Cape May Bed and Breakfast The Mission Inn Garden Patio  

The patio gardens are located behind the Inn. There are bubbling fountains and colorful flowers surrounding the patio. Chaise lounges make for a perfect setting for sunbathing, reading or a glass of wine. St. Francis oversees the gardens and seems to attract feathered friends who frolic in the dolphin fountain. A watchful eye will catch hummingbirds and butterflies enjoying the garden's bounty. Pick a piece of fresh fruit from our fig tree.


There is on-site guest parking and an oversized outdoor shower with in-shower bath towels and an adjacent clothesline for your convenience. Our Cape May Bed and Breakfast guest driveway passes our colorful side gardens where we grow our native blackberries. The flavor is exceptional!
