Venues & Event Spaces near Skillman, NJ

“These"B.est P.eople O.n E.arth", really are! Last weekend(like they do every year) they opened their doors to host close to 400 cyclists, for the Hell of Hunterdon gravel classic. This "hosting" is no mean feat! MANY THANKS TO ALL AT THE ELK!”

“Fun to see the animals and of course the lavender is sensational. The ladies inside are extremely nice and we met a man who works in the yard with the animals and he was very informative.”

“This was the best Birthday gift ever! My bestie and I attended goat yoga this morning! It was the best experience and so much fun! Maureen, her Son, and Tony the instructor were absolutely lovely!! The meditation & yoga were therapeutic. The animals were loving, welcoming, and gentle. The views and the farm are breathtaking!! Thank for a beautiful morning! We will be back.”

“My friends and I had a lot of fun throwing axes and we definitely lost track of time. When the guy who was working there realized we had a favorite type of ax, he gave us another one so we wouldn’t fight over it. We also had a lot of fun playing shuffle board and it was very clean.”

“Great course, One of the rare public courses in NJ to have a Grass Driving Range. Course is in excellent condition and Staff is great. Greens were just aerated, but no big deal.”

“It has a very nice driving range, putting greens and chipping area to learn or practice before heading out to a beautiful course. The staff is pretty awesome and attentive!”

“We came from out of town for a birthday party and it could not have been more perfect. Scenery, aesthetic, management, was all fabulous. Highly recommend for an event”

“What a fantastic hidden garden in the heart of campus! Beautiful trees and shrubs with plenty of annual color! The entire campus is lovely to stroll, but this is the ultimate destination”

“We booked a room block here for our wedding. The staff was incredibly kind and accommodating.
The rooms were clean and comfortable. The breakfast was also very nice.
Thank you to Benny for all of our help!”

“Absolutely beautiful venue for a cozy farm style wedding! Anne (owner) is amazing! She will help you make your special day/event perfect. Cannot express our gratitude enough, an absolutely perfect day! Thank you.”

“Larger than a typical hotel room. Had conveniences you're not always sure if you're going to get (i.e., fridge, coffee maker: keurig, plenty of lighting, extra bedding materials, large couch & chair, decent sized desk, large dresser & roomy closet with slider-sized mirror, plenty of space around the bathroom sink & good-sized bathroom mirror, hairdryer, iron & board, shower with tub, and luggage holder) and an exit from the room to the outdoors (in place of enclosed patio) but more awesome because it's an entry door that you can use your room key to unlock.

Probably the best thing about this hotel was the included breakfast buffet in the morning - wow. Delicious! The second best thing? The Red Berry Creme Brulee Cake from the C-Bar (restaurant/bar inside the hotel). I could eat 10 of those. Honestly.

Wish I brought my bathing suit so I could've tried out their indoor saltwater pool!

If you want to know about tiny (minor nitpicking) details that weren't perfect? Pen in room looked sticky, tub didn't have grippy texture (almost fell when I got out for a second and tried to get back in), couple stains in carpet outside my room, and front desk person didn't know if c-bar restaurant (inside hotel) had dessert on the menu when I called them from my room to ask. The person said I would have to go there to find out - it's right next to the reception desk (vs. 4 to 5 hallway walk for me). On the brighter side (for my belly and wallet), I didn't know about the Red Berry Creme Brulee Cake the first night cause I would've probably had 15 of them by now.

Rooms: The great parts:

The not-so-great parts:

- Pen in room looked sticky
- Tub didn't have grippy texture (almost fell when I got out for a second and tried to get back in)
- There are a couple stains in carpet outside my room
- Front desk person didn't know if c-bar restaurant (inside hotel) had dessert on the menu when I called them from my room to ask.

Safety: As the kind of person who is pretty vigilant about safety, I definitely felt more relaxed here compared to many other hotels I've visited. It's a couple miles out of the way (like 3 or 4 miles from shopping areas), in a largely grassy, campus-like area, and not on directly off a main road.

Food & drinks: Probably the best thing about this hotel was the included breakfast buffet in the morning - wow. Delicious! The second best thing? The Red Berry Creme Brulee Cake from the C-Bar (restaurant/bar inside the hotel). If you love Creme Brulee and the texture of Tiramisu, you will love this cake! Came with fresh strawberry slices, too!

Noteworthy details: The food alone makes this place worth it. I will probably be dreaming about the Red Berry Creme Brulee Cake for a few weeks.”

“The rooms were quite good. But the kids itchen was closed mid-afternoon on a Saturday. That doesn't work. Also, the smaller North Tower elevator smelled like 1960. Horrible.”

“Good location. Clean, quiet, pleasant. Front desk staff was kind, even returned a lunch box I left in the room without hassle. Only annoyance is Remote Key was not granted until I stopped by the front desk.”

“We spent three wonderful weeks at this hotel and would definitely book it again. The staff was very friendly, attentive, helpful, and left nothing to be desired. The hotel is very centrally located, just a few kilometers from Princeton. Plenty of parking is available. Fast, free Wi-Fi is available. The room was large, with separate living and sleeping areas, a refrigerator, a coffee maker, and a sink. It was also very clean, and the towels were fluffy. A large selection for the American breakfast was provided.”

“My boyfriend and I cannot thank you enough for your wonderful service every time we stay at your facility. About a week ago we both got food poisoned at a popular Princeton diner downtown and your front desk was able to help us get top notch accomodation and service, at the last unplanned minute. Also we would like to praise your breakfast staff for providing great food and service with a smile, every single time we stay at your hotel.”

“We stayed at the hotel for one night 2 days ago. The room is very spacious. The bathroom door and the room door opened and closed very poorly. Above us there was probably a family with small children who unfortunately made a lot of noise until 10 p.m. But the breakfast was great. Maria prepared us a great French toast with fresh fruit and there was a fresh yogurt bar with blueberries and strawberries. Our best breakfast on our trip to the USA.
The road has probably been rebuilt now. We had no problems getting there. The terrace is also very nice. There was free water and coffee and tea all day.”
