Check out The Sunflower Room, with a vaulted ceiling, colorful decorations and plenty of room to stretch out, or rent the inn’s spacious cottage with a private backyard.
- Causey Mansion B&B :
In Central Delaware,
that homestyle charm comes with an air of refinement at the Causey Mansion Bed & Breakfast in Milford. Constructed in 1763, featuring period lighting, décor and a widow’s walk, this B&B is within walking distance of downtown for dining or Milford’s Holiday Stroll event.
- Killens Pond :
If nature is calling to you, and you’re in need of an escape, the Delaware State Parks offer cabin rentals.
