About this property

Located in the heart of Historic Chester County, few locations in the United States offer so many things to see and do. Some of the loveliest creations of man or nature are nearby. The cottage is on a 70 acre country estate (circa. 1797) with fields & trails, surrounded by over 2000 acres of private land. An Indian tribe once lived on the property with lingering evidence where they chipped their flint tools and arrowheads. Nearby is gourmet dining, tennis and historic sites within walking or bicycle distance. In the late 1990s, Chester County was listed as one of the top ten counties in which to live, owing to its beauty, historic significance and the general sophistication of its inhabitants. Horse-carriages and hot air balloons are just a few of the common sights. The Cottage is located on a private lane, just off a quiet, picturesque country road that is a favorite of bicyclists, joggers and equestrians. The farm, its history and surroundings were the subject of Edwin A. Peeples’ Walden-like memoir PLANTING AN INHERITANCE, LIFE ON A PENNSYLVANIA FARM

Gorgeous property, adorable cottage!

My husband and I loved staying here! The property was beautiful. We hiked on the adjoining trails, and our 2 dogs were excited to be there. Open fields and streams are their favorites! The cottage was cute, clean, and comfortable. We had a wonderful weekend visiting with our grandchildren and family. Thank you, Chris!

Needs TLC and professional cleaning

The cottage was not clean and we suspect the sheets were not changed. We bought an inexpensive set and put them on the bed. We strongly suggest that the host use a professional cleaning service, Merry Maids?Some lights didn’t work, host tried to fix, but poor result. Fireplace in sun room was set on low and could be turned high but there was a strong smell of gas so to be safe we turned it off. Cabinets in the bathroom need to be fixed, doors did not open or close properly. The oven door did not open. Washer reported as not draining so we couldn’t use it. Overall we had a pleasant stay. The cottage is charming and cozy, but needs TLC. The visitors instructions also need to be re-written.
