I was truly impressed by the kindness and respect that Rafi and Iris showed their guests.

Whether you're staying here to attend a wedding at Jack's Barn, to ski in the winter, or simply as a gorgeous getaway, we welcome you with open arms.

As the mother of the bride, I am extremely disappointed with our experience at this venue…read more Many of the issues involved the on-site manager, Trisha, who was responsible for overseeing the property and wedding operations. Throughout the weekend, there was a lack of professionalism, communication, and urgency in addressing problems. The guest accommodations had no hot water, plumbing issues, and a toilet that would not flush. When concerns were brought to Trisha's attention, we were met with comments like, "Ugh, this is my life," rather than solutions. The bridal suite was equally disappointing. The water smelled strongly of sulfur, making the tub unusable for the bride and groom on their wedding night. The air conditioning was not working, and although Trisha was informed the night before, it was still not fixed the next morning. At 7:00 a.m. on the wedding day, I texted her to let her know it still wasn't working and received no response. This was a 90+ degree June day, and fifteen women were trying to get ready in the bridal suite without air conditioning. On the morning of her wedding, my daughter was told that dogs were not allowed in the bridal suite, despite us being told during our initial tour that dogs were welcome. After the ceremony, Trisha told the bride and groom that the groomsmen's belongings had been locked away and needed to be collected, pulling them away from their guests. She also told them it was "the worst wedding she had ever hosted," which is something no couple should ever hear on their wedding day. There was also an incident in which Trisha physically grabbed our wedding coordinator's arm, dug her nails into her, and pulled her toward the parking lot. To make matters worse, I discovered an unauthorized $264.84 room charge on my credit card. Most disappointing of all was the complete lack of accountability afterward. We spoke directly with one of the owners during the wedding weekend and were promised a follow-up call the next day. Despite multiple calls and messages from both my husband and me, we never received a response. My family has been in the hospitality industry for many years. We understand that problems can happen. What matters is how they are handled. Unfortunately, based on our experience, we cannot recommend this venue.

I had never heard of this venue, but upon hearing my best friend booked it for her wedding, I…read morecouldn't wait to see it in person on her special day. We arrived super early in the morning to start the process of getting ready. Once we arrived at the bridal suite the lights were off, and it was freezing cold inside. You would think that since they were expecting us they'd be prepared with the lights turned on and the bridal suite warm. We all wore our winter jackets the entire time leading up to the wedding because it felt colder inside the suite than it was outside. People were going to their cars and sitting in them for extra warmth. Apparently, the innkeeper didn't even know there was no heat. How do you not know what is going on?! They kept playing with the remote attempting to make it warmer, but it didn't work. She found a space heater, but it kept tripping the power constantly. The poor hair and makeup artists had to keep stopping because the lights and their appliances shut off, and we had to trip the electrical panel. I would say this happened a good 10-15 times throughout our time of getting ready, no exaggeration. On top of getting ready in an ice box, the breakfast and coffee we had in the bridal suite was extremely underwhelming. Also it wasn't set up, we had to ask for it. There were no utensils, we had to ask for that as well. And the coffee provided was a Keurig machine with no fresh milk, just little disposable single use room temperature creamers. It's a shame because the bridal suite was truly stunning, but more things went wrong than they did right while we were in there, and we couldn't wait to get out of there. I was so excited to check into my room to warm up. I don't know which was worse .. the ice box bridal suite or my 90° room that had a lady bug infestation. My room was scorching hot, too hot. I went to let the innkeeper know what was going on and she was quite frazzled. Literally nothing was going right for us and then this. Apparently, they came to clean out some of the ladybugs, but when I went back in there, there were still plenty so I went back to her and said something again. I understand ladybugs are good luck, but no one wants to sleep in a bug infested room. There was also no control to adjust the temperature in my room. I ended up having to hold the windows open with personal items because they wouldn't stay opened on their own. It was probably about 20° out and I had to leave the windows open all night in the middle of winter. This was also an issue with other guests who stayed on the property. According to other guests, it was either scorching hot with no temperature control options or freezing, no in between. They put space heaters in a ton of the rooms that also had no heat. For what those rooms cost, this was not ok at all. Also when we were sitting down at the table about to eat our salads, the wait staff came over and removed the paper QR codes on the tables. They weren't supposed to do that. I later found out the QR codes provided a link for all of the guests to share photos from the evening. Why would they remove something if they didn't know what it was? The place was really beautiful, but the amount of things that went wrong were unacceptable and extremely stressful for the bride. This should've been the best and most carefree day she had, but instead she was dealing with constant nonsense and chaos. Not worth the headache of having a wedding here and I would never return as an overnight guest. Beautiful property, terrible upkeep.

Occupancy is down…read moresignificantly during the pandemic right now but we felt like this made a stay here the perfect solution. Minimized exposure to others versus staying with family or certainly a hotel chain. The owner Marsha was clearly prepared with COVID precautions. The property is incredible with a beautiful stream on property, horse shoes, a pool table, etc. Lots to do in the area with hiking trails just a short distance down the road. Everything seems well thought out for making guests comfortable with snacks, coffee, sodas, cookies, available at all times. The house is quite large and with the barn also accessible, there's no issue finding a quiet spot for reading or even listening to music with a glass of wine using the Sonos music system (even available in the barn!). This would be perfect for a family to rent out the whole home. Going stir crazy due to pandemic concerns? This is a great way to change your view safely.

I attended a wedding this past weekend at the Raritan Inn and it was beautiful. My boyfriend was in…read morethe wedding party so I was in and out of the inn quite a bit leading up to the wedding and the next day. The décor is charming and everything is very clean. John had extra breakfast one morning so when we showed up to help clean up after the wedding he gladly offered us delicious breakfast and plenty of hot coffee. The wedding venue is a beautiful place if you are looking to have a rustic barn wedding. However it is a DIY place so be prepared to set everything up on your own and clean up the next day, unless of course you hire someone for that. :) The ceremony took place by the brook in the back, the dinner tables were set up under a tent in the field, dancing and the band were in the barn. It was really the PERFECT venue for the couple getting married.

This historic location was a rest and play stop for literary and theater New Yorkers in the 20s and 30s and probably beyond -- check out the famous signatures and notes in the albums in the main living room. The owners keep a handful of rescued farm animals (pot-bellied pigs, mini ponies, goats), and it is clear they are well cared for. It is a busy place for big wedding events now, and so we like to stay during the week. It is very relaxing to walk around the grounds. We saw a giant heron in the pond and deer strolling. There are so many nice places to sit outside with a bottle of wine and a book or snacks. Rooms are very unique and comfortable. You have a lot of different personalities to choose from: lofts, cabins, barn spaces, etc. Many have jacuzzis which can provide your evening entertainment, lol. We have not eaten in the restaurant because our top restaurant on earth is very close by, but when it was closed, Josh gave us great recommendations. And he made a lovely tofu scramble for breakfast as a special request. One sweet touch: despite checking the room, we left without my spouse's expensive phone charger. Housekeeping found it and ran after us before we could drive off without it. She did not have to do that. Always tip your housekeeping staff. The extended Covid months have been very hard on inns, restaurants, and event spaces, and it must be stressful for them as things come back to life when so many events have been postponed. It is wonderful to be back out again. We will return -- a lot.

Ideal, fine-dine in a bucolic setting…read more From the entrance along the graceful, scenic tree-lined driveway you'll know you're inn for a treat (pun intended!). The Barley Sheaf is very serious about pandemic precautions, so masks are in full effect, and they'll walk you to your socially-distanced table in a beautiful, outdoor gardening setting. The inn itself is an architectural delight, as well, so you are surrounded by beauty on all sides. Service was pleasant and forthcoming. I wouldn't say that this is the finest level of dining, of course, you're not expecting EMP in the middle of Bucks County, but this is a good attempt, and people are pleasant and quite dignified. The guests were all well attired and the crowd is polite and kind. Food is of the adventurous character, which I enjoy. A lot of different flavor combinations (they like to do salé and sucré), beautiful plating, interesting textures, and good cooking techniques. My favorites were the octopus appetizer (so buttery soft and tender, which is a rarity) and the pheasant special, which was a pleasant and apropos surprise in this outdoor, country setting. Finally, this is a BYOB restaurant with perfectly selected wine glasses, fine silverware, and other special touches such as a freshly starched linens, etc. which elevate the dining experience.

The owner was chatting with people in the dining room and went through a map and menus of nearby places to try out. Breakfast the next morning is community style where you may be sitting across another guest at your table. Breakfast was delicious and included in house prepared pound cake. They asked if we wanted the meat or vegetarian quiche ahead of time and since we couldnt decide we got both and split both haha. We came up during winter when there was still snow on the ground, and when we showed up it was rainy and dark, but in the light of day next morning we could see that the grounds were beautiful. We could see a wedding being hosted here.

We stayed in Room 10 which features a king size bed and a large soaking tub. The bed was comfortable, clean, and the bathroom was sizable. We always felt like there was a lot of space to unwind and relax when we were in our room. We were offered the Fall menu when we were there. On day 1 I had the apple crumble French toast (AMAZING) and I'm not even a big French toast guy. Your table has fresh orange juice, water, and coffee/tea when you come down and get seated. Loved this. On day 2 I had the traditional breakfast and enjoyed it thoroughly. The staff was friendly and accommodating - as expected from a well run B&B. We were on site for a small gathering of gamer friends and so I also tried some of their offerings in the small cafe. I tried Italian wedding soup for lunch and got several hot tea drinks. All excellent. They have a small "snack room" near the main entrance that has popcorn, and water, coffee maker, and other small amenities to make your stay more enjoyable. Overall, this was one of the most visitor-focused B&B we've had the pleasure of staying in. It sounds obvious to say that, but it his place really puts your money to work to make you enjoy your stay.

The suite was spotless and beautifully furnished and had a very comfortable king-size bed. We received a gracious and warm welcome from the host when we arrived. First, let me start from the outside going in. The street that the Inn is located is so quaint and charming, we weren't even inside yet, and I knew it was going to be wonderful. Diane and Chris were fantastic hosts, gave us tips on where to eat and things to do. The Inn has a fireplace in the common area along with coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. Our suite was a great size, and I was very impressed with how clean it was. The mattress was very comfortable, and so was the couch in the sitting room. The in room breakfast was perfect! Stocked juices in the mini fridge, fresh yogurt with honey and berries, and ready on our table were granola, fruits, scones, muffins, biscotti and the most delicious cakes. We did not get into our car at all as everything was less than a 10 min walk away. We did the train ride, a show at the opera house, Big Creek tasting room, Myst, Molly Maguires, and shopping.

We didn't have to hunt for parking, as they have designated spots for the bed and breakfast. Chris (one of the innkeepers) greeted us after we parked to offer assistance with luggage and show us to our room. We were staying in Serenity which was located on the third floor. The room was beautifully decorated and meticulously clean. A small table was already set with dishes for breakfast the next morning. Fresh baked goods, courtesy of Diane (the other innkeeper), as well as fresh fruit, homemade granola, and a refrigerator stocked with orange juice, apples juice, bottled water, creamers for coffee and yogurt were all provided for us to enjoy for breakfast at our convenience. Down in the main parlor there was also a side table set up with coffee, tea and hot cocoa. When housekeeping visited our room the next afternoon, everything was tidied up and the items we consumed were replenished. The room had a television with streaming ability. The location of Times House was perfect and we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. We did not have to visit our car again until our departure. My husband and I have already recommended Times House to several friends and plan to visit here again ourselves.
