Confessions of a Cape May Innkeeper

Since 1995, Deanna has shared an onsite diary of “Yuletide Confessions of an Innkeeper” with her visitors at Antoinette’s Apartments & Suites. In her writings, Deanna shares her life experiences while transitioning from a computer field to the Innkeeper business. The first issue appeared in print in 1995, followed closely the next year by her 1996 edition.

Over the years, Deanna resorted to sending out standard holiday cards instead of continuing her stories, but she quickly received hate mail from her readers for failing to continue her Yuletide Confessions tales. Of course that meant she had to resume creating her annual saga, so she resumed in the year 2000.

By going green, we are now pleased to include her Yuletide Confessions series on our website. As new editions are created, they will be added in the future. Please enjoy these tales of the inn and learn more about our journey as a Cape May business.

Enjoy! Read the latest issue of Antoinette’s Apartments & Suites Yuletide Confessions.

Guest Comment~

After many visits to your wonderful establishment, I finally took the time to read your Yuletide Confessions. I truly enjoyed your part of history of Antoinette’s [Apartments & Suites]! I know in my future visits I will see things here a bit differently, as I already am. I’m admiring your upholstery work and Victorian lampshades; which I may have otherwise not given much attention. Maybe a quick glance & “Oh aren’t they nice”. I think it’s wonderful that you continue your education in so many different venues! Your talents show throughout Antoinette’s Apartments & Suites. I enjoyed getting to know your family and friends, and either did not remember or did not know that your Dad was the Dollhouse Contractor, what beautiful work! Thank you for seeking a new adventure back in 1995! I know all your guests are grateful you did; as we have such a warm & beautiful place to stay when we visit lovely Cape May. Debby, Waretown, NJ

Thank you Deanna! We had a wonderful time here. And John and I both loved the apartment. We look forward to returning again next year. We both also enjoyed reading some of your Confessions! Thanks again! John & Laurie G. Quakertown, PA

I enjoyed your story! Bravo to you for the courage to change, try new things and generosity to all It was a wonderful read. I am retired and care for my mom who is 99. She lives with us so I can appreciate the sacrifices with your dad. He was really blessed with you and your family. We enjoyed the apartment so much and had a great rest and respite…Continue to enjoy life. Marijane
