6 Serene Towns in the Mid-Atlantic for a Weekend Retreat":

New Hope, Pennsylvania, sits adjacent to the Delaware River, so it is no surprise that its scenery is what often draws in visitors. However, its unique attractions, history, and abundance of things to do make it somewhere worth staying. A tour with the New Hope Historical Society transports visitors back in time, traversing through spots such as the 1784 Parry Mansion, the 20th-century Bucks County Playhouse, and more. There are also several historic and modern places to stay: the 1870 Wedgwood Inn, Carriage House of New Hope, and the Pineapple Hill Inn Bed & Breakfast. Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve is a nature enthusiast's dream, home to a botanical garden and museum dedicated to native plants. The Delaware Canal State Park perfectly marries the town's beauty and history, featuring an exploratory museum, a towpath, and, of course, the Delaware Canal.

Each of the three bedrooms in the boutique hotel has a full wall of windows and a balcony that overlooks the Delaware River.
