This is an absolutely gorgeous house, with spacious common rooms looking out through many windows at a lovely garden. Lots of seating for people to gather in the garden as well. We had an absolutely lovely family gathering there this past weekend. And the host was incredibly responsive, helpful and kind. Easy access to the university and downtown. And my 10-year-old daughter had a wonderful time watching all the different birds that came to the birdfeeders in the garden.

This house was an absolute delight- warm and welcoming and had everything we needed! Hosts were responsive and had thought of everything- it was the best-equipped rental we ever stayed in! The back garden was lovely too! We are already crossing our fingers that it will be available for our next reunion:-)

Gorgeous Garden Cottage; Terrific Host

We loved our stay at the Princeton Garden Party Cottage! The cottage was gorgeous and clean and spacious enough to comfortably house our group of reunion-goers. And the host was amazing! Great communication and she even left us champagne and a note to enjoy our 20th. We'd happily return for our 25th (or 21st)!

Why they chose this property

After scrambling to find accommodations in other college towns when our children, nephews, and nieces graduated from college and when we return for our own reunions, we can appreciate how much it means to have a serene and comfortable place to stay that is convenient to campus for these happy, jam-packed occasions. While we don't usually rent out our home, we hope that its location, lovely gardens, and comfortable living space will enhance your enjoyment of what already promises to be a memorable celebration.
