June 15, 2013
We had a great stay at The Mason Cottage this week! We usually stay in B&B's and this one ranks at the top of our list. Patti was an amazing hostess and wonderful cook. The breakfasts were delicious.....I miss the French Toast Casserole already!! The afternoon Tea Time was always good and very welcome after a busy day walking and biking around town. The rooms were spotless and very comfortable! We loved the availability of bikes to use and found that to be the best way to get around. We highly recommend this lovely B&B and plan to return...probably in the fall for a different perspective!

We have been to Cape May a number of times the week between Christmas and New Years and this has been our favorite inn so far. The B&B was decorated beautifully, imacculate and very inviting. Patti was a wonderful hostess. Her cooking was delicious even though we had to request special dietary needs to due to a food allergy. She even made special gluten free vegan cookies for us and had them ready before tea time so that we could catch a show. We stayed in the Davis Suite which was so cozy and comfortable. We can't wait to do it all over again! Thanks, Patti!!!

September 29, 2012
We love the Mason Cottage - just home from a week there. We stayed in the Davis Suite this time. We also have stayed in the Grand Maison Suite. We recommend Davis. The very best part of the Inn is the Innkeeper Extraordinaire, Patti. She runs a wonderful inn. She is always ready to make dinner reservations or suggest a spa treatment or those fabulous breakfasts (I wish my mother's had been that good -- these are definitely restaurant quality, at home meals) or the treats at tea time. She's a keeper. The Inn is comfortable and clean and we highly recommend it,. Jane and John Horstman
