“Pennsylvania’s Coolest House & Town”
A beautiful eclectic home !! Had a wonderful family girls trip celebrating my sister’s 65th birthday! This home was spacious with stunning views and accommodated all of our needs. We enjoyed that we were close enough to town and yet at the end of the day benefited from the privacy & uniqueness of this fabulous home , additionally, the goats were an added bonus to our fun . Lastly , David could not have been a better host !. Our needs were immediately addressed !! A++

Unforgettable weekend
Our stay couldn’t have better! The home was charming and just what you’d expect when in that area of historical PA. The goats were a delight as was the pool and hot tub. We especially enjoyed the campfire, and the peaceful, natural surroundings. We’d definitely return for another stay! David was a fantastic host-available for questions before and during our day.

A Very Rustic Fun Experience
Our family of 3 generations enjoyed The Mountain House. Although the house, hot tub and pool water were clean, we needed to remove a multitude of leaves from the pool daily.before swimming. The generator was a definite plus for summer storms as well as the plethora of towels, game room ( billiard table and pin pong) toys for children, and the goats which we enjoyed feeding. The only other drawbacks were the broken window blind wands in the bedroom and lack of garbage kitchen bags (glad we brought our own) and lack of an door garbage can for our long stay. . Perhaps having a house manager near by would aid in the upkeep of such items. David was a gracious host not only forthcoming in meeting a couple of our requests in a timely fashion, but always available to communicate with me for any questions I had prior to our arrival.. All in all, despite the rain we had a delightful vacation making memories.

Great Mountaun House retreat
We enjoyed the solitude and atmosphere of the mountain house. It was very clean and the pool was a pleasant treat. The gardens provide a nice respite from city life although the outdoor furniture could use some updating. A fun house with a very well outfitted kitchen and many comfortable spaces.

Fabulous house
This is a totally charming old house. We loved the differently colored bedrooms, the sunflower themes, and the spaciousness of the kitchen/dining/living area. Our group consisted of 6 senior women, and there were plenty of beds and bathrooms to accommodate us. The pool, hot tub and goats were an added bonus! I would totally recommend staying here.

Beautiful getaway!
We had a friends’ getaway long weekend here and loved it. The property is beautiful and we loved sitting outside by the pool with coffee and listening to the birds sing. The house is roomy and very homey and the beds were soooo comfortable. The location is perfect—-less than a ten minute drive to downtown New Hope with all its shops, restaurants, etc.., but the wooded property is private and quiet and definitely feels like you’re away from it all. We also loved the adorable goats, and fed them leaves and apples at every opportunity!

Lovely Stay
Everything was as described. Great communication made this an excellent stay. There are so many lovely spaces and the kitchen is very well appointed for cooking. Super close to New Hope but you still feel like you're in your own oasis. The goats were great, ate some hay, and made barely a peep in the morning.

A Family Christmas Get-Away
This well loved and lived in home made me and my family feel right at home. Comfortable, comforting and full of whimsical and charming details, this house feels like a retreat to a favorite home-away-from-home. The Christmas decorations that were put up for the season were perfect for making us all feel festive and welcomed.

Amenities Galore
Favorite hot tub experience. Awesome fireplace. Big refrigerator. Quiet! And there’s a giraffe in the backyard, trippin’ (lol!). The place could use a little TLC… easy & cheap to do: clear out guest closets, scale-down or redistribute the flatware to put less strain on the drawers, replace a burnt outlet in the hall bathroom, also hall bathroom where the hairdryer is stored, clean up the paint. Most expensive, flashing between roof & chimney as rain water was finding its way into the home sliding down to the hearth. Mid-expense, square ceiling patch in the living room.

Relaxing, spacious, and cozy
We were a group of 9 that stayed at the Mountain House for 1 night. We had a blast and were impressed by all of the space, how private the location felt, and how well-stocked the home was. Many people commented on how they would like to come back for a weekend or week to enjoy more that the property has to offer. Would certainly recommend to others!

Great house for a crowd!
There was a good amount of space for our large extended family. The house is quite well built so that kids could be in the game room and weren’t bothering adults in the living room with noise. There were lots of activities for the kids and tons of games for them to play with, the house is a little on the old side, but was very clean and comfortable. The owner was super responsive to all communication and even came to the house shortly after I had texted him about the AC in part of the house not working (it turned out it was just a couple of vents that were closed.). I would highly recommend this house.

Family Vacation
We all had a wonderful time. The house was great, very welcoming and very comfortable. Many things to do and places to eat nearby. On the top of the mountain the surroundings were perfect, serene and calming. The pool and hot tub were crystal clear and provided a perfect ending to long days. Dave was a great host; he addressed any issues we had immediately. Definitely a great choice for a large group or family. We would book again. Thank you!
