As artists, we really appreciate what you have created at Aaron Burr House...a warm and friendly inn, knowledgeable (and smiling) staff and great service! Breakfast - in - Bed was such a treat for us. May was an ideal month to hike through the WildFlower Preserve and stroll through some Covered Bridges too. Your in-town location is ideal to do a little exploring and come back to rest before going back out for lunch...Our only real surprise was the great selection of live music that New Hope has at night during the week (does anyone have a real job around here?)...Thank you for pointing us to the best spots for live entertainment....

Re: Afternoon Tea Baby Shower

"I wanted to drop you a quick note to say thanks so much for the fantastic service and location you provided for the baby shower I hosted at the inn on June 9. The setting was just beautiful, the service impeccable and the food and tea fantastic. It was a wonderful affair and the mother-to-be was overwhelmed by the site and the event. I appreciate all you did to make my planning easy, especially since I was doing it long distance. You have a fine establishment and I would highly recommend it to anyone in need of lodging or a place to hold a very special and intimate event."

Re: Gift Certificates

Nadine and Carl: My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful overnight at the Inn earlier this summer. We had received a gift certificate for the Inn as a wedding gift and would like to do the same for our nephew and his fiancee who are getting married next month. How do we go about ordering a gift certificate--and we would like to add tickets for a performance at the Bucks County Playhouse? Thank you again for excellent hospitality during our stay. We look forward to hearing from you.

Re: Girls Getaway

Carl, Nadine
Salutations!! It has been my intention (you know how those go!!) to email you on several occasions, however, I have been remiss until now... I'm hoping that my feedback will not carry less weight as the result of the time that has passed since our visit on 2/11, 2/12, 2/13. In fact it should carry MORE weight, because I'm still thinking back fondly to the time spent @ the Aaron Burr w/ our AMAZING host, EJ!! My girlfriends and I shared the top floor for the weekend and were greeted each morning by the ever-gregarious EJ and a scrumptious spread!! He made fantastic suggestions for dinner, (Marsha Browns) drinks, (Boat House) and sights around town. I doubt our stay would have been as enjoyable w/out his guidance and enthusiasm for our "vacation"!! I have already had several occasions to speak of our stay in your lovely B&B and have directed many to your web-site. I hope that you value the feedback of your former (and hopefully future) guests, as that was my intention in offering it up for your perusal. EJ is a TRUE asset to your already fine establishment!! I would be thrilled to find him still in attendance upon my next visit to New Hope and the Aaron Burr House!! Thanks again for your hospitality!!

Re: Wedding Service and Honeymoon

Thanks to everyone at the Inn for making our wedding day so fantastic! We really enjoyed our 3 night stay in Room 5: great king size Sleigh Bed... We'll definitely be back for our anniversary, and yes I'm freezing the top layer of my wedding cake till then. See you then, but pictures to follow sooner!

"We took your "How -To" workshop last winter and we are thrilled to inform you that we are now new innkeepers. Just like you predicted, our change from "Missles (Defence industry) to Muffins"
was effortless with your 'zen of innkeeping' training!"

Re: A guest comment
"New Hope is a real Colonial era village, and Lambertville a real Victorian town. With that sprinkling a snow last night, they are true winter wonderlands for December shopping and fine dining. And Aaron Burr House is the place to retreat to for a hot chocolate by the fireplace in our canopied bedroom."

Re: A guest comment
"Wow! I had a fight with my honey the same week but 200 years apart from Burr's duel with Hamilton. The Burr and Hamilton families took 200 years to end their feud. With the help of this big lace-canopy bed, we kissed and made up in 2 minutes.
New Hope is for lovers, and the Aaron Burr House is the best place to kiss."

Re: A guest comment
We enjoyed our stay at your B&B. Great location. Thanks for your hospitality - and breakfast-in-bed!

Re: A guest comment
This is a super comfy, cozy, beautifully decorated inn. The homebaked cookies, Carl's secret recipe Almond Liquor and the fresh-picked apples were great touches. Our Breakfast Tray was beautifully presented too. Friendly and knowledgeable innkeepers topped off a relaxful midweek escape from life. Loved New Hope and the whole inn experience here.

"Finding New Hope Again"

This small Pennsylvania rivertown melds its history - from 18th century village to '60's artist colony to trendy getaway destination - into a comfortable whole....The Wedgwood Inn is a two minute walk from Main Street - and Lambertville, New Jersey, a sister rivertown on the east bank of the Delaware River. Rooms are appointed with an eclectic mix of Victorian furnishings, Wedgwood china and original art...our first pick for lodging in New Hope."

Native son, James A. Michener, welcomes you to Bucks County. (1994)

Bucks County is one of the few counties in the United States that is famous under its own name. Cook County in Illinois and Dade in Florida are other examples. Bucks County enhanced its well deserved fame in the early years of this century and for three good reasons.

First, its considerable physical beauty and its abundance of old family dwellings made it attractive to residents of New York City and Philadelphia. This made it a kind of residential paradise, with its winding roads, covered bridges and beautiful valleys. Second, a group of wonderfully gifted painters congregated in New Hope, making it the art capitol of the area and the center of an entire school of painting. Daniel Garber, Edward Redfield and John Folinsbee gained national attention.

Third, in the 1920's onward a much different group of famous writers settled here, with Pearl Buck winning the Nobel Prize and others winning Pullitzers. George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart wrote their stage hits, Sid Pearlman his memorable satires, Dorothy Parker her witticism and Oscar Hammerstein his great books and lyrics for stage and musicals.

Bucks County was covered with writers and painters, but its good reputation also rested on the basic structure of the area. The small towns of Doylestown and New Hope became popular, the first for two castles built by Henry Mercer and New Hope for its sense of Nineteenth Century charm and interesting biuldings and fine dining. Other towns like Quakertown and Bristol offered their own historic riches.

As a lifelong resident of Bucks and as one proud of his region's heritage of old English and German culture, i am proud to welcome you to my county and to extend hospitality to you and your family. We have always welcomed visitors - since the time of William Penn. George Washington had an auspicious time here, so did

Edward Hicks, painter of "Peacable Kingdom". And so can you.
