Beautiful historic property with recent updates. If you have mobility issues, might not be good as all bedrooms are upstairs and stairs could be challenging. Otherwise, this is an outstanding property and our stay was fantastic.

Great return trip!

My family gathered at this beautiful home for the second time. It was absolutely perfect! Great space to cook and eat together, comfortable sleeping arrangements, and plenty of space to be together without being on top of each other. Thanks so very much for another wonderful stay!

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!

Fantastic House

This is the perfect house for a group getaway. The house is beautiful, spacious, and well equipped with everything you could need. Very close to New Hope and Lambertville and all of the shops and restaurants there. Eat at Nektar it is amazing! The tow path and trails along the river are great for hiking/walking. But even with all that, we found ourselves going back to the house and enjoying the gigantic back patio and the beautiful views. (FYI - There is a great wine store in Stockton, just 5 minutes down the road) Molly, the host, was super helpful with everything. She called to check on us when very bad storms came through. And the house's handy generator kicked right in when the power went out. Highly recommend a visit here. We are already talking about going back.

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!

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!

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!

Charming Home

We stayed several days over our wedding celebration weekend. The property was simply charming and had all the space and amenities needed for a family with children, general adults and older family members. We had a wonderful time staying and exploring the different parts of the home, patio and surrounding areas. Sadly, our weekend was cut short by a wedding night storm and major power outage, which in addition to the lights, air conditioning and the refrigerator, also eliminated the entire water supply to the home, including showers, toilets and faucets. It lasted from 9pm Saturday to an eventual 4pm the following day, so there was no possibility for our large group to stick it out with no restroom use. All of our food spoiled in the fridge overnight and our post wedding family brunch at the house was cancelled due to the lack of power and water/ spoiled food. The owner addressed the unexpected issue with grace and we were truly sad to have to vacate early. I believe a new generator has been installed since the incident (the small generator in place at the time failed, which was my only gripe-it should have been routinely tested and could have saved our wedding weekend), so hopefully our “story” will not be a repeat and everyone moving forward will get to enjoy the home as much as we did. Just a bit of bad luck and bad timing in our case. We would definitely consider an anniversary stay to “re-do” the weekend. Wonderful for large groups and get togethers. A memorable stay!
