" Chestnut Hill on the Delaware’s first-rate location cannot be overemphasized. Situated within easing driving distance of both New York and Philadelphia, our gorgeous inn was selected by The Discerning Traveler as a "Romantic Hideaway," and has been featured in New York Magazine and The New York Daily News. Chestnut Hill overlooks the nationally designated "Wild and Scenic" lower Delaware River, directly across from Bucks County, Pennsylvania; its quiet gardens are a mere two-minute walk from the unfailingly quaint village of Milford, New Jersey, with its far-famed bakery, brewpub, and farm market. A certain aesthetic podiatry allows guests to take a load off their feet almost anywhere at Chestnut Hill: antique rocking chairs grace the inn's wraparound verandah; beach chairs dot its secluded river terrace, deck, and dock—even inner tubes are available for floating on the Delaware. The inn's interior, meanwhile, is every inch as lovely as its facade. While the first floor remains hyper-Victorian (check out the drawing-room's gold leafing), the second and third floors are cleverly appointed, their breezy rooms combining venerable furnishings with modern comforts (ease out of a four-poster bed and slide into a double whirlpool Jacuzzi). Quaint, elegant, tranquil, beautiful, romantic, Victorian—we repeat these rather syrupy words in order to land hits on our Web site. We use them, however, without the slightest pang of guilt, for they describe our Hunterdon County bed-and-breakfast with great precision—the inn truly is quaint, elegant, tranquil, beautiful, romantic, and Victorian. It also happens to be enormously quaint, immeasurably elegant, profoundly tranquil, horribly beautiful, undeniably romantic, wickedly Victorian . . . " |
