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.

We stayed here while in town for a college tour, and loved it! The home is beautifully appointed, and the breakfast was nothing short of amazing. The owner was friendly and accessible, and thought of everything to make our stay comfortable, from a sound machine next to the bed, freshly baked cookies and chilled water in the room, to wine, coffee and tea in the great room. We slept very well, and were sad to leave!
