Spring Lake Inn

We stayed for one night in the lighthouse. comfortable place n cozy rooms. The Dining room is very stylish. Beach is walking distance. We liked it. The breakfast served was excellent, a lot of variety n great taste.
Its worth spending the money.

My wife and I got married in October and I wanted to find a great place for us to stay for the night of our wedding. The Spring Lake Inn did not disappoint! The place is a beautiful old house that’s been renovated. You can tell that the owners are proud of the place as they take impeccable care of it. The breakfast was tasty and the owner who was serving us was extremely welcoming and gifted a couple of beautiful mugs when he found out we had just gotten married.
We stayed in the Moonbeam room which was perfect for us and my wife loved the guest book that they had in the room showing past visitors comments about their experience. She added one of our own as well and we can’t wait to go back for our anniversary!

Love, love, love!!! Arlene is a gem:)! You really can’t go wrong here. The beach is literally 2 blocks away, there’s so many options for light shopping and dining within a 20 min driving distance. I find it to be very relaxing and comfortable here. I was in the Victoria Rose room-​Awesome:)! My room was spacious and equipped with a queen size bed, jacuzzi, fireplace. I stayed here for two nights and did not want to leave. I’m not sure how it is during the peak season but I came during the off season and I’ll definately return during the off season. Very peaceful, quiet, no crowds or lack of parking. The breakfast is homemade and delightful! Fresh fruit, pastries, coffee, tea and whatever they decide to whip up in the kitchen. The staff here are very accommodating and friendly. This place aims to please and the execution is right on target.

I was very much looking forward to staying here. I made a reservation for the weekend of a wedding. They called and left a message three days before my trip and told me they could not honor my reservation. They had a valid reason, but did not offer to comp anything. Disappointing.

This.. .. This is heaven. I know it’s an odd statement to say heaven when referring to Jersey Shore but I was convinced! Spring Lake, although located a mere handful of miles away from THE Jersey Shore, is actually heaven. What can I say?!
We stayed in the Turret room, second floor, corner room with a queen bed, couch, fireplace and bathroom with jacuzzi tub. The shower was over the tub itself and could’ve used a touch more of water pressure for my preference, also could’ve warmed up a little bit faster too but to be fair the house was established since 1888. And because it was established since 1888, I might opt to stay on the third floor in the future. I am a light sleeper and things that go creak in the mornings wake me up.
The inn is located a block away from the beach. There’s a boardwalk which was excellent for running. On our run, we saw tons of surfers but it doesn’t seem like there are any lifeguards around so swim and surf at your own risk. A couple blocks away is the lake itself, supposedly loaded with trout for the fishing (except during the March-​April timeframe). On the other side of the lake is downtown Spring Lake with cute little shops, restaurants and tons of real estate offices. We didn’t eat in Spring Lake though, we opted to drive to Ashbury Park, Bradley Beach and even Princeton an hour away for food (reviews to follow).
Now let’s talk breakfast at the inn. Breakfast is served between 830 and 1000 but coffee, tea and cereal are available for those early risers. Barbara and Andy usually have a fruit and pastry spread by the entrance to the dining room, which is a help yourself kind of set up. After you snack, they will serve the special hot breakfast of the day. First morning it was baked cheese omelet, second morning it was citrus infused french toast and sausages — both very delicious.
And the last best part? Jersey tomatoes!!! I never knew that such a tomato variety existed but they taste exactly like good ol’ Campbell’s tomato soup — sweet and yet tangy. This is what I imagine what tomatoes are suppose to taste like, like if my grandfather grew up in America he would have these planted in his backyard. I would take these tomatoes over heirloom tomatoes anytime!

The Spring Lake Inn is an independently-​owned oasis just an hour or so from Philadelphia. We were upgraded to the first floor suite (The Innkeeper’s Suite) which features a jacuzzi tub, three queen beds in separate areas of the suite, a sitting area with a wall-​mounted plasma tv, and a gas fireplace (the room was recently part of a HGTV Design Star episode). You could comfortably sleep a family of four in this room without feeling like you are living on top of one another. The shaded, wrap-​around porch of this grand Victorian building is the perfect place to relax with a book or bottle of wine while you watch the world go by. The B&B is a mere block from the non-​commercial boardwalk and beach. Breakfast is prepared daily (think crème brûlée french toast!) and served in the large dining room with coffee, tea, assorted fruit and breads. Owners, Barbara and Andy have been in the hospitality industry for over a decade and are adept at running a full-​time, year-​round B&B. Amenities like afternoon tea and cookies and a huge fridge stocked with beverages (payment is on the honor system so leave your dollar in the basket provided) are sure to make guests feel more at home. An innkeeper is on duty at all times and accessible by doorbell at the front desk after 8pm. The Spring Lake Inn also provides beach towels, chairs, and beach tags meaning that guests really don’t have to worry about a thing.

We came here for Memorial Day weekend and had a fantastic time. The Spring Lake Inn is beautiful and very well appointed. The front porch is perfect for relaxing. The dining room is cute and offers a breakfast in the morning. There is a wonderful selection of tea, which I enjoyed immensely. There is also a nice selection of fruit, pastries and cereals in the morning. Throughout the afternoon, lemonade, ice tea and a small dessert is offered. The iced tea was phenomenal. There were brownies when we there and they were fudgey and good. We stayed in the Lighthouse Room. It’s a King bed room and the bed was very comfortable. It felt like sleeping in a cloud. Behind the Inn, are outdoor showers for washing the sand off after a day at the beach and there are also a selection on beach chairs, so you don’t need to bring your own. The Inn is also only two blocks from the beach and they provide you with beach tags for your stay. This place was great and we definitely will be returning.

I was visiting from California and had heard about this place from a friend. I stayed there with my partner for several nights and thoroughly enjoyed my visit. The Inn itself is beautiful with each room having its own theme (one of the owners gave us a quick tour of rooms that weren’t occupied). The rooms are spacious and very comfortable with all the usual trimmings of a high end hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful and seemed to go out of their way to make us both very comfortable. A yummy breakfast was included and there always seemed to be snacks in the dining area. The location is stellar, only 1 block from the beach. Plus, there are quite a few great restaurants within walking distance so you don’t really need a car once you get there (plenty of off street parking). Overall, a perfect spot for a perfect visit to the Jersey Shore.
