Summer bursts into our lives with noise and sunshine. There are vacations to plan,
holidays to host, and people to see. The days are long, the schedules are full, and before we know it, we’re crossing into September with tired feet and a full calendar.
But fall —
Fall offers something else entirely.
It’s the season that invites you to slow down. To put your phone down. To tuck yourself under a soft blanket. To listen to the sound of the wind through the trees and rediscover what it feels like to be unrushed.
This year, The Whistling Swan Inn welcomes you to experience fall not just as a season — but as a reset.
The Fall Reset Package
Available Sunday through Thursday | Sept 14 – Oct 30, 2025
Imagine this: You arrive at our quiet Victorian bed and breakfast in Stanhope, New Jersey. The leaves crunch underfoot. The air smells faintly of woodsmoke and cinnamon. You can help yourself to a mug of hot cider and a plate of just-baked scones — still warm, still fragrant.
You breathe in. You exhale.
This is your moment to pause.
When you book a two-night midweek stay, we’ll wrap your time here with thoughtful extras to help you truly unwind.
Included with your stay:
- Hot cider and fresh scones on arrival – to welcome you into a slower rhythm
- A fall picnic basket – with local apples, tea sandwiches, cheese, and jam — perfect for the porch or nearby park
- Board games, books, and reading nooks – to help you unplug without pressure
- Full breakfast each morning – lovingly prepared and served in our family dining
room, parlor or wrap around porch (weather permitting). - 10% off your two-night midweek stay
room, parlor or wrap around porch (weather permitting).Whether you’re booking a romantic midweek escape, a much-needed solo retreat, or a quiet celebration with a loved one, the Fall Reset package is our way of saying:
Come rest. You’ve earned it.
Things to Do in Sussex County This Fall
Fall in Northwest New Jersey is pure magic.
During your stay, take time to explore the nearby hiking trails of Allamuchy Mountain State Park, where leaves turn gold, crimson, and orange. Visit Waterloo Village, a beautifully restored 19th-century canal town right down the road. Or stroll through the shops and galleries of Chester, Hackettstown, or Andover, where you’ll find antiques, handmade gifts, and fall-scented treasures.
Feeling outdoorsy?
Take a scenic drive along Lake Hopatcong, stop at a local farm for apple picking or pumpkins, or visit a Sussex County vineyard for a wine tasting among the changing leaves.

Come Back to Yourself
The Whistling Swan Inn isn’t just a place to sleep — it’s a place to soften.
To breathe more deeply. To savor something warm from the oven. To sip tea without checking your email. To sit on the porch and notice how the leaves are beginning to fall. In a world that moves too fast, we’re offering a space that moves at your pace.
This fall, make time for yourself.
Give yourself the rest you need to feel ready for what’s next.
We’ll have the scones ready.
