This house is INCREDIBLE!! The decor is wonderfully whimsical and every room has beautiful character. The enormous fireplace was wonderful to warm up the bottom floor and the kitchen had everything we needed for a private chef to make an amazing 4 course meal for the guests. The house is very clean and the check in and check out process couldn’t have been easier. Our party suggested we make this a yearly get together at this same house. Vicki was a great host and always responded to my questions quickly. This is a superb property for hosting an event or just relaxing for a vacation.

It is important to note that this house was originally built as an Inn in 1714 if I remember correctly, so it is over 300 years old. It has had a lot of modifications since then, but what you are getting is an opportunity to essentially sleep in a museum. There are various things throughout the house that might leave you scratching your head, crooked door frames and light switches that are in weird places, and obviously there is wear-and-tear on floors and walls, but it all contributes to the experience. I will say that there is 1 bedroom without a door, and a couple of bedrooms that you have to walk through to get to other bedrooms, but if you are going with a family, it is easy enough to shut some of the doors to keep a level of privacy.When we booked, there was a hot tub listed in the amenities, but there is not a hot tub at the house. We checked in with the host about this, as well as some other questions, and she was always prompt and helpful in her responses, and very apologetic for the mistake with the listing (which she said she was trying to fix). It was great working with her since she was as helpful as possible whenever we communicated.

We has a fantastic stay at this beautiful historic lodge. The property is rich with character and charm offering a peaceful and inspiring setting that made our visit truly remarkable.The highlight for us was how spacious the house is with a first rate kitchen well-equiped for hosting large meals. The bedrooms are all very comfortable, and while only one was on the first floor, the layout worked well for our family. There are two dining areas and a cozy, inviting living room that made it easy to spend time together. As an added bonus there is a game room with pool, air hockey and other games. All in all, this is a wonderful venue for families, group gatherings, or small events. Would recommend to anyone looking to host a special occasion.

Great stay in a historic home

We had a great stay at this house while in town to celebrate our aunt's 90th birthday. The property was big enough to accommodate our 16 family members and we loved the historic charm. The busy road was a bit noisy but overall we had a wonderful time - thank you Vicki for a great experience!

Have your next family gathering here!

This property is perfect for a large gathering. The grounds are lovely. We enjoyed the patio and the fire pit. There is plenty of room to spread out. Inside is charming and well-equipped. There are some nice touches - plenty of nightlights to show the way to the bathroom at night, lots of spices available in the kitchen. There were no clear instructions on check-out procedures and the host did not respond to my message asking about it. I would highly recommend this place.

Family gathering

The place was initially hard to find, even though it was right in Rt 1. The house was very clean. It would have been helpful to know that it would be difficult for someone elderly or with physical limitations to navigate in and around the home. Lots of step ups and downs to get into different rooms. Uneven floors. It was rainy that weekend and the steps into the home were slippery. The house should be described as very rustic in the advertisement in VRBO. The downstairs bedroom was very drafty at night. The house needs painting and upkeep. The host was very accommodating and prompt when contacted about a couple issues and sent out two very nice gentlemen to fix them. Needs some better lighting inside. The grounds were lovely and flowers were pretty. Being right on Rt 1 was very noisy at night. In spite of these issues my family enjoyed our time there.

Wonderful home!

This historical home was absolutely wonderful. From the beginning, Vicki was attentive and made our stay perfect. The house has such history and the set up to accommodate a group is super.. Our group of 18 people moved freely throughout the house. We had multiple rooms to sit in for eating and visiting, as well as the game room with the pool table and air hockey. The backyard is exquisite with the patio, fire pit, etc. We even saw multiple deer and a fox while we were there. We wish this VRBO continued success. Don’t hesitate to grab it! It’s a gem!

Very good location for a vacation in Brandywine Valley

Our extended family enjoyed our stay in this well-located, historic home that was once a bed and breakfast. Lots of room indoors and out for a larger family gathering. Nice big kitchen with lots of refrigerators. Vicki the owner was very responsive to our needs. Apparently a strong t-storm blew through and knocked out power in the neighborhood for a few hours, but we didn't notice it. (Imagining generators kicked in.) Also, while the property is basically off of a busy Route 1, we were surprised by how relatively quiet it was inside. Big thumbs up there. All the big attractions we wanted to see were like within 10-15 minutes away. Super easy.

Perfect for before & after wedding gathering spot for family & friends

Loved the spacious home, the beautiful outdoor areas, and the large kitchen. The huge fridge & freezer were so helpful in keeping us organized, plus having the extra fridge near the beloved coffee station was a plus. Lots of seating areas both indoors & out, this home was a perfect location for family & friends to stop in & hang between different wedding functions over the long weekend. (Wedding itself was at Tyler Arboretum). Coffee station was well-used. We also appreciated the new outdoor grill, it was so useful. Vicki was helpful at every turn, we can't thank her enough for her support. Highly recommend!!
