There’s something magical about spring in Lambertville. As the trees bud and flowers bloom, the historic town and countryside come alive with fresh energy and color. At Chimney Hill Estate, May is one of our favorite months—where cozy comfort meets the beauty of the great outdoors.
From our charming rooms to our lush grounds, everything about Chimney Hill is designed for peace, renewal, and reconnection. Here’s why May is the perfect time for a spring getaway.
1. Bloom Season in Full Swing
By May, Lambertville’s gardens and riverfront paths are fully awake. Our property bursts with lilacs, tulips, and greenery, making every corner a perfect spot to breathe deeply or take a morning stroll. Just a short walk away, you can also enjoy the Bucks County Playhouse Garden Bar, which opens for the season with floral cocktails and live music.
The nearby Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve is another must-visit. With over 700 native plant species, it’s a haven for wildflower lovers, photographers, and those seeking a quiet connection with nature.
2. Comfortable Weather for Exploring
May in Lambertville typically brings daytime highs in the 60s and 70s—ideal for exploring without the heat or humidity. Whether you’re walking along the canal path, visiting a nearby winery, or enjoying the quaint boutiques downtown, the fresh spring air adds to the experience.
Take advantage of this weather with a bike ride along the Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park, or spend your afternoons reading outside on one of our estate’s many porches.
3. Ideal for Romantic or Solo Escapes
Whether you’re visiting with a partner or escaping solo, Chimney Hill’s suites offer luxurious soaking tubs, fireplaces, and serene views. It’s the perfect backdrop to unplug, relax, and reconnect—with yourself or someone special.
Our rooms are individually designed for comfort and charm. The Barn Suite, for example, is a guest favorite with its private entrance and rustic-luxury appeal. Couples can also request romantic add-ons like rose petals or a chilled bottle of bubbly upon arrival.
4. Fewer Crowds, More Serenity
Before summer tourism kicks into full swing, May brings a quieter, more peaceful atmosphere. That means more privacy, less noise, and a deeper chance to recharge.
Local attractions are less crowded, too. Enjoy front-row tables at top restaurants, easy access to parking, and unhurried shopping. It’s the perfect time for those who seek serenity over hustle.
5. Seasonal Specials and Events
Our rooms book quickly this time of year—and for good reason. Many of our guests take advantage of midweek pricing or spring packages that allow them to enjoy extra perks like local wine, spa kits, or breakfast upgrades.
6. Rejuvenating Amenities and Natural Beauty
Chimney Hill itself offers plenty to enjoy without ever leaving the property. Sip morning coffee surrounded by birdsong and sunshine. Stroll through our gardens or take photos of the heritage stone barn. Our cozy common spaces—complete with books, games, and local snacks—invite slow, meaningful moments.
Bring your favorite seasonal reads and unwind in the gazebo, or simply lie back in one of our Adirondack chairs and soak in the sun.
7. Great Day Trips and Excursions
Lambertville is ideally located near some of the region’s best hidden gems. Spend a day in New Hope, PA, just across the bridge, where art galleries and live music fill the streets. Or venture slightly farther to explore wine tastings at Unionville Vineyards or Old York Cellars, both under 30 minutes away.
8. A Season of Reconnection
Most of all, May invites reconnection—with loved ones, nature, and yourself. Whether you’re hiking, shopping, dining, or simply pausing to breathe, there’s something soul-filling about spring at Chimney Hill.
Looking for a peaceful place to escape the noise and welcome the season? Plan your spring stay at Chimney Hill Estate and experience the magic of Lambertville in May.
