JoAnn and Donald Jahn, Innkeepers

Roebling Inn is on the National Historic Register and has been featured in "New York Magazine" and NY Daily News.

Welcome...
Roebling Inn offers graceful, private living in a classic Greek Revival mansion at the confluence of two pristine rivers--the Delaware and the Lackawaxen. Innkeepers Donald and JoAnn Jahn have created a more than ordinary B&B. We provide not only comfortable, tastefully appointed guest rooms along with a sumptuous breakfast, but genuine hospitality in the unique hamlet of Lackawaxen.

In a setting of striking rustic beauty, we are also your hosts and reference to an area unusually rich in historical significance, sightseeing, and activities: downhill skiing, hiking, horseback riding, antiquing, waterfalls, rafting and canoeing, as well as, fine local restaurants, theater and the arts. Stroll along Scenic Drive and you'll see the Zane Grey Museum, where he lived and wrote Riders of the Purple Sage. You'll also see Roebling's Delaware Aqueduct, our namesake and world's oldest wire cable suspension bridge (1848). It served as John Roebling's prototype for his later work, the Brooklyn Bridge.

Tennis courts, fly fishing instruction, bald eagle viewing in winter, and spectactular autumn foliage are just steps away. Hike or cross-country ski at Minisink Battleground Park, the site of a Revolutionary War battle. In the evening, sample one of the area's many wonderful restaurants. Sitting room with fireplace & books, and a porch with riverview are both popular in the evening. 


Guest Rooms

Queen and Twin Bed
Queen/twin bedded room with bay windows that offer a "peak" of the river. White plaster walls with cream and lace window dressings create a bright airy look. A floor painted cream with an antique Wilton rug compliments the comforters.

Queen Ground Floor
Ground floor queen with antique tub/shower is decorated with cream, tan, and navy. A chip-carved oak bed, crown molding, ceiling fan, and simple antiques.


Queen Riverviews with fireplaces
Two corner rooms face the river. Wake up to the morning sun and a view of the water, misty some days and sparkling like diamonds on others. High ceilings and nice woodwork, lace curtains, a fireplace, wallpaper and crown molding.

Two Double Beds
Popular with fishermen or friends sharing a room. Comfortable antique iron beds with quilts or puffy comforters. Facing the St. Mark's Lutheran church next door.

Guest Rooms

Cottage
Cottage offers bedroom with double bed, living room with fireplace, kitchen and bath. A rollaway will sleep a third person.

Breakfast
A first cup of coffee outside on the porch with the morning sun and the river’s sparkling shimmer is a nice way to start the day. A full breakfast will then be served to your individual table in the breakfast room. Don, a restauranteur by trade brings all his talent and expertise to the Inn. He started in the business when he was 12. (The menu from those days is framed on the wall!)


Breakfast Room
Breakfast (8-10am) is eggs & bacon, oatmeal, pancakes, omlettes and more.

Relax
Guests are welcome to melt away their cares by the Delaware River in our Adirondack chairs.

Fishing
Brook, brown and rainbow trout are stocked in the Lackawaxen several times a year.
