High ceilings, large lace covered windows and cheerful decorations add to the warm, friendly feeling of the parlor. Wonderful place to enjoy a conversation, enoy teatime, listen to music or just relax. The room also features "pocket window" doors once used to walk out onto the wicker filled veranda. An 1854 pump organ is also showcased.
The Leopold Room named for the first owners overlooks historic Columbia Avenue. Settle in and enjoy the breezes in the newly refurbished room furnished in the Eastlake style. (Private bath and air-conditioned)
The Dwyer Room's Lilac & rose wallpaper, highback Eastlake bed and matching marble-topped dresser and washstand bring you back to the days of lace and flowers. (air-conditioned and private bath)
The recently refurbished Callahan Room presents the guest with choices. A romantic getaway with a king-size bed or a break from the hectic schedule with a friend and twin beds. The room features marble-topped bureau, dresser, a/c and private bath. Situated in the back, it overlooks the garden.

This was our second time staying at Twin Gables. We enjoyed our stay as much this time as we did the first time. Regina is a wonderful hostess and the house is very warm and welcoming. Looking forward to the next time we can stay there again.

The place is absolutely georgeous. Our host Regina was very accomodating, warm ,friendly and hospitable. The same goes for his friend Jim who shared jokes with us . And not to forget Rascal, their pet, who's so sweet and lovable. The breakfast was scrumptious ! You just look forward to getting up in the morning and have a taste of Regina's home cooked meal. We missed everyone. We highly recommend Twin Gables if you're looking for a great place to stay in Cape May.Thank you guys for the memories....
