The Stockton Inn Hotel Review | Hotels Above Par

"Set in a building dating to 1710, I found the Stockton Inn to be a reborn haven for travelers seeking respite from modern sameness; once a beloved haunt for icons like F. Scott Fitzgerald and Jackie Kennedy and a Prohibition-era speakeasy for Philadelphia and New York elites, it’s even rumored that Margaret Mitchell drafted Gone With the Wind on the property. The inn embraces exposed stone and wood with European sensibilities—dark-stained millwork, glowing sconces, and custom wood detailing do much of the storytelling—while outdoor corners with fireplaces, stone pathways, a cascading waterfall, and intimate seating invite lingering. Inside, artwork from Winston Wächter Fine Art deepens the dialogue with the surrounding landscapes. With just nine guestrooms split between the historic inn and carriage houses, I found the property intimate and thoughtfully considered: king-size beds dressed in plush linens, complimentary snacks and drinks, softer airy rooms in the main inn versus a cozier, more rustic Carriage House. Amenities include bike rentals for exploring nearby trails, a tucked-away low-lit lounge for cocktails, and free wi‑fi; pricing is listed at $466 per night, and the dining options were so memorable I’m still dreaming about them as I write."
