The Queen's Cottage is a private, romantic choice, always perfect for couples seeking something special in Cape May. A favorite of many of our guests, the first floor has two luxury suites, Balmoral and Osborne, each with large two-person whirlpool tubs. An adjoining parlor is for the exclusive use of our Cottage guests, and has a convenience area with a microwave, Flavia coffee maker, refrigerator, sink and complimentary beverages. The Queen's cottage also boasts a wrap around porch for the exclusive use our guests renting the two suites, as well as reserved off-street parking. Many guests agree that the porch is the best seat in town to watch the night ebb and flow of people strolling the streets in the late afternoon and early evening. It's a wonderful place to share a bottle of wine and watch the sunset.
The Queen's Cottage was built in 1888 for Mr. Jacob Gemrig, a Philadelphia surgical instrument maker, and was restored in 1988 by Dane & Joan Wells, the founders of The Queen Victoria. A single family home for many years, it was known as "The Dolls House" when it was a rooming house in the 1950s. Later, it was purchased by Ronald "Shorty" Long, a resident of many years who loved the house dearly. The front room, Osborne, was the original parlor of the home and still boasts a functional fireplace, which we've converted to gas
The Queen's Cottage is an ideal very private setting for your special occasion, and is a popular choice for couples traveling together.
