Great spot for a family gathering
We needed a space for two families with adult and teen children, and the Federal Twist house was perfect. The kitchen and bathrooms were updated and very functional, and the common areas were comfortable and conducive to family gatherings. The house is close to the towpath and some other hiking areas. We would definitely stay here again!

Thanksgiving with a Twist
The Federal Twist House is everything that is stated and more. The home is immaculate, beautifully appointed, with beautiful views, and a fully stocked kitchen for cooking and hosting others. Our family really enjoyed our 3 days over the Thanksgiving weekend with plenty of space and privacy for all. I would highly recommend a stay here and hope to return again. Ty Molly!

Perfect Get-away
We, as well as our children (3 over 20 and 1 under 4) , really enjoyed staying at The Federal Twist. We all enjoyed watching the deer in the evening, the fox that graced the woods, and the animals (cow, burros) across the street really added to our enjoyment. It was the perfect accommodation. We all found it to be a beautiful place and one of the best that we have stayed in globally! Thank you for making this a perfect getaway for our family!

Charming Home
We stayed several days over our wedding celebration weekend. The property was simply charming and had all the space and amenities needed for a family with children, general adults and older family members. We had a wonderful time staying and exploring the different parts of the home, patio and surrounding areas. Sadly, our weekend was cut short by a wedding night storm and major power outage, which in addition to the lights, air conditioning and the refrigerator, also eliminated the entire water supply to the home, including showers, toilets and faucets. It lasted from 9pm Saturday to an eventual 4pm the following day, so there was no possibility for our large group to stick it out with no restroom use. All of our food spoiled in the fridge overnight and our post wedding family brunch at the house was cancelled due to the lack of power and water/ spoiled food. The owner addressed the unexpected issue with grace and we were truly sad to have to vacate early. I believe a new generator has been installed since the incident (the small generator in place at the time failed, which was my only gripe-it should have been routinely tested and could have saved our wedding weekend), so hopefully our “story” will not be a repeat and everyone moving forward will get to enjoy the home as much as we did. Just a bit of bad luck and bad timing in our case. We would definitely consider an anniversary stay to “re-do” the weekend. Wonderful for large groups and get togethers. A memorable stay!

Fantastic House
This is the perfect house for a group getaway. The house is beautiful, spacious, and well equipped with everything you could need. Very close to New Hope and Lambertville and all of the shops and restaurants there. Eat at Nektar it is amazing! The tow path and trails along the river are great for hiking/walking. But even with all that, we found ourselves going back to the house and enjoying the gigantic back patio and the beautiful views. (FYI - There is a great wine store in Stockton, just 5 minutes down the road) Molly, the host, was super helpful with everything. She called to check on us when very bad storms came through. And the house's handy generator kicked right in when the power went out. Highly recommend a visit here. We are already talking about going back.

Fabulous stay in a beautiful and charming house. Our West Point cadet and his girlfriend were able to drive down Friday afternoon and stay with us both before and after the game, and our daughter and her boyfriend were able to do the same driving in from CT. Location was perfect, house was as described and wonderful, and the host was super responsive and helpful. We are already looking for an excuse to come back to this area and explore the charming nearby towns.

Beautiful home in great location!
This is a beautiful home on lots of land. We had a small gathering for my mothers 90th birthday. There was adequate room for everyone to spread out. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking supplies. It was nice the fridge had condiments also. The bedding was very comfortable. The vineyard next door was really nice. It was fun to walk over and listen to the bands. The wine was great too! We would absolutely return. Molly had great communication throughout our stay and left great information about a nearby walking bridge back across to PA.

Family Celebration During Covid
Our family has been very conservative during Covid, wanting to stay as safe as possible. However, we have a tradition of gathering in the spring to celebrate several family birthdays, including my husband’s. this year we picked The Federal Twist House and enjoyed it enormously. We had lovely spring weather which meant we were able to enjoy the patio which isn’t always possible in March, There was an infestation of lady bugs in two of the bedrooms which apparently happens every year. Be aware that that might happen in March, our granddaughters just slept downstairs, No worries,
