The Connections Warren Watchung Edition June/July/August

theconnectionsnj.com DESTINATION SUMMER PAGE 28 Imagine stepping through a portal where you can leave behind worldly cares and experience a feast for your senses. From the delicious breakfast to the lush gardens and pastoral views, the Woolverton Inn, an exquisite getaway in Stockton, N.J., is fondly referred to as “a faraway place close to home.” The natural beauty of this historic inn and property is breathtaking. The estate invites guests to stroll about on 10 acres of park-like grounds adjacent to 300 acres of preserved farmland in Hunterdon County, New Jersey’s center for agriculture. Visitors are encouraged to spend time outside, enjoying the peaceful, natural setting any time of year. The inn is open year-round, 7 days a week and sits high above the Delaware River, a few miles from the popular tourist destinations of New Hope, PA and Lambertville, NJ. Guest room accommodations offer comfort and luxury: gas fireplaces, whirlpool tubs, outdoor and indoor seating. Breakfast is a treat - gourmet quality, and freshly made each morning, served in the dining room, on the veranda, or delivered graciously to your guest room. Start with freshly baked muffins or scones, followed by fresh fruit or homemade granola. Main entrees could be Gran-Marnier French toast, eggs Florentine, garden-vegetable omelets, or fresh berry pancakes. All are served with specialty bacon or sausage and garnished beautifully. By design, there are no televisions in the guest rooms, but this leaves time for conversation, reading, music, board games, and a stop at the pasture fence to feed the adorable sheep. There are many activities and sites to see in the area, from biking, hiking, walks in the charming, country towns, specialty shopping, wineries, museums, art galleries and more. Dining options range from fine cuisine to casual pubs, with river views, lively in-town bars, unique restaurants, farm to table, and amazing menu selections. People come to Woolverton Inn from near and far, for various reasons, but everyone hopes to relax and get away from their busy lives. Woolverton is an ideal place for couples, friends, and family to spend quality time together, reconnect, or celebrate a special occasion. The idyllic setting of the inn is also perfect for a marriage proposal or honeymoon. (Staff will gladly helpmake your stay romantic, with fresh red roses, sumptuous chocolate truffles, and champagne ready on arrival.) Expecting parents can plan a timely “baby-moon” to rest up before the big day. In-room massages are available to help you relax and feel pampered.
