City/town information
Milford
North of Frenchtown offering restaurants, shops, grocery and liquor store.
Home to the Black Bass Inn, the Lumberville General store and the famous Walking Bridge. Just 6 miles south of us, Lumberville makes an idyllic bike ride along the towpath. Passing through small villages, such as Point Pleasant, canal locks and aqueducts along the way. A casual snack or meal at the General store is always a good idea. For the more formal, a lunch on the terrace of the Black Bass with exception views of the river and bridge. Of course, one must walk the scenic Walking Bridge connecting PA to NJ for pedestrians & cyclists only.

Famous for its rocks that ring, this large boulder field is a relic from the Ice Age. The rocks, not indigenous to the area, were deposited here in Upper Black Eddy some 15,000 years ago. Ask to borrow a hammer so you can hear the rocks chime. Also great walking trails to the creek & water falls.

Finding us!
When approaching from River Road, you will turn onto Tinicum Creek Road. We are the second drive way on the right, #20. The driveway splits at the bottom, stay left, up the hill, around the sharp bend and make your way up the hill. You WILL NOT see the house from the road (that is the neighbor's house). Once you reach the top you will recognize the guesthouse. Park in the area to the left of the house.
