Great little spot. Perfect location for enjoying Lambertville or New Hope! Each room has its own controlled temperature which was nice. The upper porch and back deck were fantastic for enjoying the outside sights and sounds. Already booked a return visit in 6 months! Two things would make it even better…tissues and in the kitchen, a whisk (for frothing milk for capuccinos)

Great spot right on the canal path

We spent a weekend here and it was perfect for what we needed. Close to town with an easy walk along the canal tow path. Easy parking and comfortable accommodations.

This house is cozy. We enjoyed the courtyard in back. The kitchen was very well equipped, including dishware, cooking pots and utensils, lots of options for making coffee, and basics like olive oil, salt and pepper. The location on the tow path is so pleasant, and the town is very walkable. The wifi and smart tvs were also appreciated amenities. The owner was easily available and very friendly.

Hello and thank you for the good review! Sorry the mattresses weren’t to your liking…. Most people rave about them. As the same goes. To each his own. Thanks for staying with us.

This was a great place for us while visiting friends for a gathering in New Hope. Loved the location and Elliot’s home was very comfortable with loads of charm. Comfortable beds, clean bathrooms and kitchen as well as a very well stocked & useable kitchen. It’s always nice to have a spot to hang out with fellow travelers and the kitchen proved to be our gathering place. He was very responsive with several questions I had before booking as well as a few more before our arrival. There were a couple of things that we noted while we were there that needed a little attention and he was very receptive about it when I let him know. They were small things that didn’t have any significant impact on our stay but I let him know so they could be taken care of for future guests. I’m hoping to have the opportunity to stay here again.!

House was alittle older than expected, heat was hard to keep in the house so i was consistently cold. Furniture could use an update & shower took awhile to get hot & stay hot. Other than that views were beautiful. Was hoping to like this place

Response from VrboOwner on 21 Jan 2026
Thank you for the review. The house is old, and historic that’s part of the charm. but we’ve updated it a lot and modernized. built for the Canal builders in the 1830s. Unfortunately, your stay came at an abnormally cold time of the year. I think we were averaging about 10 to 15°. But there are tricks to using the heating system to make it run better. We also have a backup furnace that could have been turned on if requested. Don’t be afraid to reach out and ask owners in the future. We’re always eager to help.

Perfect place to stay

The stay Elliot’s place was perfect. The place is adorable with everything you could possibly need. The yard and upstairs porch which over looks the D &R canal are both great places for coffee and drinks. We brought our bikes and the path was literally feet from our door. We will definitely stay again.
