The RoseMary Inn — Hotel in Knowlton Township

PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO RENT FROM THIS PLACE! Upon arriving to this BNB I thought to myself it was a very beautiful place until you passed the front door and was face to face with the devil herself. The owner was rude straight off the bat. Being the Maid of Honor knowing we have a huge guest list coming into this place I did my job scoping the place to make sure everything was perfect for when the rest of our party arrived. I brought food for our guest staying in this BNB, which included 2-3 trays of food! Not much of a hassle if you ask me. So I asked the owner if she would mind us using the oven in the kitchen that was right behind our open bar area. In her response she gave a very upsetting face and said “ you can heat stuff up in the microwave.” I had a wrong upsetting vibe in my stomach because of that response, she knew we came with a 11 people in our party and booked all 5 rooms that the renters side offered. Which technically was the whole house you would think right? According to her we only had access to our rooms but not the amenities that her place apparently offers? Kinda misleading don’t you think!???In the pamphlet it offered a 24/7 open bar that offered coffee, tea and some little side snacks. The cookies she had on display were I guess made by her, but I remember when we came to see the place we were staying at (THIS PLACE) 7 months ago those same cookies were on display for the guest to eat. Hmmm, got me thinking those cookies so to say could be around a year old to say the least, that would be against code violation of that was true. My significant other actually ate one of those cookies and stated how dry her mouth was after consuming such a things, but that’s just a thought. Well anyway stepping forward into that day of May 28th, 2021 our guest started to arrive little by little. Most of the dinning room was set up with just a couple of decorations that I brought for a little family dinner the day before the wedding. Then the owner came back out to see what was going on and told me we weren’t allowed outside food in her BNB which I recall that stands for BED AND BREAKFAST. Doesn’t stand for dinner, which us 11 people would need to eat. She told us if we wanted to “rent that dining area we would need to be charged for the so called venue she was calling it. My significant other and I agreed to pay whatever the charge was just to get her off our back. Which the owner said would be $200. Just to use her dining room, kind pricy since we already had that whole side but I agreed and we came to an understanding. I asked her if she “would like us to pay right now,” but she insisted we will handle it later. Well that didn’t last long because the whole time she was coming in and out saying “your food looks gross.” We can’t do this, we couldn’t do that. Which was very disrespectful in my opinion. So now this is later in the night once everyone was there. My mother found a rob in the upstairs linen closet, on the renters side which we all thought would come with our stay since it was on our side of the house. The owner said “where did you get that” with my mothers response as “in the closet at the top of the stairs.” The lady answered back with such a response as “this is my house, you only have access to what is in your room.” My mom offered to take it off and apologized for taking it but that didn’t stop the lady from calling my mother a heavier set women and then proceeding to rip off the rob from my mothers body. She actually left a mark on my mothers chest from a nail mark. Moving forward, the night was coming to an end and I was cleaning up. We had an arrangement with the venue we were hosting the wedding at where we had an hour window to set up for the reception the next day. The majority of us left but a coupled stayed back to finish the cleaning. When we all returned the people who stayed back cleaning said “the lady came in and said she needed to clean up and set up for breakfast...

PART 2 Which they agreed and let her do what she had to. This was now around 11:30 when we returned and we needed to sign off on the marriage certificate, we were at the dining room table finishing up last minute things before going to sleep when all of a sudden all the lights started to shut off on us. We all look over and the owner shut everything off on us and said she “needs to get up early and make breakfast and everyone has to go to bed now.” I didn’t know we had a curfew in this place either. My mother was outside in the front smoking and my brother went out to go tell my mom what this lady did and in the process the owner ran over to the front door and close the door on my brother(the husband to be) . He actually fell to the floor because of how hard she slammed the door on his foot. The twin brother who was the officiant of the wedding had to call the cops because now this lady didn’t just assault my mother she assaulted my brother, the husband to be. We all made our reports and then the cops left. The next morning we all woke up at 5:00-5:30 to have breakfast. But, no that wasn’t the case. No food, no snacks, no anything which came with the purchase of the rooms. Then I went over to make a coffee and the 24/7 open bar had been cleared of all of its products. The k-cups were taken away and hide, the year old cookies, etc. the only thing there were teabags. We all agreed we will be finding breakfast somewhere else then. Soon all of us left the BNB at 8:30am to get to the venue for the wedding. Once the wedding was over we all returned to the BNB to be greeted with state troopers to escort us off her property. They told us to pack all our things. We all kindly packed our things and left peacefully. All she cares about is ranking herself a 5 star hotel. She doesn’t care about hospitality and making friends. SHE ONLY WANTS YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!! If that wasn’t the case she wouldn’t make a hassle out of us paying for the dining room which should of came with the rental fee, or she wouldn’t tell me earlier in the day that she caters and our food looks disgusting. I suggest you save your money because $300 a room for her service is asking to come out with a couple of bruises and rotten cookies. Sincerely, the...

If we could give The RoseMary Inn 10 stars, we would. We contacted the owners 6 months before our wedding asking if our date might be available. The response we received was professional, friendly, and courteous. We were invited to see the Inn and sample some of the foods. Our in-person experience was as good as we expected from the kind emails and phone call we had before our visit. We knew we had found the right place for us.

From that point forward our host and hostess maintained frequent and informative communications with us as we planned our menu, the ceremony, and the room selections for family members and friends.

On our arrival the day before the wedding, we were warmly greeted by the host and hostess, even with the two of them being incredibly busy with the preparations for our wedding. The wedding day was perfection. Everything that was handled by our hosts was flawless. They were the definition of caring and dedicated Inn owners. And if that already was not enough, the Inn hostess is an incredible chef. Even with my wife and I having experienced some of the best restaurants in the country, the quality of everything served - from the homemade yogurt in the morning to the multiple deserts at the end of the reception - was on par with some of these high caliber establishments. The Inn owners take great pride in their true farm to table approach, with their own gardens, herbal greenhouse, and even beehives for their own honey. Virtually every single edible thing at the Inn is made from scratch by the hostess. Impressive is putting it mildly.

We were a little confused by the recent negative reviews, as our experience - and apparently the experience from all the other reviewers - sound nothing like these reviews that all seem to be from the same day. We can only presume that anyone giving such negative reviews to a phenomenal place like this brought any problems they had with them. For us, our wedding at The RoseMary Inn was one of the finest experiences we’ve had.

We have no affiliation with the Inn or its owners. We are just very happy guests who plan to come back to this...
