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 Keywords: Country Estate Cottage ## Property amenities ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Snowboarding nearby ### Pool/Spa -

Everything was perfect except for perhaps some difficulty navigating the TV electronics that we were not interested in watching anyway. It was very pet friendly without additional charges. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you Chris! ##### Lee G. Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Richelle C. 4 Aug 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Thoughtful touches, charming cottage... but not the cleanest we've stayed in We arrived well after dark, so it was lovely to arrive to a cottage with twinkle lights shining inside and soft music playing upstairs (although Hubby couldn't figure out how to turn it off because it's in a cupboard and he was too tired to look in the house binder). As others have said, the screened-in porch is magical, especially with the new swivel rockers and double chaise lounge. Watching the swallow family feed their chicks in the nest built in the eaves was the icing on the cake of this experience! The bed was very comfy, and all the high-touch surfaces were very clean. It was the other areas that seem like they haven't been cleaned in awhile, especially the bedroom carpet, which would benefit from more frequent shampooing. The a/c unit in the bedroom also gave off a tangy smell when turned on, so we were delighted when the humidity eased off and we could keep the windows open and use the new (and powerful!) table fan to keep air moving. I very much appreciated that fan! Even though the listing says "pets allowed," when I asked for clarification about where we should keep our cat's litter, I got the impression that "pets" meant dogs after reading Chris's response to my message. I had only even thought to ask about my cat after reading a review about small dogs. The screened-in porch turned out to be the perfect place to keep her litter, so it all worked out. ##### Richelle C. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Richard D. 16 Aug 2024 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness, communication #### Disappointing Experience Over the years, I have never written a negative VRBO review. However, the disappointing experience at this property needs to be addressed because the property was dirty. We arrived shortly after the check-in time of 4:00\. The unit was unlocked (per the owner) so no problem with the check-in. The unit was not clean. We walked into dirty towels, sheets, dishes, bathroom, etc. There was an extremely musty odor. The tables and floor had crumbs, etc. We immediately sent a message through VRBO and left messages on TWO different telephone numbers for the owner. We left to attend a family event 30 minutes away. After an hour or so without a reply, we called VRBO. VRBO called the owner twice and the owner hung up on VRBO. VRBO asked us for pictures. Then instructed us to return to the property to pick up our bags ASAP. As we approached the property, VRBO advised us that they had finally connected with the owner and the room would be clean. Upon entering, he was cleaning the house and burning incense to eliminate the odor. He apologized. While I appreciate that the sheets were changed, the soiled towels removed and the vacuum run in parts of the house. The house could use a thorough cleaning; dust, dirt under the end tables, cobwebs on the bed, conditioner build-up in the shower. I am sorry but this house did not meet the high standards of other properties that we have enjoyed through VRBO. ##### Richard D.

Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda V. 20 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy A quaint get-away in the heart of horse country.Our host , Chris, had everything we could need and was flexible with our schedule and communicative. He provided great books explaining the history of the estate, and a very helpful list of nearby attractions. We were too busy with our itinerary to explore the grounds, so there will have to be a next time. ##### Linda V.
