Tricky

I guess it was truthfully described except that one bathroom and the kitchen are in the basement and the two bedrooms and one bathroom are on the third floor and the middle floor is just a living room, no TV, and a dining room table. So if you were relaxing in the middle floor, you have to go upstairs or downstairs to go to the bathroom or to get something to eat or drink and the stairs are narrow and winding and you gotta be careful. Also, the house is in the middle of nowhere. It’s 15 to 20 minutes to a grocery store. If you wanna be out in the country, fine. So I guess it was properly described just not what we were expecting. It was not for us and we left after two days.

Beautiful historical home!

Stayed just the weekend, this home is so neat, like stepping back in time but with all the modern day conveniences. It's just beautiful and located in the woods but very convenient to our activities (Delval) and to some cool, off the beaten path antique shops. The area is just gorgeous.

Thanksgiving 23

We were pleasantly surprised to discover our vintage home so perfectly appointed with modern conveniences, spotlessly cleaned in this old bucks county home. Our host was fantastic, and we highly recommend this home to others visiting the area. Great location for walks and close enough to shopping and restaurants. Perfect combo of historic and updated!

Delightful historic home in a gorgeous neighborhood

If you are a lover of historic homes, consider this lovely, well-maintained VRBO. It is located in a charming, verdant area, off the beaten track, but near to New Hope, Peddlers' Village and other fun places to visit. The home is furnished with taste and care and it was very comfortable for four people. The owners live in a house on the other side of the VRBO and they were very friendly & responsive; we got a requested second key within hours. As stated in the description, there are winding wooden steps down to the kitchen & up to the bedrooms from the main level that require care. We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay in this jewel of a home!

Very good

This home was awesome. Very cool place. The furniture is outdated and uncomfortable. They provided a poor over coffee pot which I was under the impression it was a normal every day Mr. coffee is what I would be using. However they did provide a Keurig But Tom and Jill were excellent host, and very welcoming and were right next door litteraly if we needed anything.

Lovely rural farmhouse

The house and location are beautiful! The host could not have been more helpful. It’s a great spot with lots of wonderful places nearby. We had a great stay! If twisty farmhouse stairs or windows that aren’t able to be opened are an issue for you though, this may not be the right house for you.

Lovely weekend!

What had been planned as a romantic weekend with my husband turned into a girls’ weekend with my two daughters (age 9 and 11) when our childcare plans fell through. But we were all delighted with the historical home, the charming details, and with our time in New Hope! I hope to make it back again with my husband—perhaps in the fall. Thank you for a lovely stay!
