Gingerbread House Bed and Breakfast

 The Gingerbread House Bed and Breakfast is located in the heart of Victorian Cape May's historic district, the Gingerbread House is less than a block from the beach and promenade and merely two blocks from the Cape May Victorian Mall. Cape May's attractions and finest restaurants are also within walking distance.   As you enter the long foyer of the Gingerbread House, you'll notice the chestnut and walnut staircase. You'll love the light and airy feeling that surrounds you. The peaceful sounds of the classical music playing in the background will warm your soul. Authentic Victorian antiques adorn all of the rooms. The large stain glass window in the dining room is a real eye-catcher. The delightful breezes and the sounds of the sea create a romantic setting at the Gingerbread House.

Built in 1869, The Gingerbread House is one of the original Stockton Row Cottages. This carpenter gothic style house was designed by the famous architect, Stephen Decatur Button. Originally, The Gingerbread House was a summer retreat for wealthy families who, together with their servants and nannies, would travel from Philadelphia and Virginia to summer in Cape May. Since 1979, The Gingerbread House has been among the finest bed and breakfast inns.
