You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Historic Country Estate with Fabulous Pool & Pool House!

Kings Manor is truly a piece of history with beginnings that pre-date the American Revolution but it's story is incomplete. After undergoing a revitalization in the recent years it's time for the next chapter and new memories to be made. Our vision and hope is that not only will the property provide comfort, enjoyment, and peace during your stay but perhaps will also illicit an appreciation of the ingenuity of years past. It may be cliché but they just don't make 'em like this anymore!

Whether you're visiting in the summer or the middle of winter this home has activities for all four seasons! Welcome Spring with blooming foliage poolside, spend all day swimming, sunbathing, and grilling in the Summer, take in the stunning fall foliage while gathered around a fire table in the Fall, or host a dinner party in the grand dining room in the Winter!

Your home away from home is on 13 acres of land to provide a serene country setting. The main house is a 1700's built stone farmhouse that has been modernized where needed while still maintaining it's charm from when it was built almost 300 years ago! Additionally, there's a 2 bedroom guest cottage and last but not least an amazing pool & pool house.

On the outside, you'll find plenty of room to roam with expansive green space, hardscaped patios, porches, in-ground pool, and pool house. Let the stress melt away while set up in a rocking chair on one of the numerous patios. You'll also find gas fire tables at the main house and on the pool patio with numerous Adirondack chairs. Finally, perhaps the best for last is the resort-like pool area. It's easy to spend an entire day lounging poolside, swimming, playing games in the open air pool house, or perhaps just reading a book.... The list goes on as there's something for everyone! Even after the sun sets there's still plenty to do at the pool house with two smart TV's, gas fireplace with comfy furniture, shuffleboard table, and super unique wine barrel arcade console table with hundreds of pre-loaded games! *** Please note the pool house is a 3 season building. It's open from sometime in March (exact date depends on weather) till sometime in early November (again, exact date depends on weather). It's designed to be open air with windows, front, back, and on the one end along with 4 ceiling fans. ***

A center hall entrance into the main stone house provides an elegant first impression with voluminous ceilings, ornate moldings, custom tile floor, and stylish pendant lighting.

Moving first to the main living area you'll find wide plank flooring, two smart TV's, pool table, foosball table, and plenty of seating for everyone to gather.

On the other side of the foyer is the kitchen and dining room. I'll begin by first describing the remarkable chef's kitchen. These aren't cabinets that can be bought from Home Depot! Everything in the kitchen is custom, handmade, and truly one of a kind! You'll have all you need in this fully stocked kitchen with a duel fuel range (gas stove and convection oven), dishwasher, wine/beverage fridge, oversized refrigerator, wall oven, and plenty of cookware, flatware, and serving pieces.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a grand dining room with ornate moldings, ornamental fireplace, stylish lighting, and a large table with seating for 12 along with two additional pub tables that each seat 2. This is a room that at least in my mind really embodies the opulence of the home along with how much emphasis there once was on a formal dining space. It truly is a remarkable room that must be seen in person to be appreciated.

Heading to the rear of the home off the center hall and also accessible from the living room is a chic mudroom with pendant lighting, Hex tile floor, washer/dryer, and a half bath.

Completing the first floor is the den which is accessed off the mudroom. Your eyes will almost certainly be drawn to the walk-in fireplace, exposed beam ceiling, and comfy furnishings. Whether you're looking to play games, conversate, or perhaps just simply relax this is the perfect spot to do it.

Above the den on the second floor is the first of 7 main house bedrooms. The wide plank floors continue through this space as well. This bedroom is outfitted with a queen bed, chest of drawers, and En Suite bath. The minimalist size bathroom packs a punch with quality design and finishes!

The remaining 6 bedrooms are accessed from the main staircase in the center hall and spread out between the 2nd and third floors. There's five bedrooms on the second floor and one "family suite" on the third floor. The aforementioned wide plank floors continue throughout these floors as well.

At the top of the main staircase off the upper hall is bedroom two which boasts a king bed, ornamental fireplace, chest of drawers, and comfy chair.

Moving further down the upper hall takes you next to what would be considered the master suite with king bed, ornamental fireplace, chaise lounge, make up vanity, and En Suite bath.

Moving to the southwest part of the 2nd floor you'll find two more bedrooms that are fairly similar to one another. Both with queen beds, dresser storage, additional seating and ornamental fireplaces.

The last bedroom on this level is a bright, fun, and cheery bunk room. This space is set up with a built-in twin over twin bunk AND a toddler bed. FYI, the toddler bed is NOT included in the sleep count of the home. Each bed has a reading light perfect for nighttime stories in bed. We hope this is a room children will enjoy and remember for years!

Completing the second floor is a hall bath with double bowl farm sink vanity, tiled walk-in shower, full size mirror, and plenty of lighting.

The last bedroom in the main house is up another set of steps on the third floor. This is a "family suite" with a king bed, twin over full bunk, and En Suite bath.

Finally, we have the detached 2 bedroom cottage. On the main level you'll find a living room, full kitchen, dining area, bedroom 1, and a full bath. The living room has a couch, chair, and smart TV, The kitchen is fully stocked with all essentials much like the main house kitchen. The first floor bedroom has a queen bed and nearby access to the full bathroom which has a stand up shower and a single vanity. Moving upstairs there's a quaint "tree nook" room that provides some really neat views of the property with windows that span the room. The second bedroom up here also has a queen bed with direct access to the second full bath which has a tub only with no shower.

*EXCESSIVE NOISE WILL ABSOLUTELY NOT BE TOLERATED.* There are noise detection devices on the property. We will not allow for neighbors to be disrupted at any time of day. Additionally, there are exterior security cameras in 4 locations. Back door of the main house, front door of the guest house, side door of the main house, and the pool house

Early check-ins, and late check-outs are extremely hard to accommodate due to cleaning and maintenance schedules. Please do not assume these can be accommodated. If you would like more time, please book accordingly. Thank you for understanding!

Perfect stay for family reunion
This was the perfect perfect place for our family reunion. We had family flying into Newark from all over the world and this was so easy to get to, and the perfect place to relax, catch up and have space! We utilized every space of the property and had ages from 3-70. Jeff was so accommodating and very much available when we needed to ask him questions, etc. highly recommend this as a place for a family gathering!

Amazing property!
We stayed at this property for my in-law’s 50th wedding anniversary celebration. There were 19 of us in the group - the youngest ones being 3 and 4. The house was spotless - so clean. The details in the home were absolutely beautiful. We spent much of the time in the pool which was perfect. We’ve stayed in several rental houses over the years and this home was the favorite. There is so much room we never felt like we were crammed. No one had to wait for a bathroom. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you need to fix meals. Walmart and Shop Rite grocery store are five minutes away which was perfect for last minute needs. The owner was very responsive and so friendly. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!

Amazing spot for large groups, fabulous pool!
We were looking for a large and comfortable house to gather for a reunion of college friends (+ their spouses and kids) coming in from around the country, and this place was absolutely perfect for us as a group of 12 adults and 6 kids. Every room was great and the place was immaculate and clean, there were so many thoughtful touches to the space and we had so much fun hanging out together at the house, cooking meals, and spending a ton of time in the pool. Jeff was incredibly responsive and helpful, he offered a long list of ideas for activities, and answered all of my questions about the space very quickly (what types of coffee makers? Keuring AND drip filter!) and also accommodated us having a slightly early check-in so a toddler could nap. Things to note - the back upstairs bedroom does have very steep stairs so isn't the best option for little kids (we had adults without kids take that room), and the 3rd floor master suite is absolutely amazing, but the landing on that floor is very low and my husband (6'1'') hit his head on the ceiling so that bedroom isn't the best for taller people. We would absolutely stay here again, thank you so much Jeff!

Family Gathering
Family and friends gathered at this amazing property to celebrate my mom's 92 birthday. It is our second time here, and I cannot recommend the property highly enough. The house is amazing and perfectly appointed. The fully stocked kitchen (appliances, dishes, pots, pans, glassware) is a huge bonus so all guests need to bring is food. Many VRBOs do not provide linens and towels, so having those items included is another huge plus. If you are looking for a place to stay in Hunterdon County, this is it.

My family is spread out from Montana to Virginia, and they all wanted to come to Jersey to visit our mom, who is 91 years young. Your home made this the most special holiday gathering we could have asked for, and we leave with many wonderful memories. We wanted for nothing as the house had everything we needed. One of the best VRBO experiences ever!

Amazing stay, lasting memories!
My dozen-odd friends and I stayed here for a long weekend with small children, babies, and a schmedium-size dog. In short, we had a wonderful stay and thoroughly utilized much of the property's features. We filled every bed in the house and all found things to enjoy in the indoor common areas. We cooked elaborate meals in the beautiful, well-stocked kitchen, and dined indoors and out. We had so much fun in the pool and played a series of games on the lawns. A very large supermarket was conveniently located a 5-min drive away, and the surrounding area is downright bucolic. We also enjoyed great weather during our stay. I wouldn't hesitate to book this property again.

Son Hart and Kristina’s Wedding at the Loft in Whitehouse Station, NJ
We are from Northern NJ but most of my wife’s family is from Michigan. We scheduled the rehearsal/“night before” dinner at the Ryland Inn and the wedding at the Loft a new wedding venue. Kings Manor is the perfect place to relax and enjoy - only about 15-20 minutes ride away from both venues… if you’re looking for a great place for family and friends … this is the place! The host Jeff met us on arrival-went over the place - which was beyond our expectations! The pool house, the 2 bedroom guest house, and the manor house was amazing. Both grilles are natural gas - pool deck and main house are natural gas - so no worries about propane. Pool house - game table, shuffle board table, bathroom, fridge and bar - perfect! Highly recommend this place… if we could rate more than 5 stars - we would make it 10 Stars!!! John and Kristin And accommodated our group to the max!

Group of Longtime Friends
Myself and a group of college friends gathered here to celebrate our 50th birthdays. The kitchen was spacious and well-stocked; the property gorgeous and well-maintained; and the entire historic home tastefully remodeled from top to bottom! Our host was immediately responsive to questions via text. The home offered us plenty of room to spread out. Lots of comfortable beds and bathrooms. The main common area could use more seating and lamps. The pool and pool house were a hit for us! We enjoyed the second kitchen/bar area, the comfy seating and the game tables. We had a private chef in one night, and, the next night, were greeted warmly at the Inn at Pittstown; some lovely local ladies even surprised us by paying for our drinks! The house has everything you need for a “staycation,” with a Walmart and supermarket up the street for supplies. There are limited attractions in the area: we walked around New Hope, PA, checked out Frenchtown, and considered tubing along the Delaware.

Perfect Family Gathering Spot
We had a great stay at the estate with our large extended family. The house accommodated our group very well and everyone loved the comfortable beds and the quality of the linens and towels! We had a lot of rain on our first day, but made the best of it and enjoyed hanging out in the house and pool house. We also enjoyed the winery just down the road! The pool area and pool house are really fabulous and made the perfect gathering space. It was also really nice to have the extra guest house for family members who needed a little more of their own space. Jeff was a great host. We would definitely rent again!

1000 Stars
This property is amazing! We booked in January for a family reunion weekend in June. It did not disappoint! This might have been the cleanest vacation rental we've ever booked. Our common thought was "how can they rent something so charming and beautiful?" Our family ranged in age from 1 to 77 and there was something for everyone. The pool was the perfect temp for evening swims and the teens loved the multiple TV's to connect and play video games. We had meals catered and there was plenty of space to set up chafing dishes (kitchen and pool house) and the multiple refrigerators ensured a constant supply of cold drinks and space to store leftovers. Jeff was the perfect host and even accommodated us a day early when our plans changed at the last moment. You will not regret renting this property! If I could rate it 10000 stars I would. My only, tiny, caveat is that the property is not ideal if you have mobility issues. I unexpectedly ended up on crutches for this stay. There are lots of steps and no bedroom on the first floor. The pool and pool house are a bit far for an older lady crutching around. No one should expect a house this old to accommodate mobility issues, but if that is a concern for you, this might not be the right place. In my case, it was TOTALLY worth the extra effort.

We love this place
Our stay at this exceptional property was beyond impressive. As a diverse group of family and friends, we cherished the home's balance of communal spaces and secluded retreats. The main house, with roots in the 1700s, flawlessly blends historical charm with modern comforts. Pool and foosball tables offered fantastic leisure while various living spaces ensured comfort for all. The pool and pool house were our preferred spots for afternoon and evening relaxation. Whether it was a shuffleboard match or a peaceful swim, they provided a perfect setting for enjoyment. The guest house was ideal for those preferring an early night, offering them a quiet retreat. In summary, this property uniquely combines history, luxury, and thoughtful design. It's the perfect backdrop for a memorable gathering.
