Summary
Dancer Farm is a 250 acre working farm with vineyards, nature trails, wildflower meadows and a fully restored 19th century farmhouse which is the Dancer Farm Bed and Breakfast Inn. The farm fronts on Archertown Road which was once part of an Indian trail to the Jersey Shore. In the 18th and 19th centuries, three separate homesteads were built and farms cultivated on the same land that the Dancer family divided into two horse farms in the 20th century. Vernon Dancer acquired the north side of the property with its original house, built in 1838, which is now the Inn, and his brother Stanley took possession of the south side. The name "Dancer" is legendary among standardbred horse owners and fans of harness racing. The Dancer brothers, both Vernon and Stanley, are in the Harness Racing Hall of Fame.
Preserving the feeling of "the homestead" was integral to the restoration of the farmhouse and its renovation into the Dancer Farm Bed and Breakfast Inn. The rustic appeal of the inn is balanced by the comforts of its modern amenities. Exquisite attention to detail and subtle design artistry combine to create an elegance with a "down home" appeal. Each guest room is an imaginative evocation of a special theme of the farm such as the wildflower meadows, vineyards and equestrian motifs.
Private baths with French massage tubs, fireplaces, private balconies with magnificent views of the farm, cable television, Internet access and a full country breakfast all serve to make guests' stays pleasurable and convenient. Recreational activities and programs have been coordinated for guests with offerings of destinations and pastimes dedicated to the arts and culture, sports, entertainment, ecology, dining, shopping and many more areas of interest and diversion.
The Inn's gardens feature a newly renovated and comfortably spacious screened gazebo, a perfect retreat for guests. Dancer Farm and its bed and breakfast inn offer guests a unique respite from the everyday world. Philadelphia, Princeton, Trenton, Atlantic City and the Jersey Shore are all within 1/2 hour to an hour of the Inn and New York City is just 70 minutes away.
We invite you to be our guest and to share in this special and wondrous haven where people, nature and land come together to inspire harmony and peace. On parting Dancer Farm, you will feel its magical aura beckoning you to return time and again.
