We spent three nights at the Mason Cottage while visiting Cape May for the wonderful birding opportunities. We have often stayed at B and Bs and rank this one among the finest. The home has been lovingly restored and the rooms are well equipped and quiet. Patti is a great host, offering her 'insider' view of where to eat in... More

With only a short time to visit Cape May, the Mason Cottage was a great romantic destination! It has convenient street parking, an amazing location and great rooms. We stayed in the Davis suite where we enjoyed both the fireplace and the whirlpool during our visit. It has a warm and inviting atmosphere that made us want to spend the... More

This was the first B+B I have ever visited. The Innkeeper set a classy and peaceful atmosphere. The food was delicious. This trip has set the bar for any other B+B I will stay at in the future. More

We made a spur-of-the-moment trip during the week between Christmas and New Years and had a wonderful visit. With little advance notice, Patti prepared a delicious gluten-free breakfast that was outstanding. The Mason was beautifully decorated for Christmas, as were many of the B&Bs in the area. What a delight - it was our first trip to Cape May and... More

This was our third stay at the Mason Cottage and it was wonderful as always. The room we stayed in (Columbia Room) was clean and comfortable, perfect for my husband and I. Patti was very accommodating, as always. She prepared us a delicious vegan, gluten free breakfast and goodies for tea time. The weather was beautiful so we were able... More

We loved everything about our stay at the Mason Cottage. Patti was a wonderful host and provided us with everything we needed, from fresh baked cookies at tea time to restaurant recommendations around the area. The breakfast was also delicious. We stayed in the Decatur room and enjoyed the space very much. What we enjoyed most about the Mason Cottage... More

We enjoyed a long weekend in Cape May at the Mason Cottage. The weather gets a big thumbs down as we were fogged in the entire time, but the Cottage and her manager, Patty get two thumbs up! We got to tour all the rooms but one before the guests checked in and they are all lovely. Some with Jacuzzi... More

We had a little wedding on Friday preceding a bigger wedding later in the year. We wanted to get away from Saturday to Sunday. Usually the cottage requires a 2 night stay, but Patti was very accommodating. She let us stay just for the night and put us in a room facing the ocean. It was lovely from the moment... More

We got what we expected in a top-notch (and top-cost) B&B. Other than some noise from an adjacent room, it was near perfect. More

Being at the Mason this year in different quarters then last year really gave a brand new perspective on this quaint, very well kept Victorian Manor House. Being in a upstairs suite impressed us with the complete quality and attractiveness of the Mason. The suite itself gave us more room then the beautifully appointed Columbia Room downstairs, and was very... More
