What an absolutely lovely family long weekend gathering place! This rustic farmhouse was charming, comfortable, had a well-stocked kitchen, and a beautiful backyard where we spent a majority of our time. The donning room had a huge table where we gathered round for our dinners each night. There was a cozy game room where we gathered to chat one night before heading to our spacious bedrooms. We walked along the nearby trails each morning and had the added bonus of a new winery right down the road. We had no idea it was also owned by our Vrbo! Such a fun afternoon spent outside on the patio tasting our wine flight and wine slushees along with a charcuterie board. I could not recommend this place more. We didn’t even have to travel into New Hope for a good time. We could have enjoyed our stay right there at the beautiful farmhouse. However, New Hope was only 15 minutes away and well worth the visit. We took a private caboose ride on the New Hope Railway, strolled the charming shops, ate dinner on the water at the playhouse, and topped the day off with a ghost tour of the town. What a fun trip made so much better with our stay at The Federal Twist!!

Every aspect of the Federal Twist House was exceptional! Starting with responsiveness with Molly, the host. Upon entry, you see that this house is full of character! There is ample space for 5 couples, beautiful rooms for convening as a group as well as lovely, cozy nooks for private conversations. Beautiful white bedding on all beds and sparkling bathrooms. The location of the house & the grounds is spectacular!Close to Lambertville, Stockton & Frenchtown. We were sad to leave and will come back again when The weather is warmer & the trees are in bloom!

Beautiful old farm house with modern touches

First of all, this house is beautiful. The photos really don’t do it justice. The host was wonderful, and seems to have thought of everything— if you forgot to pack something, chances are it’s already in the kitchen or bathroom. Only notable drawback is that all of the spiral steps can be challenging for littles, and are definitely not ideal for ADA travelers. Great for a family reunion or large group of friends, or a wedding weekend. We really enjoyed our stay! Thanks!

Beautiful stay

We were 3 families with 6 kids (ages 2-8). There’s plenty of space for everyone and the house was well stocked. The yard is expansive and wonderful - the kids loved exploring. We would stay here again. A couple of call outs for littles (and I guess old folk too) the stairs are steep. My 2 year old navigated them just fine but made me nervous ;) also, the house isn’t very quiet because of the old, beautiful floor boards so bring those noise machines!
