A Main House Guide for Guests Who Want the Right Room

The Main House at Chimney Hill Estate has its own rhythm. It feels different from the Barn Suites, the Carriage Suite, or a standard hotel room. The Colonial Rooms sit inside the estate’s historic 5,500 square foot Colonial house, with common areas guests use to relax, work, read, gather, or settle in between Lambertville and New Hope plans.

This guide answers the practical booking questions people ask before choosing a room. Which room is on the first floor? Which rooms sit on the second floor? Which rooms require the third floor stairs? Which room has the private terrace? Which rooms suit a longer stay? Which rooms fit a short fall weekend when events, galleries, restaurants, and river walks fill the calendar?

Rooms 1 through 8 all work for two guests, one bedroom, one bed, and one bath. The difference sits in the floor, bed size, bath setup, room feel, and how much convenience or character matters to your stay. To review current rates, availability, photos, and booking details for every Main House room, use Chimney Hill Estate Rooms 1 through 8.

This room by room guide keeps the details honest. It does not invent views or promise a room feature unless Chimney Hill’s current pages support it. Use it to narrow your choice, then confirm the latest photos and availability before booking.

How the Main House Is Laid Out

The Main House room layout is simple once you look at it floor by floor. Room 6 is on the first floor. Rooms 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are on the second floor. Rooms 7 and 8 are on the third floor.

This matters because stairs shape the stay. Some guests want the easiest access possible. Some prefer a room higher in the house. Some enjoy the tucked away feeling of a third floor room. Others want a room that feels practical after a long dinner, a wedding event, or a full day walking Lambertville and New Hope.

The second floor holds the largest group of Colonial Rooms, which gives guests the most options. Room 1 and Room 5 both offer king beds. Room 3 offers a king bed, private terrace, and traditional tub. Room 4 offers a queen bed, Smart TV, stand up shower, and breakfast. Room 2 offers a queen bedroom with private bath access across from the bedroom and a lower listed starting price than the other Colonial Rooms.

The third floor has Room 7 and Room 8. Both are private queen rooms with walk in showers. These rooms suit guests comfortable with stairs and looking for a more tucked away Main House stay.

Room 6: The First Floor Option

Room 6 is the Main House room to consider first when floor access matters most. It sits on the first floor and includes a queen sleigh bed, Smart TV, stand shower, and breakfast. The room page also notes a private bath with walk in shower outside of the room, along with a gas fireplace, Wi Fi, mini fridge, Smart TV with Netflix, air conditioning, on site parking, hairdryer, and ironing board.

Room 6 suits guests who want the Colonial Room experience with less stair climbing. This matters for travelers who plan to move in and out of the house more often, guests carrying more luggage, or anyone who likes the ease of a first floor stay.

It also suits a quiet fall getaway. If the weekend includes Bucks County events, Lambertville October happenings, galleries, restaurants, and towpath walks, the first floor location gives the room a practical advantage at the end of the day.

Room 6 works best for guests who want comfort and convenience over a larger room feature like a private terrace. It feels straightforward, useful, and easy to understand.

Room 1: A Second Floor King Room

Room 1 sits on the second floor of the Colonial house and offers a king bed with a showered tub. It is a private room with access to the common areas throughout the house.

This room suits guests who want a king bed in the Main House without moving into a suite category. It works well for couples, solo travelers who want extra bed space, or guests coming for a wedding weekend who want a polished and comfortable room close to the main rhythm of the house.

Room 1 is a good fit for a slightly longer stay because the king bed adds comfort across more than one night. The second floor location also keeps the room close to the central group of Colonial Rooms, which suits couples traveling with friends or family staying nearby in the house.

If the booking question is simple comfort, Room 1 belongs high on the list. It does not have the private terrace detail found in Room 3, and it does not offer the first floor convenience of Room 6, but it gives guests a classic Main House stay with a king bed and easy access to the shared spaces.

Room 2: The Second Floor Budget Friendly Option

Room 2 is on the second floor and offers a queen bedroom with private bath access across from the room. The room page describes it as a private space for travelers on a budget.

This is the room for guests who want the Chimney Hill Estate experience but prefer to keep the room choice simple. It suits short stays, solo travelers, couples who expect to spend more time out in Lambertville and New Hope, or wedding guests who need a comfortable overnight room without extra features.

The honest detail is the bathroom setup. The private bath access is across from the queen bedroom, not described as inside the room. For many guests, that tradeoff is fine because the room still provides a private bedroom and private bathroom access. For others, an en suite setup might matter more.

Room 2 works best when value and location matter. You still stay in the Main House. You still get the estate setting. You still have access to common areas. You simply choose a more budget aware room within the Colonial Room collection.

Room 3: The Room With the Private Terrace

Room 3 is the standout for guests asking which Colonial Room has the balcony style feature. Chimney Hill’s room page describes Room 3 as a second floor room with a king bed, a private terrace, a traditional tub, Smart TV, and breakfast included.

This room suits guests who want the Main House stay to feel a little more special. The private terrace changes how the room works. It gives guests a place for a slower morning, a quiet pause before dinner, or a moment outside without leaving the room area.

Room 3 is also the strongest Main House answer for a longer stay. The king bed, private terrace, and traditional tub create more comfort across two nights or more. Guests who want to enjoy the estate instead of treating the room as a quick overnight stop should look closely at Room 3.

This room also works well for anniversaries, wedding guests, and couples building a fall weekend around local events. The private terrace gives the stay a detail that feels memorable without needing a full suite.

Room 4: A Simple Second Floor Queen Room

Room 4 sits on the second floor and offers a queen bed, Smart TV, stand up shower, and breakfast. Chimney Hill describes it as a unique and tranquil getaway.

This room suits guests who want a straightforward Colonial Room without the terrace, king bed, or third floor stairs. It gives the essentials in a clean way: private room, queen bed, private bathroom, stand up shower, and the Main House setting.

Room 4 works well for short fall stays, wedding weekends, and travelers who plan to spend much of the day in town. If the weekend includes Bucks County fall events, Lambertville October activities, dinner in New Hope, or walking along the canal, Room 4 gives you a comfortable place to return.

It also suits guests who do not need the largest bed or extra outdoor space. Choose Room 4 when you want the historic house, the estate atmosphere, and a simple second floor room that keeps the focus on the trip itself.

Room 5: A Second Floor King Room With Walk In Shower

Room 5 is on the second floor and offers a king bed with a private walk in shower. It is a private room in the Colonial house, with access to common areas throughout the property.

This room works well for guests who want the comfort of a king bed but prefer a walk in shower instead of a tub based setup. That makes Room 5 a strong choice for couples, longer weekend guests, and travelers who want comfort without the terrace feature of Room 3.

Room 5 also suits wedding stays. Guests attending a wedding often want enough space to get ready, sleep well, and return between events. A king bed and private walk in shower give the room a practical edge.

Compared with Room 1, Room 5 shares the second floor king room category but differs in bath feel. Compared with Room 3, it offers the king bed but not the private terrace. This makes Room 5 a strong middle choice for guests who want comfort first.

Room 7: A Third Floor Queen Room

Room 7 is one of the two third floor Colonial Rooms. It offers a queen bed and a walk in shower inside the room. The room page notes that guests should be comfortable with the third floor location.

This room suits guests who want a quieter, tucked away feeling in the Main House. Third floor rooms often feel more removed from the main movement of a house. For guests who like that sense of separation, Room 7 has appeal.

The honest detail is stairs. Room 7 works best for guests who do not mind walking up. If stairs are a concern, Room 6 or one of the second floor rooms will likely fit better.

Room 7 suits short stays, couples who pack lightly, and guests who value privacy over first floor access. It also works for wedding guests who plan to use the room mainly for sleep and quiet breaks between events.

Room 8: A Third Floor Queen Room With a Tucked Away Feel

Room 8 is also on the third floor of the Colonial house. Chimney Hill describes it as a private room with a queen bed and walk in shower. Its amenities include Wi Fi, mini fridge, Smart TV with Netflix, air conditioning, on site parking, hairdryer, ironing board, and bath products.

Room 8 suits guests who like the feeling of being upstairs and away from the main activity. It shares the same important practical note as Room 7: guests should be comfortable walking up stairs.

The room works well for a quiet overnight, a fall weekend, or a wedding guest who wants a private room in the Main House. It is not the room for someone who wants the easiest access or a terrace. It is the room for someone who wants privacy, simplicity, and the charm of staying high in the Colonial house.

Between Room 7 and Room 8, the best choice will come down to photos, availability, and personal preference. Both are third floor queen rooms with walk in showers.

Which Rooms Are on the Third Floor?

Rooms 7 and 8 are the third floor rooms. Both offer queen beds and walk in showers. Both suit guests who want privacy and do not mind stairs.

This detail matters because not every guest wants a third floor room. Some guests prefer easier access after a long day. Others like the separation. Third floor rooms often feel quieter because they sit above the main movement of the house.

Choose Room 7 or Room 8 if you want a tucked away stay and feel comfortable with stairs. Choose Room 6 if first floor access matters. Choose Rooms 1 through 5 if the second floor feels like the right middle ground.

Which Room Has the Balcony or Terrace?

Room 3 is the room to look at for the private terrace. Chimney Hill’s page describes Room 3 as a second floor room with a king bed, private terrace, traditional tub, Smart TV, and breakfast included.

This makes Room 3 one of the best choices for guests who want a more private outdoor moment without moving to the Barn Suites or Carriage Suite. The terrace gives the room extra personality and makes it especially strong for couples, anniversaries, and longer stays.

If the terrace is your priority, Room 3 is the clear Main House choice. If first floor access matters more, look at Room 6. If budget matters most, look at Room 2. If a king bed matters but the terrace is less important, compare Room 1 and Room 5.

Which Colonial Room Suits a Longer Stay?

For a longer stay inside the Main House, start with Room 3. The king bed, private terrace, and traditional tub create more reasons to enjoy the room itself. It is the room most likely to feel like part of the getaway rather than only a place to sleep.

Room 5 is another strong longer stay choice because it offers a king bed and private walk in shower. Room 1 also works well for guests who want a king bed and a second floor location.

Room 6 suits longer stays for guests who value first floor access. Room 2, Room 4, Room 7, and Room 8 work well for shorter stays, wedding weekends, and guests who plan to spend most of their time exploring the region.

The best longer stay choice depends on what comfort means to you. Outdoor space points to Room 3. King bed comfort points to Rooms 1, 3, and 5. First floor ease points to Room 6. Privacy and a tucked away feel point to Rooms 7 and 8.

How Fall Events Shape the Best Room Choice

Fall is one of the strongest seasons to stay in Lambertville and New Hope. Bucks County fills with fall festivals, apple picking, pumpkin picking, corn mazes, Halloween events, arts programming, and country drives. Visitors planning across the river can use Visit Bucks County’s fall events guide to see what is happening during the season.

Your room choice should match the way you plan to use the weekend. If you expect long days out, a simple queen room might be enough. If you want to spend more time on the property between events, choose a king room or Room 3 with the private terrace.

October in Lambertville also has its own event rhythm. LambPage’s October calendar lists events such as Porchfest, farmers market dates, live music, film events, walking tours, Halloween happenings, and local gatherings. For guests planning around town specific activity, review Lambertville October events near Chimney Hill Estate.

The room becomes more important during busy weekends. A quiet room helps after a full day. A first floor room helps after long walks. A private terrace helps when you want a pause before heading back into town.

How to Match the Room to the Guest

Choose Room 6 for first floor convenience. It suits guests who want easier access and a queen room with a practical layout.

Choose Room 1 for a second floor king bed with a classic Main House feel. It suits couples and guests who want more bed space.

Choose Room 2 for value. It suits budget aware travelers and guests comfortable with private bath access across from the bedroom.

Choose Room 3 for the private terrace, king bed, and longer stay comfort. It is the strongest Main House pick for guests who want the room to feel like part of the getaway.

Choose Room 4 for a simple second floor queen room with a stand up shower. It suits short stays and guests who plan to be out exploring.

Choose Room 5 for a second floor king bed with a private walk in shower. It suits couples, wedding guests, and travelers who want comfort without the terrace.

Choose Room 7 or Room 8 for a third floor queen room with a tucked away feel. Both suit guests who are comfortable with stairs and want privacy above the main house activity.

Why the Main House Works for a Fall Stay

The Main House works because it gives guests more than a room. It gives them the feeling of staying inside Chimney Hill Estate itself. Common areas add flexibility. Breakfast shapes the morning. The house keeps guests close to the property’s character.

For fall travel, that matters. You might spend the day at a Bucks County event, walk through Lambertville, cross into New Hope, browse galleries, visit a farmers market, or attend a wedding nearby. When the day ends, the Main House gives you a warm place to return.

The Colonial Rooms also suit different styles of travel. Some guests want a simple overnight. Some want a romantic room with a terrace. Some want a first floor option. Some want a third floor room away from the main movement of the house. The variety helps guests choose a stay that fits them instead of settling for a one size room.

The Main House Room Guide in One Place

Room 6 is the first floor choice. Rooms 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 sit on the second floor. Rooms 7 and 8 sit on the third floor. Room 3 has the private terrace. Rooms 1, 3, and 5 offer king beds. Rooms 2, 4, 6, 7, and 8 offer queen beds. Room 3 is the strongest longer stay choice because of the king bed, private terrace, and traditional tub.

This is the practical difference between the eight Colonial Rooms. The right choice depends on stairs, bed size, bath setup, outdoor space, budget, and how much time you plan to spend in the room.

For guests planning a fall getaway, wedding weekend, midweek escape, or October event stay near Lambertville and New Hope, the Main House offers a clear range of options. Choose the room that matches your pace, then let the house and the season do the rest.
