Welcome to our picturesque Bucks County inn nestled between the Delaware River and the Canal. This land was originally acquired in 1769 as part of the London company land grant. However, the original tavern, known as Waterman’s Inn, was not constructed until after Joseph Haney purchased the property in 1811. In 1832 the Pennsylvania Canal was opened as a means to transport materials, primarily coal, to Philadelphia and New York City. The new canal ran directly behind this property. Over the next hundred-plus years the tavern changed hands many times.

Finally in 1986 it was purchased by the Faure family who ran the restaurant and inn until 2019. In 2020 the Golden Pheasant Inn was reopened by the Thompson family who have a passion for protecting historic properties and land in the area. They also own the Black Bass Hotel and the Lumberville General Store which are located seven miles south on River Road.

We are committed to carrying on the tradition of welcoming hospitality, delicious French-inspired cuisine, great wines and warm, inviting lodging in this idyllic setting.
