Dr. Jonathan Pitney's turn-of-the- century home has been lovingly restored into a bed and breakfast with a warm and friendly atmosphere. This home was originally built by Samuel Reed in 1799. Dr. Pitney purchased the colonial-style home in 1833, but when he added on in 1848, the addition was built in an Italiante style.

Tastefully furnished with period antiques: two bedrooms, the dining room, kitchen and maid quarters are in colonial decor; four bedrooms and the Granville Room are in a Victorian vogue settings and are all located in the Pitney House.

Take a step back into the past as each bedroom includes it's own private bath, most with authentic claw-foot tubs. Imagine the picturesque beauty and romance of nestling in front of a cozy fireplace with that special someone in your own private room. The ambiance of a by-gone era has been captured in each room for your relaxation and a rejuvenating stay.

Breakfast is a "special time." Start your day with a full buffet breakfast served in our Colonial Dining Room consisting of freshly squeezed juices, homemade breads and coffee cakes, entrees ranging from over-stuffed French toast to soufflés to hot fruit dishes.

You are just minutes from Dr. Pitney's Atlantic City for fine dining, casinos, convention center, boardwalk and beaches. Historic Smithville and Hamilton Mall for shopping. Renault Winery for a historic tour, Marriott Seaview Country Club for golfers, and Edward B. Forsythe Bird Sanctuary for the bird watcher to name a few activities to pass your time. Or take a stroll, nestle down to a good book, relax or just day-dream in the quintessential Commonyard of convivial blooming flowers, bushes and trees located between the Pitney House and the Doctor's Guest Quarters. In the winter, gather in the Granville Room for a glass of wine, sparkling cider or a spot of tea and enjoy the warmth of the fireplace while chatting with other guests.
