Once an exclusive gambling club, the Mainstay is now an elegant Victorian Inn furnished in splendid antiques. Within a lovely garden setting, the Inn and adjacent Cottage feature wide rocker-lined verandas, and large, high-ceilinged rooms, which are lavishly, but comfortably furnished.
The Mainstay is a landmark within a National Historic Landmark town, and is but a short walk to restaurants, shops, theater, concerts, nature trails, and beaches. AAA, Mobil Guide, BBIANJ, Select Registry.
"I don’t believe I have ever seen a historic house so painstakingly and lovingly restored and preserved. Nor have I seen an Inn more inviting and attractive." -Richard Moe, President, National Trust for Historic Preservation.
Breakfast is served family style around the original walnut dining table from mid-September to mid-June. Strangers are no more after enjoying a Mainstay breakfast featuring great food and conversation. From mid-June to mid-September, a summer breakfast buffet is provided for indoor or veranda dining. Bathing suits and tennis clothes are okay too.
From 4:00 to 5:00 p.m., daily hot or iced tea, homemade sweets, fresh fruit and tea sandwiches or specialty cheese spreads will refresh you after a fun day in old Cape May.
