this place looks fantastic! It immediately makes me think of Gilmore Girls and the Firefly in (yes, I loved that show). And you know I’m a breakfast monster, so I’m kinda drooling over the food. You’ve got me thinking of going to a B&B now…color me shocked!

That place looks so charming, but what a spooky story! And that food looks delish, or maybe your photography makes everything look great :P

This is like the coolest story ever! I don’t know how I missed it. SO excited that happened to you. I could go for an omlette like that
AWESOME shots, Mad………..I need to know where this was and how to get those voices to creep under the door so I can get the upgrade too!
Love all the colors in these photos!
