Experience the History

Chimney Hill Estate, an historic Lambertville, New Jersey inn, was built in 1820. The original two-story farmhouse was expanded in 1927. The grounds occupy the site very near to where George Washington surveyed the Delaware during the bitter winter of 1776.

The expansion was done to create a summer retreat for international attorney, Edgar Hunt. Hiring Margaret Spencer, one of MIT's first female architecture graduates, to design an addition featuring two stone wings, the inn's distinct elegance sets it apart with numerous gables and fireplaces, the verandahs overlook rolling hills and formal gardens. The house is accented with hand-stenciled trim, raised paneling and wide-plank floors. There are plenty of nooks and crannies throughout the home that reflect architectural elements from the 19th century.

Enjoy our Lovely Common Rooms

The rare Alpaca is a charming and valuable member of the Camelid family. Alpacas are prized for their luxurious and costly fiber, which breeders harvest by shearing once a year. An alpaca sweater or blanket is a cherished possession, frequently handed down from one generation to the next. Alpaca gestation period is 11 months. The baby is called a cria. Alpacas are a herd animal and a relative to the Andes Mountains of South America. Alpacas are very gentle, clean animals and make wonderful pets.

You can experience a bit of Alpaca farming firsthand with Chimney Hill Estate's Alpaca Getaway Package – perfect for a unique birthday gift or a great introduction for anyone who is considering getting pet alpacas.

Our Alpaca family consists of mothers and babies (Beatrix and Zsa-zsa), a companion gelded male (Magnum) and a protective llama (Paisley) who stands guard over the herd. The alpacas are a beige color standing about 5 feet tall or so with sweet but shy dispositions. Paisley the Llama stands about 6 1/2 feet tall and is bi-colored a deep brown and beige. She is very curious and always on the outlook for an intruder. Beware squirrels, geese and groundhogs: Paisley is on the job.

We are proud to introduce an new addition to our Chimney Hill Farm Alpaca Herd. A 14 pound baby boy named Hernando was born at 7:30 am on August 13, 2002. A baby Alpaca is called a "cria". Momma Beatrix is doing well and is very bonded with Hernando. Big sister Zsa-zsa, Uncle Magnum, and Llama Auntie Paisley have all nuzzled the baby and welcomed him.
