'The jewel of them all has got to be the Mainstay,' according to the Washington Post. Built by a pair of wealth gamblers in 1872, this elegant, exclusive clubhouse is now one of the premier B and B inns in the country. Guests enjoy 12 antique filled rooms and suites, three parlors, spacious gardens and rocker filled verandahs. Breakfast and afternoon tea daily. Beautiful beaches, historic attractions, biking, birding, golf, and tennis.

The Mainstay Inn is a fantastic bed and breakfast in beautiful Cape May. We were there on December 28, 2012 our second trip to the MAinstay Inn and it Was wonderful. The rooms are beautiful and the service is excellent. We will defiantly be back in the spring and summer.

Elegant Inn. Furnished with lovely antique and period reproduction furniture. Our room was elegant, comfortable, and clean. Gracious innkeeper. Delightful afternoon tea and delicious breakfast provided. Easy walk to shopping, restaurants, sights, and the beach. It was the perfect place in Cape May for us to stay,

We were so glad we chose the Mainstay Inn as our first B&B. We could not have asked for a more beautiful place. The service, the staff, the room and the food were beyond our expectations. We enjoyed ourselves so much we booked for next year before leaving. We don't feel the need to try another B&B, because Diane showed us a wonderful time and we look forward to next year. If you are looking for beauty, warmth and hospitality beyond belief, the Mainstay Inn is the B&B you need to visit.

First time in Cape May, walked around, checked everything out and i'm not sure I would have stayed anywhere else. The place has a more recent rich history and you can tell that the people genuinely care about the place.
