TOMS RIVER – The Huddy House Bed & Breakfast, the latest addition to innkeeper Vicki Weiss’s collection of historic accommodations, is now welcome guests. Known for her work at the Mathis House at 600 Main, Weiss-Ippolito has extended her passion for hospitality and historical preservation to this new property just down the block.
With final touches completed, including the paving of new parking spots, Weiss expects local inspections to wrap up soon. The inviting ambiance of the Huddy House makes it a perfect retreat for families looking to vacation together.
Couples and singles can easily immerse themselves in the historic property’s Victorian charm. It also offers a touch of home for those looking to get together for reunions or showers.
The Huddy House features four uniquely named bedrooms, each inspired by Weiss’s children. The Princess Isabella room boasts a king-sized bed, the King Peter Michael offers two full-sized beds, the Queen Nicole has a queen-sized bed, and the Lady Laura includes a full-sized bed.
Guests at the Huddy House Bed & Breakfast will enjoy the cozy, communal atmosphere typical of the most charming bed and breakfasts. Shared bathrooms are conveniently located on the second floor alongside the beautifully appointed bedrooms.
Assorted common areas at the Huddy House offer additional opportunities to sit and relax. These include a sunroom with views of manicured gardens and a cozy library and game room, perfect for quiet reading or friendly competition.
Many of the furnishings in the new bed and breakfast have been donated by members of the community. Each comes with a story of its own and adds a touch of local historical significance and visions of days past.
Weiss has become a prominent figure in the community for her efforts to preserve and share local history. The Huddy House, named after Joshua Huddy, a revered figure from the American Revolution, stands as a tribute to the area’s rich past. The home originally belonged to the Applegate and Irons families, with Garrett Irons famously running seven miles through cranberry bogs to warn Joshua Huddy of an impending British attack. Unfortunately, Huddy was eventually captured and executed at Sandy Hook, leaving a somber mark on the town’s history.
The Mathis House, located just steps away from the Huddy House, features five bedrooms and operates as one of New Jersey’s best tea rooms, offering regular dinners and a lively atmosphere. Guests at the Huddy House may want to schedule their visits to include a visit to the Mathis House for either a formal tea or dining experience.
Located at 801 Main Street, Toms River, the Huddy House is now accepting reservations. For more information or to book a stay, call 732-818-7580.
