Dancer Farm is a 250 acre working farm with vineyards, nature trails,
wildflower meadows, training and boarding facilities for standardbred
racehorses and a fully restored 19th century farmhouse which is the Dancer
Farm Bed & Breakfast Inn.
The farm fronts on Archertown Road which was once part of an Indian
trail to the Jersey Shore.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, three separate homesteads were built and
farms cultivated on the same land that the Dancer family divided into two
horse farms in the 20th century.
Vernon Dancer acquired the north side of the property with its original
house, built in 1838, which is now the Inn, and his brother Stanley took
possession of the south side.
The name "Dancer" is legendary among standardbred horse owners
and fans of harness racing.
The Dancer brothers, both Vernon and Stanley, are in the Harness Racing
Hall of Fame.
Preserving the feeling of "the homestead" was integral to the
restoration of the farmhouse and its renovation into the Dancer Farm Bed
& Breakfast Inn.
The rustic appeal of the inn is balanced by the comforts of its modern
amenities.
Exquisite attention to detail and subtle design artistry combine to
create an elegance with a "down home" appeal.
Each guest room is an imaginative evocation of a special theme of the
farm such as the wildflower meadows, vineyards and equestrian motifs.
Private baths with French massage tubs, fireplaces, private balconies
with magnificent views of the farm, cable television, Internet access and a
full country breakfast all serve to make guests' stays pleasurable and
convenient.
Massage therapy by a licensed and certified therapist is available in
our massage center which also offers a boutique of related health products.
Recreational activities and programs have been coordinated for guests
with offerings of destinations and pastimes dedicated to the arts and
culture, sports, entertainment, ecology, dining, shopping and many more
areas of interest and diversion .
"The Walkabout at Laurita Vineyards", with its interpretive
nature trails, courses through miles of the property's meadows, woods and
wetlands, all part of central New Jersey's ecologically diverse coastal
plain.
"The Walkabout" is readily accessed through the Inn's gardens,
which also feature a newly renovated and comfortably spacious screened
gazebo, a perfect retreat for guests.
Dancer Farm and its bed and breakfast inn offer guests a unique respite
from the everyday world.
Philadelphia, Princeton, Trenton, Atlantic City and the Jersey Shore are
all within 1/2 hour to an hour of the Inn and New York City is just 70
minutes away.
We invite you to be our guest and to share in this special and wondrous
haven where people, nature and land come together to inspire harmony and
peace.
On parting Dancer Farm, you will feel its magical aura beckoning you to
return time and again.
