Everything was great about the price and location. My son wanted me to have a peaceful and fun birthday weekend. The pictures do not do this place justice. Check in was easy. Plenty of room. Bedrooms are large. I loved the sitting area off the main bedroom.

Every aspect of this property was superior most important were the little touches that you wouldn’t expect to see. It was like going to a relatives house. A wonderful back yard with various seating areas with the same being true inside. The kitchen was exceptional and bedrooms comfortable. I can’t say enough about it plus lastly to say that Frenchtown is a dynamic treasure.

The owner personally welcomed us at the property, gave us a tour, and made sure every question was answered. The house was absolutely spotless, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and everything exceeded our expectations. The neighbors were warm and friendly, and the charming town was just a short walk away, with great restaurants, lively bars, and the amazing Bridge Café. I can’t recommend this property highly enough for anyone looking to stay in Frenchtown!

Charming Home Near Downtown

My family, including a teenager and 3 young adults, stayed in this charming home while we were there for a wedding. We loved the location. It was very walkable and just a block from downtown and the biking/hiking path. The decor and collection of old and new games was so much fun as well.

We loved the space! It was well appointed, clean, cozy and perfect for our weekend. We love Frenchtown, having family in the area we have visited often. Being there for my mother in law’s celebration of life was a relaxing comfortable spot for our family to stay. Being able to walk to Napoli was a guilty pleasure! Recommending it to others!

About the host

Hosted by Scott Deter

Host profile image
We have lived in Frenchtown for over 20 years, and love this town, the river, and this circa 1880's house.

Why they chose this property

This home is historic, quirky, and comfortable. It's walking distance from the Delaware River, downtown shops and restaurants, and Artyard, as well as public parks and hiking trails, and the popular bike path that runs from Frenchtown to Trenton, NJ. Winters here are cozy and quiet, spring is bursting with color, summers are filled with river fun, and autumn in Frenchtown is bustling with activity and awash in seasonal hues.

What makes this property unique

Parking is a premium in Frenchtown -- we have three off-street parking spots, accessible from an alley directly behind the house. We also have an outdoor shower -- those who know, know ; )
