Nestled in the beautiful Skylands Region of New Jersey, the house now known as The Whistling Swan Inn, a Stanhope, New Jersey bed and breakfast, was built in 1905 by Justice of the Peace, Daniel Best, for his wife, Sarah. After passing through six families, this wonderful old house was restored to its turn-of-the-century Victorian splendor and converted to a bed and breakfast in 1985.
We have kept the flavor of a vintage family home from a friendly welcome and refreshments at arrival to a sumptuous breakfast in our dining room or on our pillared porch. Whatever the season, a myriad of activities awaits you in the Skylands…New Jersey’s best kept getaway secret!
Stroll in our Victorian garden or just relax on the veranda, reading the morning paper. Spend the afternoon enjoying the highlights of the Skylands Region; Waterloo Village, Lake Hopatcong, Morris Canal, Chester crafts, antiquing, horseback riding, hiking, and biking in the state parks. After a busy day, enjoy a quiet time… swing on the porch swing, take a nap in the side-yard hammock, or sit in our parlor and enjoy pleasant conversations with newfound friends.

First, have breakfast at The Whistling Swan Inn near Newton, Sparta, Lake Hopatcong, and Chester, NJ. Later, enjoy fine dining at one of the Skylands gourmet restaurants, some within walking distance of the Inn. Highlight your evening at a local entertainment spot, or simply take a stroll and enjoy the quiet. Once the evening is over, snuggle up with your special someone and enjoy a glass of sherry and homemade cookies on the veranda or next to a crackling fire in our cozy guest parlor. When ready to retire, sink into your queen-sized featherbed and fall asleep to a movie from our video library.
