Chimney Hill Estate Inn

Chimney Hill Estate Inn located in historic Lambertville, New Jersey is the absolutely perfect place for a mother-daughter getaway, less than 2 hours’ drive from NYC. After a stressful work week, I knew a wellness weekend at Chimney Hill was exactly the respite that we both needed. This was our second visit and will certainly not be the last. We arrived Friday night and felt like it was a homecoming as soon as we heard the soft music, glimpsed the firelight in the Old Stone Room right off the entrance, and were greeted warmly by Sylvester, who co-owns the property with Marek. Both men are as hands-on as any hosts could be, and their passion for the place, and attention paid to every detail, ensures their guests always have the best experience. After checking in, we went out for a late dinner at Under the Moon, a recommended restaurant (just 9 minutes away), and returned to our cozy room with a mattress that makes you feel like you’re sleeping on clouds. Saturday morning we awoke to a delicious home-cooked breakfast, and along with a small group of other guests, embarked on a “meditation walk” (a mellow hike) led by Marek. It was approximately a mile each way and we found ourselves at the top of a look-out point over the water which was once used by George Washington in the days of the Revolution. We were able to appreciate nature, history, and most importantly each other’s company as we all turned off our cell phones during the walk and only used them to take some glorious photos at the top of the hill. Upon our return to Chimney Hill we were able to use the wonderful spa amenities including a sauna heated to perfection, and then, after a welcoming cold shower, a fabulous Cold Plunge. This was my first time doing hot-cold therapy and I really did not think I’d do it more than once. But it felt so good that we ended up doing three rounds of sauna and cold plunge, with a hot tub/jacuzzi finish. It was so invigorating and next time I am planning on doing four or more rounds. We were then served a healthy light lunch, fantastic soup and salad, before the afternoon’s adventure of a different sort of “therapy” - my daughter and I decided to visit the nearby Angelico winery, family-owned by Otto and Lily Angelico where we sampled one of their signature wines - a wonderful dry red called “The Miracle”. In addition to all the reasons to stay at Chimney Hill Estate, we can certainly say it is perfectly situated to visit the antiques stores and restaurants in town, and the lovely wineries. Marek and Sly are happy to share their personal recommendations with you for a well-rounded weekend that includes activities on the grounds and within a few minutes drive in either direction. We ended Saturday night in the Old Stone Room with relaxing warm herbal tea by the fire, blended with herbs chosen by Sly. Sunday morning after another fantastic breakfast at the Inn, we strolled around the town, and did a bit of shopping, before setting off home feeling rejuvenate

If I were to imagine what I would want in a bed and breakfast this place would be it. The picturesque views on the grounds of the estate were beautiful. The house was filled with old world charm. It felt like we were transported back to a simpler time. Our amazing host was attentive and helpful whenever we needed anything. The sauna and hot tubs were a great addition. We tried the cold plunge therapy and after a few bottles of wine the night before it was exactly what we needed. For a romantic getaway we couldn't have asked for more.

Beautiful, setting for a bed-and-breakfast on the banks of the Delaware river. It has great ambience and many quiet areas to enjoy yourself. The spa is a real treat, and a few good places to walk, including goat hill overlook. Bring your bike to do the Delaware towpath.

A last minute change of plans for us brought us to the Chimney Hill Esatate Inn for less than 24 hours. All in all, it was a perfect room and experience. The Inn is very accomodating and we highly recommend it! Wie will definitely come back if we have the time to thororughly enjoy all the amenities available.

This place is such a gem! From the thoughtful breakfasts in the morning that accounted for my gluten allergy, to the magnificent sauna and hot tub experience, to the high-end rustic-chic rooms, I had a lovely stay at Chimney Hill Estates. The owners, Marek and Sylvester, couldn't be nicer or more hands-on. The entire staff is lovely. Thank you, Les, for letting us tour the property. So full of charm and relaxation. I loved the chickens and getting to eat fresh eggs each morning.

Great property very clean and spacious Sylvester the host was very attentive. Property has many cosy spaces and eggs are from the chickens on property. There is a great sauna experience with a plunge pool as well The beds are comfortable and the place has a lot of charm. We really enjoyed it and will return.

Beautifully restored estate a few minutes drive to downtown Lambertville and New Hope. Comfortable room, bed, pillows. Very clean and inviting. Great, healthy breakfast. Warm hosts make you feel at home. Grounds are great for a wellness retreat, special event, wedding- very serene and romantic. Ample parking. Would definitely stay again.

A gorgeous historic home with the most welcoming host. Added bonus was a beautiful healthy breakfast and fabulous sauna. Hosts went out of their way to make me feel welcome as their guest and maintain the property beautifully too. I’ve been told it’s particularly beautiful in Fall.

Few places are special enough to want to go back to again and again and Chimney Hill is one of those places. The rooms and suites are spotless, and each have such character…modern yet inviting with inherent rustic charm. The linens are of high quality and the beds are quite comfortable. There is a simplistic beauty of the property alone, and all the extra love from Mark and his team just adds to the experience. You truly arrive as strangers and leave as friends. This was our second visit and we already cannot wait to go back. The added sauna, hot tub and cold plunge has enhanced the overall experience. The serenity of the nature surrounding you while you restore and detox your body is truly magical. My boyfriend joked that as much as he wants to tell everyone about this place, he also wants to keep it just for us at the same time. So I’ll spill the secret here, don’t tell my boyfriend :-)
