The GF's birthday is almost here and she wants to go to a lakeside bed and breakfast for her birthday weekend. I've searched on google for an hour now and can't find any. Maybe some of you would have a suggestion.

 

Looking for something in NJ or Penn. Hopefully under 2 hr drive from Somerset Cty

 

Help!

Not lakeside, but a nice place to spend a few days. Lot's of good food and tons of shopping (I'm sure the GF will appreciate that).

It's been awhile but the wife and I stayed at Porches B&B in New Hope Pennsylvinia and I remember there was no shortage of good B&B's,dining,sightseeing ,shopping,bike riding along the canal and nightlife.

It gets rather raucous and crowded around this time of year but good fun, just ask if there are any Bike meets near where you decide to stay because God knows those bikers can party.

There's a whole bunch of 2 night stay deals over at living social right now:

I know a couple of people who stayed here and really liked it. It can be a bit pricey though. I have been wanting to take my wife but just haven't been able to fit it in the schedule.

If you're interested in something with even more romantic, try Paradise Stream in the Poconos. It's expensive, but worth it if you looking for something romantic and adult specific. They might even have cabins.

Any time I have been there I was just meeting a couple friend from PA to BS or trade bike parts and other stuff. Other than that if I'm riding I am usually not partying, I'll save that for the the night where ever I find a place to camp. Did way too many things years ago that I probably shouldn't be here anymore so I don't tempt fate. As far as places in New Hope to crash for the night, no idea

 

By the way 99% of them ain't bikers by my idea of what a biker is but then again, I never did the weekend play someone who I am not...

I just checked-out their website (Porches) and I fell in-love with the place. Right on the canal, steps away from everything! I'm thinking of booking for the Wife's Birthday in Sept.

 

To the OP: As one who has stayed in a number of upscale B and B's, I'd go with Duppie's recommendation. I was just in New Hope two weekends ago. Several nice places to eat, sleep and be merry!

 

If you're not interested in New Hope due to the Bikes, may I suggest Cape May. It's only about 1/2 hour more than you want to travel and you have a ton of places to pick from since school isn't out for summer yet. Located just a few short steps from the Washington Street Pedestrian Mall, and close to all of the restaurants, so you never have to move the car! If this is cool with you, try looking-up the John F Craig House: www.johnfcraig.com . Barbara and her husband Chip are just wonderful and the house is open year-round for romantic get-aways! 1-877-544-0314.

People are pointing you in the right direction. Scads of B&B's in the New Hope area - north & south of New Hope on Rt 32 - some of which would overlook the Delaware River or the canal. There is one that is a couple miles south of New Hope, on 32, just north of where it crosses the canal. It is very close to one of our favorite restaurants in the area: Francisco's on the River (BYOB). If you are interested I'll get you the name and contact info - PM me. Might be tough to get a weekend reservation on short notice.

 

Adios,

 

Pizza Bob

That was easy. Here you go...

Thanks everyone.

 

Ive been to New Hope many times. I think she wants something a little more secluded and a lake is a must haha. Ill check these places out.

Tell her that since it's her birthday, you'll let her NOT bring you breakfast in bed just this once. Tell her that's your final offer, and that she should be damn grateful of it.

Thanks everyone.

OK...It's double your ideal drive time requirement and I have not stayed there myself but a good friend swears by the place. It's called Still Bay Resort in the Lake George region,It's secluded without being to far away from the Village and there's good restaurants,cafes,boat rentals,fishing and the mighty Adirondacks. Just a thought.

Why is a lake a must? I'm going to second the Cape May idea and suggest the Virginia Hotel which provides access to the beach as well as the pools at Congress Hall. The restaurant is amazing too (Ebbitt Room).

 

For something different, may I recommend The Bartlett House in Greenport, NY? Great b&b, short distance to Long Island wineries, near nice restaurants in town and short ferry ride to Shelter Island where you can rent bikes.

We drive 6 to Montreal just for dinner....It's really beautiful up there and great for wringing out a car or bike.

Better be a damned good dinner

Google Joe Beef,Au Pied de Cochon and Queue de Cheval and let me know what you think.... Have reservations for the wife's birthday at Joe Beef next month.

How are the people in Montreal? Ive heard all the rumors about them being snotty american haters but I'd love to go see a hockey game up there

They are actually really quite receptive to Americans and in the 18 years and scores of visits,I've yet to encounter any kind of "snottiness". The vibe is easygoing,bars, restaurants and accommodations are world class at 2/3rds of Manhattan prices, amazing night and gentleman's clubs,great markets, museums, it's easy to get around by Metro or Bixi rental bikes and the only French needed is" Bonjour and Merci".

If it wasn't for the winters and gun laws we would move there tomorrow,plus it helps that we're Montreal Canadians fans....

I highly recommend a weekend visit.

Bah! That explains it

Bah! That explains it

Maybe so but we only became hockey fans a couple years ago after scoring some free tickets from a fan we met at the hotel bar.

I was just joking around. I'm a Rangers fan. Had to throw it in there.

Not a big sporting fan myself but after only one match...I was hooked.

If you're serious about a lakeside B and B, Lake George IS the place. There are several right on the Lake itself.

 

Just a short ride (only one exit) up from Lake George is the Friend's Lake Inn. Look it up: www.friendslake.com . I've eaten there several times while staying near Gore Mountain. The Inn is in Chestertown NY in a more secluded spot off of the beaten path. Great food, cocktails and a Wine-Spectator Magazine rated wine cellar. Wine Bar downstairs. A real get-away-from-it-all place without a parking problem. Deffinately worth a look! I'm a "Foodie" and I LOVE this place!

 

Good luck with your search!

the only bed and breakfast ive been to was in maryland ,georgion plantation built in the 1980s the front of it has porches only accessible from the rooms great food around 225 with lunch and dinner. $39 for 100 sporting clays .I know this wasnt the area you were looking for but if you like shooting clays check it out schradersoutdoors.com the web sight doesnt do the place justice we try to go every year or so

Have run weekend clays events at schraeders before. Great for a Fall Weekend. In fact in the planing stages now as we rent the entire plantation house for the weekend. Back to the original subject..... Look up woodloch pines in the poconos, very nice place

http://www.colonialinnsmithville.com/ Stayed here for a wedding. Breakfast was coffee & muffins, but there is a great restaurant on the grounds. Maybe a 3 minute walk. The room I had was in had a whirlpool tub and was on a lake.
