Yearly summit of life-long friends

Every aspect of the Federal Twist House was exceptional! Starting with responsiveness with Molly, the host. Upon entry, you see that this house is full of character! There is ample space for 5 couples, beautiful rooms for convening as a group as well as lovely, cozy nooks for private conversations. Beautiful white bedding on all beds and sparkling bathrooms. The location of the house & the grounds is spectacular!Close to Lambertville, Stockton & Frenchtown. We were sad to leave and will come back again when The weather is warmer & the trees are in bloom!

Family Bachelorette Party

We had a wonderful time - we ate dinner at the house the first night and had breakfast there and ate dinner out the second night. It was very comfortable and plenty of space. Close enough to New Hope and Peddler's Village. Great house.

Beautiful old farm house with modern touches

First of all, this house is beautiful. The photos really don’t do it justice. The host was wonderful, and seems to have thought of everything— if you forgot to pack something, chances are it’s already in the kitchen or bathroom. Only notable drawback is that all of the spiral steps can be challenging for littles, and are definitely not ideal for ADA travelers. Great for a family reunion or large group of friends, or a wedding weekend. We really enjoyed our stay! Thanks!

Fantastic house and great location

What an amazing historic house with beautiful property in a vineyard. Quiet, close to everything you could want. We thoroughly enjoyed our time, I wish we were able to spend more time at the house, we were there for a wedding weekend and didn't even get to cook a meal in the well-stocked kitchen. I would stay there again in a minute!

Beautiful stay

We were 3 families with 6 kids (ages 2-8). There’s plenty of space for everyone and the house was well stocked. The yard is expansive and wonderful - the kids loved exploring. We would stay here again. A couple of call outs for littles (and I guess old folk too) the stairs are steep. My 2 year old navigated them just fine but made me nervous ;) also, the house isn’t very quiet because of the old, beautiful floor boards so bring those noise machines!

Great spot for a family gathering

We needed a space for two families with adult and teen children, and the Federal Twist house was perfect. The kitchen and bathrooms were updated and very functional, and the common areas were comfortable and conducive to family gatherings. The house is close to the towpath and some other hiking areas. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect Get-away

We, as well as our children (3 over 20 and 1 under 4) , really enjoyed staying at The Federal Twist. We all enjoyed watching the deer in the evening, the fox that graced the woods, and the animals (cow, burros) across the street really added to our enjoyment. It was the perfect accommodation. We all found it to be a beautiful place and one of the best that we have stayed in globally! Thank you for making this a perfect getaway for our family!
