  • Welcome to the Causey Mansion Bed and Breakfast where your stay will take you back to antebellum Delaware and its plantation lifestyle. It is on the national Register of Historic Places and has been the home of 2 Governors... Daniel Rogers (1797 - 99) and Peter F. Causey (1855 - 59). Causey Mansion began as a grand Georgian home build by Levin Crapper in 1763 on over 1,000 acres. The land was farmed by Crapper (2 of the original out buildings remain on the property). After Peter Causey purchased the home in 1849, he enlarged the house by adding a 3rd floor, and changed the style from Georgina to Greek Revival. Early in the 20th century, it was the home of the Joseph Holland family. In the 1930's, Captain Wilson M. Vineyard, a well-know ship builder, purchased the home. Causey Mansion is now proudly owned and operated by The Connolley Family. Come step back in time and relax in the luxury and comfort provided with attention paid to every detail.

    The rooms were tastefully decorated and very clean. The owner asked us what we wanted for breakfast and what time. All three breakfasts were homemade and delicious.

    Causey Mansion - Fantastic in every way

    This place exceeded my expectations in every way. The service, the food, the comfort, cleanliness and the warmth and intelligence of the owners. It is close to the ferry and the beaches and well worth the price. We didn't want to leave.

    Awesome couples/friends get-away!!!

    My husband and I just recently spent a wonderful weekend relaxing with friends at the Causey Mansion. It is a beautiful place and so comfortable and cozy. The mansion is immaculate and has everything you need. We had some delicious dinners within walking distance of the mansion. The Causey Mansion is decorated with so many lovely and interesting antiques, but also offers the modern conveniences of spacious bathrooms and t.v.'s in each bedroom. We would definitely love to return to the Causey in spring or fall to enjoy the grounds in full bloom!

    The Governors' would be proud.

    From Belfast, Maine (The White House Inn) to San Diego, CA (The Elsbree House), Bed & Breakfast Inns have been our home for the past month. Some hide the afternoon baked goods (The Candlelight Inn, N. Wildwood, NJ) whereas others will leave the cookies out all night for midnight snacking (The Carisbrooke Inn, Ventnor, NJ). Some are in quaint, conveniently located sections of a city (La Reserve, Phila., PA) while others are in peaceful mountain retreats (The Coshise Stronghold B&B, Pearce, AZ) One of the very best across this land is The CAUSEY MANSION in Milford, Delaware. This beauty still holds the grandeur of 1763; a former home of Governors' Rogers (1797-1799) & Causey (1785-1789). With fireplaces in every room, this elegant & stately Greek-revival & Georgian-style home features marble fireplaces, intricate moldings and spacious bedrooms. We were welcomed like family & given a tour of the mansion & grounds by the hostess, Jeanne Connolley, who was cheerful, chatty, gracious, and down-to-earth. Our bedroom was large, clean, comfortable, and airy with tall ceilings which dissipated the humidity of the Delaware lowlands quite nicely. (We chose not to use the air-conditioner) The bathroom was gorgeously spacious with plenty of soft towels and any toiletry item you might require. Breakfast was outstanding, plentiful, and delicious~you won't leave hungry. If you recognize good value and want gracious & personalized service, the Causey Mansion will be a home you will want to stay in for awhile. ~~Drs. A. Wathey & W.C. Verica
