I love the historical feel combined with modern amenities of the inn. The quaintness of the common rooms, with wine, cookies, tea and honey abound to homemade soaps in the bathrooms. The attention to detail can not be missed. The food …. The innkeeper attended culinary school and the breakfast was exceptional. Will for sure return to this gem.

The Inn

Lydia is a great host who presented a wonderfully delicious breakfast. The Inn is comfy and convenient to Princeton by car. It was built in the late 1700’s so expect creaky wood floors which we felt added to its charm. The bed was very comfortable. We will definitely stay there again!!

I travel frequently and have trouble sleeping in most hotel rooms. This was the first time in months that I actually slept. The inn is a charming and historic place on a beautiful plot of land. I was able to go through the countryside for my morning run and chase that with a delicious and healthy breakfast. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town!

Great hospitality and really nice host. Building is historic so the floors creak and the shower is a bathtub but otherwise a great stay. Breakfast was amazing- totally gourmet/ and the bed was comfy. Really appreciated the host accommodating my late checkin.

Kiddos to this beautiful Inn!

One-night stay at halfway point to our final destination. Great choice of accommodation : small, cozy, beautiful, clean and comfortable with AC! Lydia the innkeeper/ chef had everything organized for our late check-in so everything went smoothly after our long 5 + hour drive . The bed was great, breakfast was delicious. Lydia is wonderful. Spending the night in such a beautiful place was delightful!
