    My husband Louis and I needed a weekend getaway for quite some time. We've been to weekend getaways in the past but this B&B by far surpasses all of them, combined! We truly had the most romantic and relaxing weekend. So much so that we will be coming back again in the summer! Linda and Rob welcome you with open arms and gentle hearts. Linda will even call you before you get there just to make sure you make it safely and to advise you on the local traffic conditions. A true blessing of a time. Thank you Linda and Rob for everything. A wonderful gift from God.


    Peaceful, beautiful getaway.

    My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at the Chestnut Hill on the Delaware. We were greeted with a merry note including all the guests names tagged on the banister~ours names included our anniversary. We were greeted by Linda and Rob (who happened to be going out to dinner w/ repeat guests of 25 years). In our room, there was a happy anniversary balloon, candy on the pillows. The room was very comfortable and super clean. Linda gave us a tour of the room. We enjoyed the breakfasts and the area around the inn. Both Rob and Linda were very knowledgable of the area. We took bike rides along the Delaware and explored the towns along the way. Lovely inn. I would highly recommend it.

    Grace and I packed our bags, mounted our bikes on the trunk of the Lesabre and off we went from Bayonne, in the rain. Leave it to say, we left our worries behind and enjoyed the warmth and friendliness of the "home-away-from-home" resort. As soon as we met Linda and Ron we received a warm welcome from them and reviewed the past year with them (as we were guests the year before). The room was fantastic and the food was to our liking and request. The service was superb and the grounds of the Chestnut Hill Inn were abundant with flowers and other living fauna. The Inn has a dock which Rob and Linda constantly work on for the guests comfort. Rob enjoys taking the guests on the river in his pontoon boat and, with Linda's assistance, points out the various birds and landmarks. We enjoyed sitting on the dock and the porch of the Inn, experiencing the sounds of the river and the surrounding songs of nature itself. Inside the Inn, we viewed all of Linda's photographs, which she has on the walls and also in some journals. As a special treat, we pondered over the 100th year anniversary book of Milford, which Linda had labored over for the past year. She had interviewed shop owners and took fantastic photos of them. She is a very talented organizer when it comes to publishing a documentary of History. Speaking of History, Rob showed us some souverniers he had come across on the river's banks. Arrowheads, old apothocary bottles from and old hospital next door to the Inn ( which is the other building of the Inn), and other finds from the town of Milford. Grace and I are looking forward to our next visit to CHI. We had arrived just after all the rain over the weekend and we experienced a different phase of the river, as it was runing fast and the current strong from the upstream waters filling the arteries. It was exciting and enjoyable to witness. I would strongly suggest this B&B to all enthusiastic B&B enthusiasts.
