John Wesley Inn

My fiance and I stayed at this lovely B&B after browsing through Trip Advisor. John Wesley was ranked and deservedly so. Bonnie, the owner, was gracious, sweet and very accomodating. Instead of the standard 2 night min stay, she let us stay for 1 night only. The house itself felt like a museum with historic accents everywhere. And the room... what can I say. The bed was like a cloud; the furniture was tastfully historic; and the fireplace highlighted the romantic nature of the room as well as the reason we went to Cape May in the first place (for Valentine's celebration). I would highly recommend this place to any couple looking to get away from the city and indulge in Victorian romanticism.

I don't think the innkeeper would mind, so the best way to express how good a place this is to stay, would be to share my thank you email to Bonnie the innkeeper. If you are going to Cape May for any reason, there is no need to look any farther than the John Wesley Inn for someplace incredible to stay. To Bonnie: Thank you for a wonderful stay. It is really hard to say in words, what a good job you do. You have a lovely home, beautiful and comfortable rooms and your breakfasts are incredible. We may only see you once a year during Valentine’s Day weekend, but when we stay we feel like we are staying with family. It is always good to see you. Thank you for a beautiful weekend and we look forward to our next visit. Alicia and I were reflecting on our visits to Cape May the other day and about how we were so lucky to have found the “best” place to stay on our first visit many years ago. We both agreed there was no need to even consider any other options. Why mess with something that is guaranteed to be great. As long as you keep receiving guests, you can count on all of our future business.

We enjoy staying at this beautifully restored and maintained victorian inn. It is in a great location and has wonderful amenities. Bonnie, Lance, and the staff are thoughtful to anticipate our needs and to offer suggestions for excursions. We enjoy the Mt. Vernon room in the winter with its cozy sitting room and two fireplaces. The Stockton room is perfect in the summer. We enjoy the private 2nd story porch that accompanies it. There is so much to do and see in Cape May that you will want to come back every year and stay here. This past weekend was our 4th trip since discovering the Inn 3 years ago. We can't wait to visit again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our one night stay and wish we could have stayed longer. We have visited many B&B's in Cape May (our favorite resort town) and this by far, exceeded our expectations! The hospitality was more than we ever could have expected, the room was more luxurious than the website led on and the Inn Keeper, Bonnie was fantastic. Our breakfast just really made the weekend! We can not wait to return. Thank you for making a night away, one to remember!! The Shaw's

Bonnie is an excellent host and wonderful cook. I am absolutely planning a trip back to Cape May but most importantly a trip back to the John Wesley. Each room had a fireplace, the queen sized bed was very comfortable, the private bathroom was a great touch and everything was clean and fresh. But most of all, we felt like part of the family and cannot wait to get back. Jim Karney

This B&B makes you want to rent permanently at the John Wesley Inn. A wonderful retreat. The innkeepers' personal touch and the dining... all confectionary delight! It just keeps calling you back! ~Amaris and Anthony, Bx, NYC

It was our first time staying at a B&B. So glad we picked the John Wesley Inn. It is a beautiful house, fully decorated. Walking distance to everything. We parked our truck and it didn't move till we checked out. We walked to the beach, we walked to the town. The owner Bonnie is so nice. She makes you feel right at home. Breakfast was fantastic. I think we are going to make it our New Years Eve tradition to stay at the John Wesley Inn each year.

My wife and I came to Cape May for the Christmas House Tour. Yhis was our 1st stay at the John Wesley Inn. It definately won't be our last. Bonnie was a delightful person and we felt as though we were among family. I highly recommend to all.

My husband and I had th emost wonderful stay at the John Wesley! Th eroom was amazing! The food was awesome! The hospitality was beyond wonderful! Location of the B&B was perfect! We will definitely be staying again!

My husband and I stayed one night at the John Wesley Inn in Cape May. I wish we would have stayed more--the Inn was immaculate--loved all the antiques and pictures. The rooms were very clean, Bonnie and Lance were very warm and welcoming people. The Inn was steps away from the beach, 2 minute walk to the Washington Mall and close to restaurants--we parked our car (they have parking available on their property) and walked everywhere. Breakfast was delish!!! We would definitely go back as one night was not long enough!!!

I gave this trip as a gift to some family members and they can't stop talking about it. The service, personal attention and accommodations were EXCELLENT. I highly recommend this B&B to anyone looking for a special destination !

The John Wesley Inn was simply fantastic! From the beautifully appointed rooms to the wonderfully kind innkeepers, my expectations were exceeded across the board! Bonnie and Lance were wonderful. Breakfast was delicious, and the location couldn't be better. We were 1/2 block from the beach, and 2 blocks from the shopping at Washington Mall. Simply the best. We will be back!! Shane & Becca, West Reading, PA

This was our 6th yr in a row staying at the John Wesley Inn for our Wedding Anniversary. Bonnie and her staff are always gracious and eager to please. They treat their guests like family. The rroms are beautiful and emaculate. The breakfasts are delicious and very filling. Bonnie and her staff try to always accommodate and specila dietary needs of each quest. We have no reservation recommending this beautiful B&B. - Cheryl & Dan McNeill

Bonnie was very accomodating and helped us redschedule our recent stay after it was interrupted by Hurricane Irene. The accomodations were great, the food was terrific, and we overall enjoyed our stay very much! Will return!

This was our 4th year staying at the John Wesley inn. All experiences have been fantastic! Bonnie and Lance run a beautiful Bed and Breakfast and they are great people too. Looking forward to next year already.

I cant remember the inn keepers name, but omg! she was super nice and extremely accomodating. Breakfast was delicious and the location was perfect. definately recomend it!

My boyfriend and I stayed at the John Wesley Inn and loved it! We are in our mid-to-late twenties and we both really enjoyed the experience. Bonnie was very attentive but not overbearing. She offered us tips on what to do and see locally when we arrived and acquainted us with the home. The grounds were clean and well kept. Our room was beautiful- we stayed in the Mt. Vernon. It was a relaxing stay filled with wonderful conversation, delicious homemade breakfasts, and a superb environment! We are already planning to go back in the fall or winter!

Great stay. Highly recommended. Stay in the stockton room. A++

My husband and I recently visited... immaculate, close to the beach, short walk to nearby restaurants & shopping, onsite parking, ac, private bathroom, hot breakfast, beach chairs & towels - Bonnie was so accommodating... When we come back to Cape May, we will definitely stay here again!

Our midweek stay with Bonnie and Lance was absolutely wonderful.. We felt right at home as soon as we walked in. Our room was spacious and comfortable and the morning breakfast was excellent... we certainly intend on coming back.

Bonnie and Lance could not have made our weekend more amazing. The Inn has EVERYTHING you could ask for and so much more. The breakfast was amazing. I got home an hour ago and am looking at the calendar to see when we can return. :-) Lisa Long

Cape May certainly has it's share of very nice B&B's but the John Wesley Inn is one of the best. Location is 1/2 block from the beach and shopping, and has one of the most down to earth Inn keepers in the town. Rooms are well apportioned and furnished, easy off street parking, great breakfasts too!

My husband and I took a quick getaway to this great Cape May B&B and look forward to returning again in the future! Bonnie and Lance were very accommodating and their inn is beautiful decorated. Enjoying a "babymoon" before expecting our second child, Bonnie even surprised us with a beautiful teddy bear. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

Staff was very helpful and accommodating. They treated us like family. The room was very nice and had such a historic feel. the recommendations they gave on flowers and dinner were perfect. would definitely stay again.

Staying at the John Wesley Inn was a perfect way to spend our 25th wedding anniversary. The inn was adorable, so quaint and cozy. The Inn Keepers were very gracious and hospitable. Oh and let us not forget the delicious morning meals! We will definately make a return visit to the Wesley.

We highly recommend The John Wesley Inn. Bonnie was a very special and gracious hostess. The belgium waffel breakfast was delicous and nicely presented. Each room is tastefully decorated and enjoyable. Rich and Bert Hurst Lancaster County, PA

My wife and I celebrated her birthday and her graduation in a mid-week stay in May. Wonderful location, half a block to the beach. Service and room were impeccable--try for the second floor front room which as a private porch. Bonnie, the host, was gracious and very helpful and prepares gourmet breakfasts. Can't go wrong here.

Beautiful three-story house. Very authentic and not too showy. Proprietors were lovely people. Hospitable, but not over-doing it. Breakfast was fantastic. Great location, close to the beach and the best pizza in Cape May is down the block. We only stayed one night, but next time we will book ahead and stay longer.

My husband and I were looking for a bed and breakfast in Cape May to stay the first weekend we were married. We were unable to go up during the week due to job conflicts, and we even had to leave late Friday. Bonnie stayed up for us until we arrived late at night. It was so easy getting to her house and it is meticulously well kept. There were all the modern amenities that we could ask for (cable, iPod docking station, fridge) along with on-site parking, short walks to restaurants, Victorian charm, and it was unbelievably close to the beach! On top of that, Bonnie and Lance were gracious and kind hosts. They got us a card to congratulate us on our marriage and exchanged receipes with us at breakfast. All we wanted to do was relax and eat well and that is exactly what we got...and more. How can you beat perfect room, perfect location, perfect company? I would highly recommend this B&B to everyone and I know that my husband and I will be back (perhaps to celebrate our one year anniversary!)

Lovely inn and the hosts are so helpful and very hospitable!

My wife and I enjoyed two nights at the delightful John Wesley Inn earlier this month. We found everything we wanted for a couple of quiet, restful days, and more! The Inn’s location was great- only a block from the beach and a short walk to restaurants and shopping. Our 3rd floor room was clean and well-appointed, with a comfortable bed. We were next to the sunroom, which was wonderful for reading, relaxing, and meeting other guests. Breakfasts were fantastic. Afternoon teas were a special treat. Bonnie and her staff provided first class service, thoughtful advice, and friendly conversation. The John Wesley Inn has our highest recommendation.

My husband & I decided to celebrate our 7th anniversary in beautiful Cape May. Friends recommended this bed & breakfast and we were beyond pleased! The inn is absolutely lovely & immaculate. The innkeepers, Bonnie & Lance, provided us with the perfect venue for our weekend getaway & we plan to return (hopefully soon)! What else can I say ... great location, beautiful inn, impeccable decor, great service, and sparkling clean throughout (that's especially important to us) ... what's not to love? We've been to a number of bed & breakfasts over the years & the John Wesley has quickly become our favorite.

My wife and I stayed at the John Wesley Inn for 3 nights the first week of May. From the time I booked the reservation last month until the time we departed on Friday morning, we were pampered with outstanding service from the Innkeepers, Bonnie & Lance. The John Wesley Inn was the most responsive of all the properties that we researched online prior to booking our reservation. Bonnie even called us the day we arrived to be sure that she would be onsite to meet us. The room we stayed in was a classic Victorian, and included a private bath, antique dresser and huge closet space. They served up 3 outstanding breakfasts for us during our stay there, and we had an opportunity to meet the other guests staying at the inn. The guests were delightful company, and we found we shared similar interests in history, arts, fine dining, etc. that is associated with Cape May. I would highly recommend the John Wesley Inn to anyone visiting Cape May.

John Wesley Inn was our first experience at a B&B of any kind. Well, if other B&B's are similar to the experience we had at the John Wesley Inn, then we will make them a staple of our vacationing schedule. We stayed in room #2, The Windsor, and it was a beautiful room with an old time feel. The bed was comfortable and the ceiling fan kept us comfortable. While the room had an antique feel, it was definitely not antiquated in it's amenities with a window air conditioner, flat screen tv, iPod docking station and fireplace. The room and bathroom were both exquisitely cleaned and fresh. The innkeeper's were wonderful. Bonnie especially, who spent time during breakfast each morning to talk to each guest and get to know them. The food was wonderful and the other support staff was helpful and friendly. The location is extremely well placed. Walking distance to the beach, restaurants, shopping, and bars. It's only a short 5 minute drive to go to Cape May Point State Park where the historical lighthouse is located. It was at this lighthouse that I proposed to my now fiancée. Bonnie was extremely excited for us and even sent us a congratulations card after we left. The wonderful setting combined with excellent service will keep us coming back to the John Wesley Inn for years. -Jon Smith and Crystal Jones

What a wonderful weekend. Bonnie was the perfect hostess. The rooms were beautiful and the locale was perfectly suited, whether you wanted the beach, shopping or dining experiences. The house was very clean and comfortable.

Great location. One block to the beach and 2 blocks to Washington Mall. The Inn is beautifully furnished and decorated but tends to be dark. Our room needed better lighting, but the sun room on the 3rd floor was very bright & cheery! Breakfast was grand and served with a smile.

My wife and I stayed at the John Wesley Inn over New Years weekend (to be married actually) and it was a wonderful experience. Bonnie and Lance were so welcoming and went above and beyond anythng we expected. The B&B is also their home, and it showed. We were treated like family the entire time. Great food, great atmosphere, great conversation. We plan on going back again this year. Kevin & Shelley

The John Wesley Inn was an amazing place to stay. It had all the amenities possible plus the location was great. You could walk to the beach, shopping and food. The Inn was full of antiques, all rooms had private baths and comfortable beds. The breakfasts were amazing.

This was our first stay at the John Wesley and will also be our last. We stayed in #5 The new Mt. Vernon suite, no microwave or mini refrigerator ...... we had to keep our champagne, strawberries ect in the little fridge at the end of the hallway in the main "lunch room" and that didn't even have a microwave oven, luckily we were the only guests at the time. Not even ice to bring back to our room. The bathroom was described as having "hydrotherapy whirlpool tub that is found in premier hotels and luxury resorts and spas throughout the world" had a tub barely big enough for one. , cheap lino floor and no vanity. There was no photo of the bathroom online, and since we had stayed at other B & B in the area that had beautiful luxurious bathrooms (huge room, 2 person whirpool tub and carrera marble) we assumed that this would be comparable, because of the price charged.... no comparison! The afternoon tea consisted of our choice of a bag of tea and a cookie from Delta airlines (no joke, the name was right on the wrapper!!)

Stayed one night and to sum up the experience everything was perfect.Thank you Bonnie (and staff)

We definitely enjoyed our stay at the John Wesley Inn. The room was fantastic with a balcony, fireplace, and a very large room. The beds were so comfortable, we did not want to leave. The location was very close to the ocean which made for very cute walks on the beach. It was very easy to walk throughout the town. Overall, we had a great time and the John Wesley Inn was a great place to stay.

We vistied over MLK weekend and had a wonderful time at the John Wesley Inn. The rooms, service, and breakfast were all wonnderful! We will definitely go back next time we are in Cape May.

We spent two nights at the John Wesley Inn during the cold winter months in Cape May. The house is absolutely beautiful and the innkeepers are warm and welcoming. I would recommend staying no place else! And breakfast each morning was truly tasty! It was a much needed getaway for my fiance and myself.

I was fortunate enough to come across the John Wesley Inn on your website and booked last-minute reservations for a quick getaway with my children during their winter break. It was fantastic!! The John Wesley Inn has two apartments, which are detached from the mainhouse. The apartment we stayed in was highly functional with a full kitchen, and also very pretty with Victorian decor and 2 fireplaces....one upstairs and one downstairs. The Innkeepers, Bonnie and Lance, were so gracious and friendly...we felt welcomed from the moment we stepped inside until the moment we exchanged goodbyes! This is one family who will definitely be back!! This Bed and Breakfast is, in one word, WONDERFUL!!

This home is so very well detailed, furnished and maintained that it's easy to imagine that one has gone back in time 100 years. The breakfasts were delicious and so plentiful that we did not want to eat lunch! The hosts are great folks and we enjoyed lingering over the maginificently decorated dining room table after breakfast sharing stories with Bonnie. The hosts drove through the Christmas blizzard from North Jersey to ensure that our experience was outstanding. We will be back.

Our stay was truly amazing! We were so well taken care of. The breakfast was an unforgetable experience. I highly recommend The John Wesley Inn! Tracey, Ron, Nick and Elena, NY

It doesn't get any better! In the past we have stayed at the Queen Victoria (twice), and The Main Stay Inn along with other B&B's in several other states and although our experiences there were fine, The John Wesley was by far the best. Most comfortable, meticulous accommodations. Not to mention that the Inn Keepers, Bonnie and Lance are absolutely delightful people. Very friendly, professional, and accommodating. The best choice we could have made to celebrate our 10th Anniversary. I can honestly say that this is the first place...EVER...that I have felt "totally" comfortable at. The Pontin's first rate help Patricia, does an excellent job ensuring that comfort. "Muchas Gracias" Don't hesitate, this little gem is your ticket to a most pleasurable little getaway. Thank You Again, Bonnie, Lance, and Patricia! P.S. Awesome breakfast! We'll be back! ;-)

If you have a personal "bucket List", be sure to list Cape May at Christmas. And when you go, be sure to stay at the John Wesley Inn. It is a glorious Victorian inn, perfectly appointed and located in the heart of the historical district. In addition to its existing beauty, the interior is beautifully decorated for the Christmas Season. The whole area is decorated but this inn is special. Its atmosphere takes you back 100 years and the hospitality is without equal. A lingering gourmet breakfast sets the tone for the day. Innkeeper Bonnie visits with the diners and soon we were all sharing Christmas stories like old friends. It's hard to put in words, but you can actually feel the Christmas atmosphere in the room and throughout the inn. It was a perfect Holiday weekend.

My husband is not a bed & breakfast kind of guy. Wherever we go we always stay at a luxury hotel. He reluctantly agreed to a stay at the John Wesley Inn. What a fabulous first experience! The inn is both lovely and romantic; it's also within short walking distance of both the beach and shopping. Our day began with the aroma of fresh coffee and home cooking. Then we strolled along the beach and sat on a bench enjoying the views. We shopped in the village, dined at a local restaurant and then ended our day sitting on the inn's veranda looking at the stars. A great amenity of the John Wesley is that they provide parking which is really convenient. And as far as the owners, Bonnie and Lance; they are both extremely warm and hospitable people......we will definitely be back!

We came down over Thanksgining weekend. The location is perfect. After a warm welcome, we made ourselves at home. We felt very comfortable spending Thanksgiving day in our room catching up on much needed sleep. No one bothered us, but we had hot coffee and wonderful nut bread waiting for us in the morning. The rooms are beautiful. We were a little disappointed that we didn't ask for a room with a sitting area though. The Inne was spotless! We had a very comfortable bed and slept like babies! In the morning we had a fabulous breakfast, met some lovely people and became more aquainted with our Hostess, Bonnie. We had a lovely stay and will definitely retun!

I was looking for a place to go for Thanksgiving weekend and found The john Wesley Inn on the internet. The reviews were terrific so I booked a room. The Inn was completely decorated for Christmas with a beautiful tree in the living room. It looked like you stepped back 100 years into a Victorian mansion. The entire town was lit up for the holidays; it was amazing. You could actually feel the holiday atmosphere in the Inn. Bonnie and Lance were great hosts. The breakfast was absolutely great. Crystal and fine china made it a special event. Bonnie came out and visited with everyone at the end of the meal and soon we were all sharing stories with each other of past Holidays. It was a wonderful way to spend time with a loved one at this beautiful B&B. I highly recommend it and will be staying there again!

We thouroughly enjoyed our stay at the John Wesley Inn and have every intention of returning! The inn is conveniently located to everything that Cape May has to offer, they have on site parking, super clean rooms, fantastic breakfasts and an amazing hostess... what could be better? Don't wait ... get out of the rat race and book your stay now! :)

I originally booked a stay at the John Wesley Inn to get away with my fiance for his birthday. We decided to get married there. Bonnie and Lance helped us do it. She helped me get a minister to perform the ceremony and they agreed to be our witnesses. On saturday, Oct. 23rd, we got married right in front of the fireplace, took some beautiful pictures then went on a horse a carriage ride. Bonnie helped us make the perfect choice for our wedding dinner and we were treated like royalty. It was truely a perfect day. Bonnie and lance treated us like we have known eachother for years and everytime I called her with a question, she always talked to me. The Inn was romantic and exactly what I was looking for to get away. I will never forget that day. We will be spending every anniversary there. We were treated like family and the inn was beautiful. I recommend any couple to have the experience that we had. Thank you again, Bonnie and Lance, for making our weekend perfect. Lori and David Wagner

My husband, Mark and I have been staying at the John Wesley Inn for the past 5 years. Having stayed at several other B&Bs in Cape May prior to staying at the John Wesley, there's no doubt that the John Wesley has by far been the best B&B we have stayed in. The attention to detail in our room, the entire house and the delicious breakfast, together with the care and gracious hospitality extended to all their guests by the owners, cannot compare to any other B&B in Cape May.

We had allot of fun here. The owner is great and very friendly. Breakfast was good and Everything is within walking distance.! we loved it. Made out anniversary perfect!!

We have stayed here for our anniversary twice and have had a wonderful time on both occasions. Thank you John Wesley Inn!

We stayed during the first week of October. Except for the modern electronic addtions(air conditioning, TV, Stereo) being at the inn was like stepping back in time. The beakfasts and the snacks were fantanastic and the innkeepers were friendly and able to provide insights into activities to pursue during our stay.

My wife and I enjoyed every minute of our stay. The location cannot be beat! Bonnie and Lance and all the staff were great. The John Wesley Inn is a classic B&B. I can't wait to go back!

The inn is very well kept, and the owners were able to accommodate us at a moments notice. Parking at the inn is a bonus!! The room we were in was spectacular, but a few amenities could be improved upon. For example, afternoon tea was minimal with no beverage. We weren't sure how to contact the owners if needed, and they weren't readily available throughout the stay. Breakfast was sit-down style at 9:00, where we prefer buffet and the option of going out on the porch to enjoy if we want.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the John Wesley Inn and have reservations for another visit. All the rooms are beautiful and the breakfasts were delicious. The location is ideal and Bonnie and Lance are gracious and accomadating hosts.

We recently had a very enjoyable stay at the John Wesley Inn. We always stay at B&B's but this one is exceptional. We highly recommend it and look forward to our next visit. R/P/D

This B&B was perfect for our first of many trips down by the beach. We were greeted by friendly in-keepers, and guests. Felt like a home away from home, we will definitely make the JWI our yearly labor day spot. Thanks again Bonnie, from A&R (happy couple) the Carriage house. Take care

When you enter this Inn you literally step back 100 years. It is the jewel of Cape May. The rooms, service and breakfasts were Outstanding. If you want a beautiful B&B in a great town, here is where you should be. Can't wait to go back!

The hosts are wonderful, there when you need them but not intrusive. We had a real special family week in August 2009, and the accomodations and lovely touches of the John Wesley Inn made us feel very special. The location was perfect - a short walk to the beach and close enough all the activities and merchants to make it easy and fun for 3 generations of our family. -- John Osborn

everything was perfect

My husband and I unexpectedly happened upon this beautiful Victorian inn at Cape May, New Jersey on October 17, 2008. From the moment we entered this charming elegantly decorated home with all its artistic attention to detail and furnishings of the period, we knew that we wanted to remain the week-end and experience the ambience. We stayed in the carriage house portion of the inn. The cozy living room and kitchen areas were inviting and warm featuring a spiral stairway to the second floor. The bedroom with its vaulted ceiling was grand. Victorian furnishings were just perfect adding to the atmosphere. The "Romeo and Juliet" balcony overlooking the quaint rooftops toward the ocean was a wonderful surprise especially welcoming the morning light. In addition to learning about a bit of local town history, we enjoyed the company of other guests and our gracious hosts, Bonnie and Lance Pontin, at a divine breakfast in their dining room. We enthusiastically recommend The John Wesley Inn and we look forward to our next visit. Susan and Rick DeLeon

MY HUSBAND AND i CAME DOWN IN THE SUMMERTIME BONNIE & LANCE WAS WONDERFUL AND THE FOOD BEYOND COMPAED THE AREA IS BEAUTIFUL

My daughter and I had our first mother/daughter weekend get-away and decided to stay at a B&B in Cape May. We could not have picked a better place. The accomodations and food were great and a perfect spot for shopping, restaurants, and the beach..we had it all. Bonnie and Lance were the best hosts and their home was just fantastic. Melissa and I decided to make this a yearly vacation and we will definitly book our trip at the John Wesley Inn again. Thank you Bonnie and Lance...our first mother/daughter weekend was a memorable one.
