Puzzles, puzzles, and more puzzles!

You may have noticed Lydia's penchant for puzzles during your last visit to the Inn.  She is an admitted puzzle "addict" and was fully immersed into the craze during the pandemic!  Her favorite spot to piece them together was the dining room table. During the slow days of the pandemic this was ideal until the random guest would show up!

After a few too many interruptions from the brave, infrequent guest and a need for the dining room table, Lydia finally treated herself to a really cool puzzle board (holding up to 1000 pieces and large enough for a 21" x 27" puzzle) that now sits in the Office.  Guests of all ages give her a hand on these puzzles while they visit, and she completes each one.

Flash forward to today: Lydia now has about 40 puzzles that she has completed and we are running out of shelf space at the Inn. 

PLEASE help us!!!!! 

Bring Lydia a new puzzle (that you have completed) and feel free to take one (or two) home from our office shelf. Forgot your puzzle, that's OK, just remember one the next time you visit. And, if you are a serious puzzle fanatic (or know one), Lydia is happy to share information on her puzzle board!

Princeton Hot Chocolate Crawl

The frenzy of the winter holiday season has screeched to a halt and many of us are looking for an excuse to get out again now that Omicron appears to be waning.

In an attempt to liven up a pretty quiet weekend, my ever-creative daughters suggested a Hot Chocolate crawl around town! Our day consisted of five stops at a variety of local establishments (no chains were allowed) and all stops were within easy walking distance of each other.

Looking for something new to do? Follow our Hot Chocolate crawl around Princeton or create your own crawl. We would love to help you brainstorm a day of adventure! Need ideas? Check out these stops on our crawl:

After your day of exploring come back to the Inn and enjoy a chat and a complimentary glass of wine in our cozy Parlor or Great Room.

The Princeton area has so much to offer during the winter months and local businesses need your help! Take advantage of our winter rates and plan your getaway now by giving us a call at visiting us online! Click HERE for reservations!
