The Wooden Duck Inn, now The Ampersand Inn, offers a charming and comfortable stay in Newton, New Jersey, with excellent amenities and nearby attractions.

Editor's Note: The Wooden Duck Inn is now The Ampersand Inn.

Need a getaway? There's one beautiful bed and breakfast tucked away in the Skylands that's a delight any time of year. Whether you want to enjoy spring wildflowers, a hot summer day by the pool, gorgeous fall foliage, or the serenity of a snowy winter weekend, the Wooden Duck Inn is calling your name.

The Wooden Duck Inn is nestled in the heart of a 10-acre estate in Newton, New Jersey, near High Point State Park and the Delaware Water Gap.

The main building is the Estate House, with seven roomy suites. The Carriage House, right across the courtyard, contains three rooms, including an accessible room for disabled visitors.

Whether you stay in the Carriage House or the Estate House, you'll have access to the den and living room. The living room has a gas fireplace, comfortable couches, and a breathtaking view from a big bay window.

The den features leather couches and a big screen TV. It's a great spot to catch a game or watch a movie; you can borrow a DVD from their collection.

The nearby snack station offers coffee, tea, soft drinks, and sweet treats.

Rooms in the Carriage House feature flat-screen TVs, private bathrooms, and free W-Fi. They're comfortable and cozy, and you'll feel right at home.

In the Estate House, each room comes with a private bath and fireplace, plus more space to unwind or to work. The largest rooms offer two-person soaking tubs.

When the weather allows for it, the backyard pool is an incredible place to enjoy a drink and float all your worries away.

The expansive property is worth exploring, but if you'd like to get out and about, head to High Point or the Water Gap, where endless trails await.

The Wooden Duck Inn is such a gem - we can't wait for our next trip!
