The Raritan Inn at Middle Valley
The Raritan Inn opened in June 2006 as an upscale bed and breakfast in Califon, New Jersey. We are located on twenty-four acres on the banks of the South Branch of the Raritan River. The Inn has five guest rooms, each with private bath and spa shower, satellite TV, wireless high-speed internet and a fireplace.
The Inn is consciously committed to an "eco-friendly" experience. Our objective is to minimize energy consumption while generating power from natural sources. In fact, the innkeeper's cottage is a Civil War vintage house that operates as a residential power plant.
The Raritan Inn provides a full breakfast each morning, served in our dining room at individual tables or on the stone patio with the relaxing sounds of a gently burbling stream in the background.
The Raritan Inn is located in the area of Northwest New Jersey once known as the “German Valley.” It is noted for its fine restaurants, many antique shops, historic towns, outdoor recreation, and local theaters.
