Walk to Lambertville and New Hope from the Barn Door Cottage, a restored and expanded cottage located directly across from the Delaware Canal Towpath. Guests love being able to walk to restaurants, shops, galleries, festivals, and local events while still enjoying a private home with outdoor space.
The cottage is especially popular for family gatherings, wedding weekends, girls' trips, reunions, Princeton-area events, and group getaways. The open floor plan connects the kitchen, dining room, and living room, creating a comfortable space for meals, conversation, games, and spending time together. The indoor living areas flow directly onto the patio and fenced backyard, making it easy for groups to gather both inside and outside.
The home accommodates up to 10 guests in 3 bedrooms with flexible sleeping arrangements. The primary bedroom features a king bed, a reading nook with a daybed and trundle, and a large walk-in closet housing an additional daybed and trundle. The additional bedrooms each contain a queen bed. This layout works especially well for families with children, cousins traveling together, girls' weekends, wedding parties, and other groups that want to stay together while still enjoying the comfort of a whole house.
Guests consistently praise the cottage for its cleanliness, comfort, location, and thoughtful amenities. We work hard to ensure the property is exceptionally clean and well stocked for every stay.
Outside, guests enjoy a fenced backyard, patio, grill, fire pit, and complimentary bicycles. Many guests spend part of their stay exploring the Delaware Canal Towpath directly across the street or walking into Lambertville and New Hope.
The cottage is pet-friendly with prior approval. The fenced yard provides outdoor space that many guests traveling with dogs appreciate.
For guests who need to work remotely, the house includes high-speed Wi-Fi, wired internet connections, and dedicated workspaces. Each bedroom includes a desk, and charging stations are located throughout the house.
On-street parking is available, and loading and unloading is easy directly in front of the garage.
Please note that a one-time setup and linen fee may apply for larger groups. Rather than charging per guest per night, we use a setup-based approach that helps cover the additional linens, towels, quilts, amenities, and preparation required for larger groups while maintaining the cleanliness standards reflected in our guest reviews.
