Everyone agrees that this was the best venue for our annual gathering.
We rented the entire building for our annual family gathering on Thanksgiving Friday. With 35 guests for dinner we utilized the commercial kitchen for heating the food and serving buffet style.

The Quaker Meetinghouse in Burlington is far more than a place to stay. Our host, Dee, was welcoming, kind, loving, and joyful.

Definitely check this place out if you need accommodations for a group event
I stayed here as part of an event with a large group of people. First, you need to know the facility was sparklingly clean. Cleaner than any hotel I’ve ever stayed in. The sleeping spaces and bathrooms are hostel-style, but there is elbow room. The bathrooms are clean and well organized and equipped to work… Continue reading Definitely check this place out if you need accommodations for a group event
I wish we could have stayed for four nights!
By Daniel A. Okrent — We had a large group of people (mostly adults, some children) who were on a paddling trip on the Delaware River. This was the last night of our 8-day trip. I wish we could have stayed for four nights! The place is immaculate–cleaner than most private homes–and air conditioned throughout.… Continue reading I wish we could have stayed for four nights!
