Destination guide

The meeting place of great minds

Princeton has been the meeting point for some of the country's best minds for over 200 years. If you like the blend of history, fine dining and thought-provoking attractions, you've come to the right place. There are simply too many things to do during your first stay in a Princeton vacation rental. Summer opens up the opportunities for walking and canoeing, while the cozy cafes and restaurants are inviting during the cold winter months. Whether you're looking for a cultural escape or a place to bring the whole family, Princeton has got you covered.

Activities

Activities for every season

There's no better season in the year to visit, only different things to do. In the glorious New Jersey summer sunshine, you can saddle up to gallop along the exciting equestrian paths. Alternatively, you can rent a kayak and spend a peaceful afternoon gliding downstream. Cycling is popular in this part of the world, and there are plenty of places for you to ride. During winter, you can wrap up warm to ice skate on the rinks in the park or head into town to browse through the boutiques in search of a bargain.

Weather

Hot summers and freezing winters

The weather in New Jersey is typical of the East Coast, filled with hot summers and freezing winters. The months between July and August tend to be the busiest and it can be a little tricky to score a Princeton vacation rental unless you book early. If you can, try to visit in the shoulder months when the weather can be more comfortable and the attractions less busy. December is always a wonderful time of year to visit, when the Christmas decorations light up the town and there is a full calendar of festive events.

Natural features

A tiny refuge, packed with wildlife

If spotting wildlife is important, try to visit outside the winter months. Princeton vacation rentals are just a short drive away from the Charles H. Rogers Wildlife Refuge, which teems with a diverse assortment of animals. While it may be made up of just 39 acres, a walk through the woods and marshland reveals everything from shy racoons to cheeky woodchucks. You'll likely spot a bounding eastern cottontail as well as a white-tailed deer or two. It's particularly scenic in the spring when the refuge comes alive with wildflower like lilies and violets.
