This was such a rejuvenating stay. As a natural introvert I barely spoke to anyone and loved it…lol! It’s everything mentioned and more. Robin’s care for detail is wonderful. I went on the lake, in and around it. So many places to just quietly be. I enjoyed the outdoor shower and nature everywhere. It rained but I was also able to visit Stone Harbor, Avalon, and three other beaches around Cape May. Best of both worlds without the business of people! Loved my stay!
We had a wonderful stay at the lake! The studio was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed and more. The property grounds are gorgeous and charming. We loved using the paddle boards and kayaks, exploring nearby towns, and ending the night by the fire pit. Thank you, Robin, for sharing your beautiful space! We can't wait to come back.
We are so grateful to Robin for an obviously carefully organized home on such a stunning lake with so much close by.

A Little Piece of Paradise
What an amazing place to stay! It's even better than the pictures. We spent just 2 days here after staying in NY for a week at a baseball tournament. It was so relaxing and close to Stone Harbor and Avalon. A wonderful experience!
I had a great time staying here Robin was amazing and the house was just gorgeous like nothing I have ever seen will definitely be coming back sometime! it was perfect for writing some song’s or just having some peace to myself.
This is a hidden gem with a beautiful lake, serene surroundings, gracious owners, and super clean and comfortable modern loft. We did not want to leave. We made some very nice memories, enjoyed every minute at the lake. Great restaurants and many things to do in the area.
An extremely tranquil and relaxing lakeside retreat! Host Robin thought of everything and was such a pleasure to meet. The loft is well-appointed and lake views are gorgeous! Plenty of outdoor activities available and close to shopping, beach, etc. We hope to stay again one day.
Needed a place to stay for the weekend near Stone Harbor while visiting extended family. Found this gem and so happy about it! The property is beautiful and the place is so comfortable and had the best little deck to sit on and look at the lake and all the beautiful plantings. If you have to get out of bed a lot this place might not be for you, as someone has to be against the windows but overall it was an amazing stay for us, and we would love to come back again. Thank you so much Robin for a great experience!
We stayed in the loft to attend a wedding nearby and enjoyed every second!! Robin is a lovely, warm, welcoming host and person. We wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy her property and hope to be back soon. Highly recommend!! Thank you, Robin and Family!
This is a true retreat in an incredible setting that was designed with love and is so obviously tended with great care. There were roses and a tiny heart on the TP roll when we arrived (I noticed!), a tiny bottle of organic milk in the fridge for coffee and tea, extra towels for the beach, a thoughtful library, DVD selection and Roku TV. And outside: A pristine lake, hiking trails with plenty of lovely places to stop and watch the herons, osprey, songbirds, and turtles. It is really an incredible spot. Robin is a thoughtful and gracious host who went out of her way to make our stay a real pleasure. What more can I say except that I hope to return there again!
The loft was absolutely delightful, very welcoming and comfortable. The grounds were calmingl and refreshing. The walk around the lake was full of wildlife. Want to return again when we can stay longer and enjoy everything they offer.Thank you Robin
This is truly an exceptional place to relax, recharge, and enjoy everything nature has to offer from the trail hikes, lake, water activities to just sitting still and watching the wild life. For the first time ever I preferred to stayed at the property rather than go to the beach. Robin is a wonderful host, very responsive, accommodating and attentive. The place is super clean and has everything you need for your stay. I cannot wait to come back!
This was such a nice getaway for my daughter and myself. The process was so easy and the owner was so polite and attentive. I cannot say enough how beautiful this property is. The lake is so clear and clean and it was so nice to have our own private lake area. There was so much to do there, we always had something to do. On the other hand, it was so peaceful and tranquil. This is the perfect place to get away and reconnect with yourself and God. I totally recommend this property.

First Family Vacation
My wife an I decided to go on a little weekend getaway for our first family vacation with our 8 month old daughter. I came across Robin & Eric's property on VRBO and thought it looked perfect for us. Let me just say it blew away all of our expectations! Eric greeted us upon our arrival and gave us a tour of the loft, which is amazing. It was spotlessly clean and had all the amenities you'd need and more. You could easily spend most of the weekend in the loft if the private lake in the back wasn't so gorgeous. How can you not love a private lake with beach chairs, a hammock and a fire pit?! They also have canoes if you wanted to go out onto the lake which unfortunately we did not take advantage of. The property is also only a few minute drive from Stone Harbor beach which was perfect for our daughter. Also the property is located only 2 minutes from the Cape May County Zoo. I've never stayed anywhere else in the Cape May area but I can say without a doubt that Robin & Eric's place is the BEST place!! The attention to detail they put into their property is amazing and trumps any nice expensive hotel I've ever stayed in. Bottom line if you look into their place and don't stay with them you're nuts!! Thank you Robin & Eric for an amazing stay!

Business Trip
My stay at this studio was much more than I expected. I was on a business trip and after a long day the return to this warm, quiet, exceptionally clean and comfortable studio was relaxing. I hope to return on a vacation to enjoy the lake. Robin was a most gracious host.

Wonderful time
My son and I fully enjoyed our stay. After a few days in New York, this was relaxing, peaceful. My son enjoyed the lake so much, he didn't want to go to the ocean anymore. Our hosts gave us a nice and warm welcome. We felt at home. They try to make our stay the best ever. We appreciate the fact that the loft was very clean. We loved the nice kitchen and we ate fish and sea food take out almost every night. I highly recommend this place. Thank you again for the nice stay. I hope we'll go back.

Lovely place
What a great little place. The lake is very peaceful and it's a beautiful setting. Robin and Eric were terrific hosts and quick to respond to any inquiries. It's enough away from the traffic and congestion but close enough to the shore and different tourist attractions if you want to venture out. We would definitely stay there again.

A destination in & of itself
Not only is this a place at the shore, accessible to all kinds of highlights (like historic Cape May, the Wildwood Boardwalk, county vineyards), it's also a destination in and of itself.
This would be true of just the suite--because it's gorgeous--light-filled, spacious, awesome bed/bedding; but the land itself is an attraction: boating, sunsets, hikes, picnicking, fishing, birding.
Staying at Adullam is a win/win/win: priced nice; comfortable, clean exquisite accommodations; and centrally located.
