So, July snuck up on you. The calendar is open, the heat is on, and suddenly all you want is to disappear somewhere peaceful, pretty, and easy to get to. The good news? That place exists—and it is closer than you think.
Chimney Hill Estate in Lambertville is one of New Jersey’s best kept travel secrets, especially for spontaneous summer getaways. Whether you are escaping the city for a few days or building a quiet weekend into your road trip, this is the kind of spot that makes a last minute plan feel completely intentional.
Here is why we are the go to for July travelers who just want to breathe a little easier.
Easy to Get To, Hard to Leave
You do not need to hop a plane to feel like you have gone somewhere special. Chimney Hill is just a short drive from Philadelphia and New York, tucked into rolling greenery near the river towns of Lambertville and New Hope.
These towns are full of character—historic streets, riverside cafes, local art, and zero stress. According to Arthurious, Lambertville offers a rare blend of charm and discovery, making it the perfect setting for a no-rush summer weekend.
We Make It Simple to Book and Stay
At Chimney Hill, we believe last minute should not mean low quality. Our accommodations are ready when you are—clean, comfortable, and surrounded by natural beauty.
Whether you are coming alone, with a partner, or planning a quiet gathering with friends, we offer multiple room types and peaceful common areas for relaxing, reading, or doing absolutely nothing.
Check-ins are smooth, our team is responsive, and your weekend can be as full or as quiet as you want it to be. If you are the type who throws a few clothes in a bag and hits the road, we are already your kind of place.
More Than a Place to Sleep
What makes Chimney Hill special is the experience. We are not just a place to crash—we are part of the reason you came.
From cool shaded gardens to our wellness-centered Fire and Ice Experience, every corner is built for calm. Want to try a cold plunge or detox in a sauna? We have that. Want to sit under a tree and do nothing? Even better.
And if you want to explore, Explore Hunterdon NJ has a full list of art galleries, antique stores, and farm-to-table eats that will keep your day delightfully unplanned.
Spontaneity Meets Serenity
Here is the truth about last minute trips: they are usually the best ones. No pressure, no overthinking, just a chance to get away when your heart says go.
Chimney Hill Estate makes that feel seamless. You get the luxury of quiet, the charm of small towns, and the ease of a trip that fits perfectly into your real life.
