Best Family Christmas

This home was perfect for our family Christmas. We loved the river, space, privacy, and the fireplace. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything for a holiday meal. Joan was very attentive and helpful if we needed anything. She went out of her way to accommodate our family. We had the best time and wanted for nothing, super convenient.

Another 5-star review

A group of 11 adults stayed here together, all of whom now consider this place a cherished spot. Every room has thoughtful touches and beautifully arranged comforts. Wonderful views of the river, fantastic kitchen for group meals, and enough space for everyone. Joan as a host was next-level in her welcome communication and kindness. We felt completely able to focus on simply enjoying cozy, quiet time with our group without worrying about whether we had what we would need. The house feels personal and established, like staying at one’s own family home, with every need seemingly already considered and planned for in its offerings. It’s clear that Joan cares about this home and about guests having a good experience. The five star reviews from every past guest are well deserved.

Amazing house, fully stocked and beautiful!

This is was the best vacation house we have ever been in, bar none. It is almost unbelievable how well stocked it is, from the kitchen to the tool closet, etc. that’s all on top of a great layout with dual sided fireplace, amazing yard and private dock, and very clean conditions.

Wonderful experience in a beautiful setting.

Where to start about this wonderful property and an amazing vacation? Even weeks after I got back we still have beautiful memories and are swapping stories about this family vacation and will do for years to come. The practicals of course were all set up perfectly. Joan was amazingly communicative and check in was a breeze. The house is wonderful with plenty of space for even more people than we had for the week. Bucks County is always beautiful but being by the river was wonderful. We had a lot of rain the week before so the river was fast. Swimming only should be attempted by those who are strong and even so there's quite a current. We didn't use the canoes but enjoyed the bikes on the tow path, exploring the neighboring towns and swapping stories by the campfire in the garden. The main living area has room for plenty more with a large beautiful old wood dining table and an outside area that had us grilling every night and staying up late under the stars. We're already talking about going back next year.

Amazing!

We had 12 family members staying at this gorgeous home. Ages ranging from ages 2 to 70. Joan is a such a great host and the house was immaculate upon arriving and decorated beautifully! The kitchen is spacious and has everything you need. So many items are provided it made the shopping so much easier. This home offers such beautiful views of the river with multiple decks on the house and outside by the water. Bikes, kayaks, canoe, tubes, toys, firepit! You name it, this house has everything and them some! Thank you Joan!!!

Awesome Deleware River Home

This is our 2nd year staying at this home. It literally has everything..even an elevator ( great for bringing in luggage and supplies) Would be easier to say what it doesnt have that to list everything that’s there for you! ( even 2 sets of washer dryers ) Cant say enough about place or about hosts (Joan is a text away and soo accommodating). They home is as beautiful as the pictures. A great family home..if you decide to rent here you wont be disappointed and most likely you’ll return!

First Vacation with 3 Generations

I can’t say enough nice things about this house and about the owner, Joan. She is hands-down the most attentive and gracious host we have ever met. You can expect Joan to treat you like a neighbor. She’s wonderful. My MIL and FIL have limited mobility and this house allowed us to all be together, whether we were outside by the river or on any of the 4 floors in the house. The elevator was great! The proximity to Milford and Frenchtown made grocery shopping very convenient. I even walked from the house to Milford for a little exercise. The house is just gorgeous—Lovely decor inside, beautiful outdoor accommodations, tons of games, and everything you need from spices for cooking to netflix for movies. We even learned how to play croquet with the set in the garage. So fun! We definitely plan to stay here again! I would highly recommend.

Hidden Oasis

This house has it ALL. It is an absolute dream to stay at. While having easy access to the river from the back yard, you still had a full back yard to run and play in! It was a delight that each bedroom not only had its own bathroom but also balcony, almost as if each was its own bed and breakfast. Staying as a family of multiple married couples, children and young adults, there was always something for someone to be doing! Every part of the house is thought through, including the elevator from car port to any floor! There is so much pride taken in the design and care of this house and it shows in every aspect! Not far down the road was an ice cream shop, strawberry picking and an amazing bagel place! Truly as lovely as the pictures showed it!

Bucks county delight

Joan was exceptionally communicative. Provided great food insight to the area and what is available. The property is honestly more like a 10 star rental!! Our group has been using short term rental sites for years. Many of the places we have stayed have clearly been "used and abused" and amenities listed, although present, aren't functional. This property is NOT that!!!! Everything is high quality and better than described! This is the 8th year in a row 6-10 of us have traveled and used short term rentals and this property (and Joan the owner) have, HANDS DOWN BEEN THE BEST EXPERIENCE so far! We look forward to returning and can't say enough positive things about Joan and her listing!

This was a fantastic place to stay. The home is warm and well-appointed, clean, organized, comfortable bedding, and an elevator to transport you and your luggage. There is not anything more that Joan could have provided. Exquisite home, interior and exterior just as described, amazing views, and a wonderful location.

An unforgettable experience!

We had an amazing long weekend staying in this beautiful home for the double-header occasion of our wedding and our newborn’s baptism. We stayed here with our bridal party and had an incredible time. The house and property was so wonderful we only wish we didn’t have such a busy weekend so that we could spend more time relaxing by the fireplace, making s’mores at the fire pit, or kayaking on the Delaware. The backyard was the perfect place to take pre-wedding photos! Joan was an incredible host-the most communicative and thorough host we’ve ever had for a rental! If you’re thinking of booking this house, DO IT! You’re guaranteed to have a wonderful stay!

Rustic but Refined Retreat on the Delaware

Absolutely one of the nicest stays we have ever had. Our immediate family and several cousins gathered to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary. We wanted to have a quiet place to gather, but also adequate space to spread out a bit and beautiful scenery for everyone to visit and relax. Could not have found a better solution. The accommodations are first class in every regard. The nearby, walkable town of Milford is quaint and welcoming with all the necessary services easily available. Beautiful views of the Delaware River are visible from most central rooms of the home and the extensive grounds of the property. Our host, Joan, was by far the most welcoming we have ever experienced in our many years of travel. I felt that she was absolutely committed to our enjoying the stay in her home, and her informative communication was responsible for significantly increasing our ability to fully experience the surrounding attractions and activities. When traveling in the area again, we would 100% visit again. Thank you so much, Joan!

Perfect Stay

The house was perfect for a multi-generation family get together. The property had lovely places inside and out for all of us to gather and plenty of space for quiet time as well. We loved cooking together in the kitchen and on the grill. Kitchen was one of the best equipped one we have ever seen. Good knives, lots of dishes, glasses and silverware along with storage containers, pots and pans, cutting boards, kitchen towels and an array of spices and condiments. The deck by the river was a favorite place for watching the water and the people going by. We made good use of the kayaks and canoe. We also rode bikes along the canal path, took long walks, and hung out. The house has everything you might want to enjoy the outdoors. Inside we enjoyed the beautifully furnished living room , played cards around the dining room table and took advantage of a cool, rainy day to enjoy a fire in the living room fireplace. Joan even furnished dry, well seasoned wood! The beds were comfortable and there were lots of towels and hot water in all the bathrooms. Joan was the perfect host. Checking in to see if we needed anything and quick to respond to any questions we had. We highly recommend this beautiful house

Hidden Gem nestled on the Delaware River

We were fortunate to come across Joan's River House, a true gem nestled on the Delaware River. Our Family ranges from 8 years old - 82 years old, with all age groups in between. This home is well maintained and fully stocked with top of the line supplies, linens and gadgets. It includes everything a family or group may need to enjoy time together. Anyone who enjoys cooking, grilling outdoors and/or gathering around the kitchen would love the layout of this home. For those traveling with grandparents, every accommodation is available for both the active seasoned adults and those who prefer to watch the action for the deck above. All vantage points allow everyone to feel they are part of the activities on the river. The access to the Delaware River is private and direct. There's no need to pack tubes, kayaks and canoe into your car unless you're interested in traveling to other parts of the river. The home has ample space indoors for family gathering and private spaces for quite reading or winding down. Anyone who may need to work while on vacation will appreciate the strong WiFi throughout the entire home and property. No need to huddle around the router to get a good connection and multiple devices can be supported without any issue. The owner Joan is a pleasure to speak with and will make every effort to accommodate your group's needs. You will feel the peacefulness and warm embrace of this home the moment you enter the property. - The Andersens (NYC)

Best Family Vacation Ever!

Great Family vacation house! We took our son and daughter and spouses along with our 4 grandsons The home was beautiful and spacious. Never really had to leave other than to get food. The kids played in and by the river, swimming, tubing, fishing and kayaking. They played baseball and frisbee and tag in the backyard. Reading down on the deck by river was the best. Most mornings took a long bike ride along the canal path. Just a great family time making great memories.

Hands down best rental ever. Everything you could ever want or need. The house was beautiful and very well stocked. Tons of "Easter eggs" in the house including a herb garden on the porch, tons of wildlife splittings, board games, too many to name. The use of the tubes, canoes, and kayaks provided hours of entertainment. The host was very responsive and accommodating. I always said I would never rent the same house twice, but pretty sure we are breaking that rule. This house leaves no room for disappointment. 😊❤️☺️😉🤪😍🥰🥳
