Skylands Manor featured by NJ Monthly Magazine

Skylands Manor is well-known and cherished by New Jerseyans as one of Frungillo Caterers’ unique wedding and special events venues.   Did you know that it is also a one-of-a-kind Bed-and-Breakfast?

Located in the heart of the New Jersey Botanical Gardens in Ringwood State Park, Skylands Manor offers 44 stately guest rooms that reflect a time gone by and have been recently restored to include modern amenities.  There are endless things to do year-round, and in the summertime the gardens, woodlands and surrounding towns are in full bloom.

Skylands Manor is a local treasure and was recently voted as number one of “5 Romantic Weekend Escapes” by NJ Monthly Magazine. When you arrive, you may be greeted by concierge extraordinaire Laurel.  I recently spoke with Laurel about how she expertly guides our first-time and returning guests to have a fabulous stay at Skylands Manor. Here is our “top 10 things to do” list for the summertime:

1. Book your getaway for rest and relaxation by staying overnight in one of Skylands Manor’s elegant guest rooms (staycation!).
