SECLUDED LAKESIDE HAVEN at the SHORE - Cape May Court House

Discover Cape May County - the hidden gem of Southern New Jersey. Be our guest on a crystal clear lake surrounded by tall pines and wetlands, creating a vast wildlife habitat in a sanctuary of natural artistry. Great care has been taken to nurture a secluded environment to explore, restore and create; all on a hidden lake with its own sandy beach. Local beach passes, hiking trails, direct access to the county bike path, fire pit, hammocks, water sports, etc. are all included in your stay.

Our secluded four-season retreat welcomes the guest seeking the peace of an exclusive nature getaway, just minutes from renowned beach communities. Leave behind the distractions and busyness of life and make room for stillness and the internal conversations that bring healing and wellness. Whether sitting amidst the pines, catching a sunset from the deck, hiking winding trails, exploring the adjacent county bike path, fishing in a hidden cove, wading in perfectly clear waters, or writing, drawing, birding, boating, singing, praying; a time of peaceful recreation, creativity and restoration awaits.

THE ROOM:
The Loft is in its own building, adjacent to the main house where your hosts live. Guests enter through a private, "contactless" foyer using a personalized keypad.

A set of stairs lead you to a spaciously designed and well appointed 2nd story loft with a private deck providing full views of the beautiful lake while enjoying your morning or sunset beverage. Large windows flood the open concept space with natural light. The room also has a french balcony, hardwood floors throughout, an eating area for two, a bar/small sink with granite counters, a generous & comfortable living space, a dreamy queen size bed nook with nearby reading chairs, a walk in closet, and a modern bathroom with glass door and tiled shower.
