About Us
Our bed and breakfast in New Hope, the Jewel of Bucks County, PA
For 20 years, Lisa and Michael have been happily welcoming guests to their Bucks County Bed and Breakfast in New Hope, Pennsylvania.
Michael, originally from Hawaii, and Lisa from North New Jersey, met and lived in Europe for many years and traveled extensively internationally. However, when they first visited New Hope, the gem of exciting Bucks County, they knew this was a special river town filled with adventures, a great restaurant scene, art and theater, neighborly people, beautiful views, important American history and wonderful possibilities for the future.

New Hope History
A New Hope bed and breakfast for over 35 years, the Fox and Hound is a perfect vacation spot for folks from New York City, Philadelphia, New Jersey, Washington DC, Pennsylvania and beyond.
There are many fascinating stories that your innkeeper can share with you about our building and the colorful personalities of past residents.
The Fox and Hound property was run as a family farm since before the American Revolution and actually also had a part to play in some of the New Hope Revolutionary War action. On our 2 acres is the archeological remains of the original 1760's stone barn that housed American soldiers for 2 cold Winter weeks in 1776. These soldiers then crossed the Delaware on Christmas Eve night with George Washington to surprise the enemy in Trenton. Guests can visit this site on the Fox and Hound B&B property.
In modern times, our romantic and historic inn has had many proposals and engagements on balconies, patios, guest rooms and the gazebo. In 1923 Bernard McDonnell, a past owner, became New Hope's justice of the Peace and probably officiated wedding ceremonies on site. That's over 100 years of couples finding romance and happiness at the Fox and Hound manor's house.
Open year-round, the Fox and Hound is the perfect place for a romantic getaway, friend getaway, business meeting, retreats. We welcome business guests and vacationers eager to rest, relax and explore beautiful Bucks County.
