Roebling Inn on the Delaware is a riverfront gem and an authentic 1870 landmark. Originally built by the Delaware Hudson Canal Company in 1870 and listed on the National Historic Register, it has gracefully retained its warmth and appeal. High ceilings classic woodwork, plaster walls, and solid construction date back to a bygone era of craftsmanship. We purchased the building in 1985 and created this bed and breakfast, keeping your privacy and comfort in mind. We are confident you will find it comfortably elegant and inviting, and a place for a good night's rest.
In the 1800's the Delaware was slowed by a slack-water dam, allowing barges to be pulled across by rope. But timber-rafters on the river had to shoot rapids over the dam, and accidents were frequent. The canal company eventually hired Judge Thomas Ridgway to pay damage claims, and the stately Greek Revival house where he lived and worked is now the Roebling Inn on the Delaware.
The inn, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is run by Donald and JoAnn Jahn, who greet guests with warm smiles and expert local knowledge. Upstairs, comfortable rooms overlook the river and downstairs a cozy parlor, dining nook await you to enjoy their comfort. Outside there is a sloping lawn to the pristine river, where beach chairs await summer. (NY Times).
