Hancock House Inn

Type: historic_property | Status: published | Tier: standard | Fishiness: 4/5

Restored 1870s inn at the confluence of the East and West Branches of the Delaware River.

The Hancock House Inn is a restored 1870s Victorian inn perched on a bluff overlooking the confluence of the East and West Branches of the Delaware River. The inn features eight individually decorated rooms with period antiques, wide-plank floors, and views of the river valley. A full breakfast is served daily in the formal dining room. The wraparound veranda is the social hub — guests gather each evening to recount the day's fishing and watch the sunset over the confluence. Hancock itself is a small, authentic river town with a handful of diners, a hardware store, and the kind of unhurried pace that makes you forget about the city two hours south.
