CORNER CUPBOARD
INN AMONG THE PINES
REHOBOTH BEACH, DELAWARE
Tucked away on a sandy
street , Park Avenue, sits the Corner Cupboard Inn,
“the inn that was in
before inns were in” under pines known as Rehoboth Pines. It
gives
the feeling it should be
near a mountain lake or Cape Cod.
The inn has eighteen
sleeping rooms and a most popular restaurant, or should we
say 'eating place' ?
Whatever, they serve Eastern Shore cooking with a bit of southern
flair.
There have been many well
known guest hosted almost year after year.
Corner Cupboard has a
strict policy regards the guest arrival and partings but facts
are
that foreign diplomats and military attaches and U.S. Government personnel enjoy the
Inn hospitality with world
wide guests who enjoy the inviting warmth of a wood burning
fireplace, no signs of a
commercial registration desk. Meals are served either inside or
outside.
Today, the years after
1974, the reputation and popularity is in charge of Elizabeth
Gundry Hooper, the niece of Alice and Jessie Gundry who in 1932
opened the place.
Corner Cupboard is special
due to the fact that there are no major changes year to year.
The friendly atmosphere is
always there. It's like “grandmothers place” of years gone by.
Mrs Hooper died in 1999.
