The Inn at Bowman’s Hill is a nationally acclaimed, AAA 4-Diamond romantic retreat - the only inn with the distinction in Bucks County. It’s also a member of Select Registry, Distinguished Inns of North America, an exclusive invitation-only group of elite properties, and is the recipient of a TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice Award.

The Inn is owned by Inga Jakobovich, a West Coast native who fell in love with the property after experiencing it as a guest on a trip to the East Coast.

"I was instantly taken with this inn the moment I stepped through the door, and when I learned it was for sale, I knew I had to buy it," said Jakobovich. "It felt like fate — everything aligned perfectly for me to bring my vision to life and create something truly special here.”

Since purchasing the property in 2024, she has made significant upgrades, enhancing its original charm and amenities.

“I am committed to maintaining the ambiance of refined comfort that first captured my heart," she said. "I’ve kept beloved features like the spa services, ensuite refreshments, and more. For me, this journey has been about enhancing, not replacing, what makes this place so special,” Jakobovich said.

Nestled on a private 5-acre estate next to the Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve, the property is a haven for bird watchers and nature lovers. For history buffs, the inn’s proximity to Washington Crossing Historic Park, where George Washington’s pivotal Delaware River crossing took place, offers an opportunity to explore one of the most significant moments of the American Revolution.

Guests of the inn enjoy luxurious suites with fireplaces and jacuzzi tubs, a private backyard swimming pool, a gourmet farm-to-table breakfast, and serene outdoor spaces.
