We consider ourselves very lucky to call this special region home. When we lived in the city, we survived the concrete jungle by making day trips, and Princeton was always a welcome retreat from the madness! When we first laid eyes upon what is now the Inn at Glencairn, we knew we had found something unique.

Situated conveniently between Lawrenceville and Princeton, New Jersey, Inn at Glencairn offers the ideal location from which to visit nearby institutions such as Princeton University and The Lawrenceville School. Antique and shopping meccas Lambertville and New Hope are less than thirty minutes away. New York and Philadelphia are approximately one hour away by car and train.

Guests can easily take a train from either Philadelphia or Newark airport and either rent a car here, or tool around town using very reliable and easily available Lyft or Uber services! Check our our Blog post to read about our perfect Weekend in Princeton.
