Inn Details
The John Benezet cottage, built in 1872 is known for its grace and architectural beauty. The sturdy carpenter Gothic windows are accented by the graceful charm of decorative gingerbread. The cottage became the summer retreat of Linda Lee Porter, whose name is prominently displayed on the entrance of this wonderful structure. Today, The Linda Lee, a year round bed and breakfast, combines the elegance of the past with the amenities of the present. Whether it is the beautiful guest rooms and cozy parlor, decorated with period antiques, or the breeze-caressed veranda, The Linda Lee offers the finest accomodations in Victorian Cape May.

Innkeepers
- Innkeeper(s): Archie & Stephanie Kirk
Archie & Stephanie (Owners) not only like Victorian furniture and antiques but you may even see them strolling around Cape May in their Victorian outfits. They have been voted best dressed Victorian couple. Archie loves functional antiques like their Victrola from the early 1900's that not only works but sounds great. Also, if you happen to be strolling by the Linda Lee you might even get to hear their 100 year old player piano or maybe catch them dancing to a ragtime tune or two. - The innkeepers speak: English
