Quiet Cottage
A wonderful place to call home for the time we visited Bucks County! This conveniently located carriage house was well equipped with all the comforts of home. 2 bright bedrooms. Comfortable living space. Cozy kitchen that had everything to make a simple meal! They even had coffee, tea, oatmeal, salt and pepper, oil and vinegar for us to us!

Great Weekend Getaway
The carriage house was very comfortable for a very old home. We needed a place close to New Hope and central to other areas that we were visiting and we found it in this carriage house! Definitely a place we would come back too!!

Lovely fall weekend getaway
This was such a nice, safe, cozy place to stay. Everything that you need was available plus some extra perks such as coffee/tea and a fireplace on a cold rainy weekend.Very clean! We didnt use the kitchen much since there are so many amazing restaurants nearby but it appeared fully stocked. The hosts were very kind and welcoming. Very convenient short drive to downtown New Hope and our favorite, Peddlers Village! I highly recommend this place!

Perfect getaway
We absolutely loved our stay. The cottage was so clean and cozy. Nancy & Chip were so welcoming and kind. We loved having the pool and the grounds. It’s so close to New Hope and Lambertville. We enjoyed walks on the canal and had delicious meals in both towns. We would recommend this place to everyone we know. It’s a little oasis. Just perfect for a quiet relaxing retreat. Thank you Nancy and Chip. By the way, Nancy is an amazing artist, just check out the artwork in the cottage.

Harmony Hill Stay
Really enjoyed the unique setting of this place. It is well set-up. This was a very convenient location for us as we were biking the river trails and trail access was right down the street, with parking. Also right next door to the Bowman Wildflower Preserve which was visited. You should be aware that there are really two beds, not three. But Chip put up a inflatable and put in additional air conditioning right away. He also was helpful with our need for an additional bike.

Perfect bike vacation retreat
The Carriage House at Harmony Hill was a perfect place for us to stay for a couple of days while biking in the New Hope area. The Carriage House is comfy, cozy, nicely restored. It was quiet, away from road noise, had a great porch for a morning cup of tea or an afternoon drink. Just what we were looking for. The biking going north and south from New Hope on both sides of the river was wonderful. A great base camp for exploration.

Nice getaway weekend at a quiet Bucks County Property
Property is as advertised. Beautiful, peaceful setting with easy access to the canal, river, and Washington Crossing Park. Property was also just a few miles away from the dining and shops at both New Hope and Washington Crossing. We enjoyed both the hominess and aesthetics of the accommodations and quiet mornings and evening beverages on the deck. Owners were personable while also being unobtrusive. We had a great weekend and I'd highly recommend you consider a stay at Harmony Hill Farm.

Mother/Daughter/Mother's Day Weekend
My two adult daughters who have children of their own, and I enjoyed celebrating a lovely early Mother's Day weekend together. The carriage house was cozy and just the right size for us. Verizon service was a bit spotty, but we were able to use the Wi Fi provided. We enjoyed wandering around New Hope, visiting several wineries, and shopping in Lahaska. It was a very relaxing weekend that we all needed!! Thank you, Chip and Nancy!

My son and daughter in law came over, and they were tired so we decided to let them stay, the owners - weirdly watching us asked us for more money. Just saying we never did that in the ten plus years we owned our own VBRO.

Lovely getaway!
My sisters and I stayed here for a weekend getaway to check out New Hope. This was a beautiful residential area just minutes from town and near some points of interest. The Carriage House was well maintained, clean and had a welcoming feel. We had all the amenities we needed. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate, so we weren’t able to get out to enjoy the grounds, but we absolutely enjoyed the house. When we arrived, we were greeted by Chip. He gave us a run through of everything we might need and suggestions for meals. Our time in town was cut short because of weather, but it was no matter because we had a great time just sitting in front of the fireplace and chatting. This is one of the coziest places I’ve ever stayed - we are looking forward to coming back another time!

Very charming carriage house, with beautiful details. There is an outdoor staircase to enter the second floor unit. We noticed that it might be difficult to manage for some, and could be better lit.
Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2021
Response from Nancy on 30 Sept 2021
Thank you for the compliments. Regarding the staircase, there is a flood light which is either in "motion detection" mode, "continuous on" or off. Perhaps you did not have it on. The staircase, itself, is up to code, it is wide with a hand rail. We have had a number of guests with disabilities (foot brace, hip and knee problems) stay at our property with no complaints. We do mention in our description that there are stairs and people should note that and make a decision appropriate to their condition.

Listing could have been more accurate
I stayed with 2 friends for a girls’ weekend. The location is terrific, being a short drive or Uber ride into town. (We would recommend an Uber ride during peak season on the weekends, because the town gets quite busy and parking is hard to come by.) The listed stated 3 bedrooms. We all read that as three beds, plus an air mattress if needed. It is not 3 bedrooms, and there aren’t 3 beds. It’s a 2 bedroom house with 2 queen beds. The 3rd bedroom is an air mattress that needs to go in the dining area after moving away all the dining furniture. The apartment was clean, though the dishes should have been run through a dishwasher because we had to wash the glasses and coffee pot before using. There are limited supplies for cooking or storing food (no plastic wrap, tin foil, baggies, etc.). The pool was very nice, and we enjoyed a swim. Note that there are no lounge chairs. They are sand chairs that you’d carry to the beach. The table at the pool appeared to be wood, but we didn’t use it because it needed a good scrubbing. Overall, if the listing was more accurate, we would have given it 4 stars. The owners were lovely. They welcomed us upon arrival. We truly struggled with giving a critical review because the owners seemed so nice, but we really felt it important to give an accurate review for future guests. We suggest the owners clarify the listing. Thank you.

We are very sorry to learn of your dissatisfaction with your stay at Harmony Hill Farm. It is unfortunate that you chose to voice your complaints in a review rather than at any time during your visit. During the course of welcoming you and walking the property, we encouraged you to contact us if there was anything you needed, and re-iterated this with a follow-up text message the next day. Had you given us a chance, we would have tried to work with you on the accommodation to help you feel comfortable, and it certainly would have been easy to address most of the issues you’ve raised. We have been hosts for 4 years. Previous to your visit, all 21 VRBO reviews across 4 years have been 5 star. Total reviews as hosts with VRBO and other companies amount to 190, with an average score of +4.9 star. As Premier/Superhosts over this period, we are highly committed to providing great stays for our guests, without exception. All 30 reviews in 2021 (except yours) have been 5 stars, attesting to this commitment. To address your comments: -Bedroom Number: We offer 2 bedrooms, 2 queen size beds and an inflatable bed to be used in the common space. You are the first customer who has booked with us thinking that we offer 3 bedrooms and 3 beds. Rather than contacting us about this disparity upon arrival, you chose to explore a storage room which is not part of the rental. This room is off limits to guests as it’s outside the main living area (which is locked), across an inner hallway and the door is closed. We’ve modified our listing so that there is no confusion that we offer 2 bedrooms and 2 beds, and a supplementary air mattress. -Cleanliness: We follow CDC covid cleaning protocols for all guests, including hand washing dishes, glasses and the coffee pot. We offer the basics for cooking consistent with VRBO guidance, and will provide a full range of supplemental culinary tools, food ingredients, etc. from our main house for those guests informing us of their needs. -Pool Furniture: We offer a teak table and umbrella, with 4 teak chairs, and 4 Tommy Bahama Classic Beach Chairs. The teak furniture ages to a silver grey patina (i.e. not dirt). We’ve selected the beach chairs for their versatility because many of our guests like to reposition them given the changing location of the sun, and the fact that they are children “friendly”. We do not state in our listing that we have lounge chairs. Again, we are committed to providing our guests with a great stay.

Amazing Property
The property is amazing, and you can tell how much love and care the owners put into it. We loved spending time on the carriage house porch, using the tennis court, lounging at the pool, and hanging at the fire pit. The chairs on the porch and at the fire pit were incredibly comfortable and perfect for long stretches of relaxing. This was the perfect spot for our last summer weekend. Also, thank you Nancy for being so very quick to answer any of our questions!

Chip and Nancy were very accommodating and kind. Their place is very nice and cozy. My husband and I stayed there for our 1 year wedding anniversary. It was the perfect relaxing weekend hideaway. It is also 10 minutes from Peddlers Village. I would definitely recommend staying here. The bed was so comfortable we overslept our alarm. Cute kitchen, nice living/dining room.

As others have noted, Chip and Nancy are wonderful people. Chip gave us many good suggestions in New Hope and Nancy's art in the rooms adds to the cozy, homey, comfortable atmosphere in the stone house. It was just the right size for my husband and me. We enjoyed the deck and the pool (which is fenced in so very safe for children even though there's a road near it) and the close proximity to artsy New Hope. We hope to stay here again!

Cozy quaint retreat close to downtown New Hope
We had a lovely time at the Carriage House. It feels very private even though it is on the large property of the owners. We enjoy visiting Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve and this rental is practically right next door. They have just the right amount of amenities to cook a light meal - pots, pans, microwave, stove, tea kettle, silverware and full size refrigerator. They even have some coffee, tea and hot chocolate and provide a light continental type breakfast. We have to make special mention of the super soft comfy sheets. We had fun exploring the area and coming back at night to a warm and welcoming home. The river had frozen and had icebergs floating down it, what a sight. Thank you for a great getaway!
