In the heart of Bucks County, and less than two hours from the Great White Way, is a special place Oscar Hammerstein II called home... Highland Farm. Now beautifully restored as a Bed & Breakfast, Highland Farm is the perfect place for romantic getaways, special events, corporate retreats...or just a walk down a musical memory lane. Accommodations include newly renovated suites, bedrooms and bathrooms, and the grounds feature an in-ground pool, wraparound porches, and plenty of room for special occasions.
Let history inspire you in elegant surroundings. Relax on the wrap-around porch where Oscar Hammerstein II wrote lyrics for the great American musical, Oklahoma. Stroll through the library where Mr. Hammerstein worked at his standing desk. Play chess in the grand living room where he entertained artists such as James Michener, Richard Rogers, George Kaufman, Moss Hart, and Stephen Sondheim.

We were welcomed to this spectacular place by the lovely innkeeper, Christine who shared wonderful stories about this historic house. The spirit of Oscar Hammerstein, his family and friends fills the home and is a must stay for theatre history buffs or musical theatre lovers - we will certainly return!

HIghland Farm exceeded our expectations with Christine's warm hospitality & scrumptious breakfasts - we also enjoyed the artisinal cheeses with wine upon our arrival. we stay at quite a few B&B's in Bucks area, and this is definitely in our top 3 - Hammerstein's home is beautifuly restored, elegant, yet homey, and we love that it's so close to town - we can't wait to visit again, in the Fall -

Christine was so welcoming and thoughtful - literally, from the moment we called to enquire about booking at a very busy time of the year. She was solicitous (not scolding as some innkeepers are), concerning our late arrival, and helped us find the perfect spot to eat late at night. She was also terrific about our daughter's food allergies and planned her breakfast individually with her each day. The mattresses were the best we have ever encountered and we are still looking to purchase pillows as comfortable for our beds at home. The third floor bathroom was large, the bathrobes soft and the coffee strong. All this, being made to feel at home in Oscar Hammerstein II's home and waking up to a beautiful morning- for what more could one ask? Suffice it to say that our 18-year old told us she didn't want to leave, that should tell you what a wonderful experience staying at Highland Farm Bed & Breakfast was for our family.

4.0 out of 5Excellent Getaway
May 03, 2013
Spent a long weekend in Doylestown and Highland Farm was a great find. The rooms are lit with natural light - large and spacious and beautifully decorated w/tasteful simplicity allowing for the serene beauty of the house and grounds to take center stage.Quality soaps, towels and linens are an extra plus. Christine, the hostess, is extremely gracious and engaging allowing each guest to feel that their house is their own home away from home. Convenient stroll or short ride to lovely parks, town access and a short ride to the key tourist attractions in Lambertville and New Hope. Certainly one of the best discoveries I've made in my many trips to the Bucks County area!

A lovely home, well maintained. The King & I room was spectacular. I wish we'd gone when it was warmer so that we might take better advantage of the private porch from that room, and the swimming pool on site.

My daughter stayed there for two nights to prepare for her wedding at the Fonthill Castle. She was treated like a princess. The innkeeper, Christine Cole allowed us to use the whole mansion for pictures and treated us as if we were family. I couldn't thank her enough to show my appreciation for making my daughters wedding day a very special one!! I would highly recommend this b&b to anyone, whether it be for a wedding or just a getaway. Phenomenal place!!!!!
