Raritan Inn At Middle Valley

"I have nothing but Outstanding things to say about my stay at this quaint bed and breakfast! Brooke, the manager is an amazing host and person! She constantly checked in with me from booking til check in and even when I was lost on the way there. She made sure I was comfortable in all aspects of my visit which I very much appreciated. Everything was tidy, clean, warm and welcoming. It was such a beautiful area in general and the Inn fit the atmosphere perfectly. I honestly will be going back I loved it that much!!!"

"We chose this as our wedding venue following the pandemic in 2021. It was perfect for our micro wedding (only 50 people allowed for a gathering at the time). We met with Chris and did the walk thru and looked over the contract. Everything seemed so perfect! Leading up to our wedding date we had great communication with Chris and Ashley! Unfortunately for us, but really wonderful for them, they were on maternity leave during our wedding so our wedding event was taken over by a woman related to them, Mother In Law i believe, i can’t remember but i believe her name was Marcia. We had quite a few issues unfortunately with her. When we arrived at the venue the day of our wedding I went to check in with my bridal party who was staying at the Inn since we rented out the whole place with our contract. She refused to give my guests keys to their rooms “because they would get lost”. We are adults, we are not going to lose your room keys. I went up to my bridal suite to get changed into my dress and one of my husband’s friends was showing in my bathroom. He had a room of his own. I don’t know how he ended up in my room. Definitely awkward when I was half naked. Don’t think this would have happened if keys were provided and rooms were locked. Wedding starts, and the discussion we had about the officiant prior to this day we weren’t told that Marcia was actually the Officiant. Surprised the day of and normally this wouldn’t really matter except that we wished she would have dressed a little nicer. She had on leggings and a top. Part of our contract was use of the downstairs bar room for the Groomsman to get dressed and hangout. This is what sold my husband on using this venue when we did the walkthru with Chris. He was excited to use this room. It ended up being really hot out that day, in the 90s even tho it was originally forecasted in the 60s. Marcia kicked my bridal party out of the air conditioned bar area multiple times, including our one groomsman’s 9 month pregnant wife that was trying to escape the heat. She even dragged out my husbands cooler and put it outside. We paid for the block so we can use this area. They include a photographer, some flowers and a cake with the contract. Photographer was wonderful! We received a plain white cake that had no decoration on it. Didn’t expect a fully dressed cake but we were shown something that looked nice with pretty detailing and all and didn’t receive that. It was delicious tho! The catering company they suggested was amazing, Redwoods catering. And the staff was so nice! At the end when we were saying goodbye to our guests, and while guests were still present, Marcia started ripping my decorations off the tables in front of my guests! I thought this was extremely rude since I did the decor myself and it was all my stuff and in my contract it said i had until 11am the following day to take down any decorations I put up. They provided breakfast the next morning which was a delicious spread! So many options! Overall, we had a good day and it’s a beautiful venue. I just wish we could have had Chris and Ashley for our wedding."

"The Inn was so charming, warm & cozy! My husband did a fly fishing trip on the river and completed his trip right next to the B&B, how perfect! The staff was friendly, communicative and accommodating. The Inn was extremely clean and really made you feel like you went back in time! This was a much needed getaway escape that makes you feel like you went away for a week! Wonderful restaurants near by and quaint towns to explore. Staying here is a must!"

"We had a wonderful stay and hope to come back again. The inn and the rooms are very well appointed and welcoming, and the breakfast was one of the best I have had over the last several years. The owners have done a magnificent job restoring the home and have added many historic artifacts throughout the inn. I highly recommend staying at the Raritan Inn."

"We held our wedding at the Raritan Inn and we are SO glad we did! From the beginning of our search, Marcia was super helpful in answering questions, allowing us to tour the premises, and providing insight into any wedding issues that we had. We were able to use the Inn for the whole weekend, which made the rehearsal dinner and wedding so wonderfully connected. Our ceremony took place outside, next to a small river. It was about a 4 minute walk from away from the barn and tent. It was absolutely perfect. The tent had our reception seating, and the barn was reserved for dancing and drinks! Marcia even had beautiful, dark wood farm tables that we were able to use, as well as a bunch of leftover decorations that we could use. We were able to use the Inn to get ready in, which made it so nice for our friends and family. During our reception we even had a fire pit with s'mores that Marcia helped us light!! People are still telling us a month later about how amazing and beautiful the venue was. During our wedding weekend, the staff had breakfast prepared for us each morning. They even went above and beyond accommodating our vegan dietary choice. The Inn was super cozy and the rooms were beautiful! Everything was clean and prepped for us, and the staff at the Inn were super helpful with any questions or last minute things that came up! We would highly recommend having your wedding at this beautiful, unique location!!"
