Just 8 miles from Princeton and an easy drive to NYC (55 mi) and Philadelphia (45 mi). The space THE FARMHOUSE This isn’t a weekend rental dressed up as a farm—it’s the real thing. The farmhouse has been lovingly restored to honor its 250 years of history while giving you every comfort you’d expect: a full kitchen, cozy living areas, and bedrooms that sleep 5–8 guests comfortably. Wide-plank floors, deep window sills, and original details give every room character. THE GROUNDS Step outside and the farm opens up. The stocked fishing pond stretches about an acre—bring your pole or borrow ours. The pickleball court is ready for play (paddles and balls provided).
