Love the historic home and the beautiful room. I had a wonderful visit. The room was spacious, and homey, the bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was very nice. The hospitality was 5 stars, the Inn Keeper was lovely, she provided wonderful amenities and cooked the most delicious breakfast. I felt very comfortable and enjoyed my time in the Inn and on the property. Great location too, it was nice visiting Princeton.

Old house from 1750’s. Maintains that charm. Lydia prepares a lovely breakfast and jams. She is very warm and experienced
Lucinda from United States (10/10)
I loved the beautifully restored and wonderful proportions of the very old interior rooms. There is also a spacious exterior space with a lawn barn and producing bee hives. It feels casually comfortable. The manager/chef is a great asset with help with a problem, answers to questions and suggestions for things to do-plus exceptional creative breakfasts!
Florin from United States (10/10)
Serene, impeccably maintained and sparkling clean. Lydia is an extremely gracious host!

The home is beautifully maintained, clean, and exudes a warm, homely atmosphere. The spacious bathroom was a delightful surprise. The breakfast was outstanding, especially Lydia’s homemade granola and yogurt. The peaceful location provides a perfect setting to unwind after a busy day.
