About this property

The Tow Path House · Canal Views for 2 Couples

One of a pair of 1850s canal builders' homes right on the Delaware & Raritan Canal towpath, a few blocks from Main Street Lambertville. Made for two couples: a queen bedroom with room-darkening shades and a second bedroom with a full bed and its own screened porch. 1.5 baths, full kitchen, washer/dryer. Porch swing out front, fenced backyard, two parking spots. Sleeps 4, and the Canal House next door sleeps 4 more for bigger groups.

THE SPACE
- Main bedroom: queen with room-darkening shades
- Second bedroom: full bed, with a slider to the private screened porch overlooking the canal
- Living room: couch and TV
- Kitchen: full kitchen with dishwasher, dining nook with garden views
- Baths: full bath with glass shower upstairs, powder room downstairs
- Laundry: washer and dryer
- Outdoors: Start your morning on the front porch swing watching cyclists and kayakers pass along the canal, then wind down on the private screened porch off the second bedroom. Rear deck and fenced yard with garden.

GUEST ACCESS
This side of the house is all yours, including the front porch, the upstairs screened porch and the fenced backyard. Two parking spaces right out front.

GOOD TO KNOW
The stairs to the bedrooms are steep and may be hard for guests with limited mobility. Booking for a group of up to 8? Reserve both the Tow Path House and the Canal House next door, which sit side by side. A detailed house manual is sent before your stay.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD
You're right on the 70-mile Delaware & Raritan Canal towpath, one of the most scenic and storied waterways on the East Coast and a favorite of cyclists, walkers and kayakers. A few blocks to Main Street Lambertville's galleries, antique shops and restaurants, and a short walk across the bridge to New Hope.

GETTING AROUND
Everything in Lambertville is walkable, and New Hope is a short walk across the bridge. Trans-Bridge buses to NYC's Port Authority stop in Lambertville at 80 Park Ave.

The location was supreme. The property isn’t very toddler friendly but its access to all that lovely Lambertville offers made that completely bearable. We will definite be back next time we come to the area for a visit.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Canal Tow Path house in Lambertville. I loved the quiet, serenity and easy access to a great walking trail. The house was very well appointed and lovely. If you are considering this property, take the Host's cautionary words about the stairs seriously - they are steep with a turn at the top, so getting a large suitcase up to the bedrooms can be a little challenging for those traveling alone. The screened in porch is a pleasant bonus, as is the deck at the backyard. It's a lovely place, and I will likely return - my thanks to an excellent and thoughtful host!

Great little spot. Perfect location for enjoying Lambertville or New Hope! Each room has its own controlled temperature which was nice. The upper porch and back deck were fantastic for enjoying the outside sights and sounds. Already booked a return visit in 6 months! Two things would make it even better…tissues and in the kitchen, a whisk (for frothing milk for capuccinos)

Hello and thank you for the good review! Sorry the mattresses weren’t to your liking…. Most people rave about them. As the same goes. To each his own. Thanks for staying with us.

This house is cozy. We enjoyed the courtyard in back. The kitchen was very well equipped, including dishware, cooking pots and utensils, lots of options for making coffee, and basics like olive oil, salt and pepper. The location on the tow path is so pleasant, and the town is very walkable. The wifi and smart tvs were also appreciated amenities. The owner was easily available and very friendly.
