History of the Eldredge House, circa 1780
Country Charm... by The Sea

The historic Eldredge House is the oldest operating Inn in Cape May - originally home to Thomas Eldredge and his sister, Mary, who both helped settle the Cape May region.

The Eldredge Family, direct descendants of The Mayflower, originally settled in Falmouth, Massachusetts. A ship pilot, importer and farmer, Thomas' sprawling acreage made the perfect setting for his original homestead.

The Eldredge House is a featured on Historic Home Tours with Mid- Atlantic Center for The Arts throughout the year. It is located just far enough from the busy crowds, but close enough to walk everywhere in town. The Cove Beach, Historic District, and Washington Street Mall are only a liesurely 10-minute stroll away.

Situated between the beach, shopping and several vineyards, The Eldredge House is a great place to relax and unwind. The small number of rooms also allows you to feel like you "own the place."

We hope to see you in Cape May soon.
