Your very own Colonial Williamsburg-style cottage, with a wood-burning fireplace in a park-like setting on the Delaware River, 13 miles south of New Hope and Lambertville and 5-10 minutes from trains to Philadelphia and New York City.
Furnished with 18th-century reproduction furniture and Oriental rugs, the Cottage is perfect for week-long vacations, weekend getaways, writer's retreats, and house-hunting visits.
The Cottage living space (750 square feet) is quite comfortable for two people. But it also works for a family with one child, or for three close friends who don't mind sharing a bathroom. Because the rooms are small and the floor plan is a bit unusual (you walk through the bathroom to get to the bedroom), we suggest that you contact us first if you're considering reserving the Cottage for three adults, or for two adults and a teenager.
The main bedroom is furnished with a queen-size canopy bed. The "Tavern Room" off the kitchen provides a twin bed for extra sleeping space. (We don't call this a bedroom because it doesn't have doors or a closet. For a bit of privacy, there are blackout curtains at each of the two doorways, and blackout shades at the windows.) We also have a portable Graco crib and child's booster seat that we can have set up and ready for those traveling with an infant or toddler.
The sunny eat-in kitchen, though not designed for elaborate gourmet cooking, has everything you'll need to prepare simple meals: refrigerator/freezer, electric stove/oven, microwave, coffeemaker, toaster.
There really is no place like our "Bucks County Cottage on the Delaware." Come visit us soon!
Happy Travels,
Emily and Alfred Glossbrenner

3 Month Availability Snapshot for this Vacation Rental
"Emily and Alfred covered every situation that could arise when away from home...from "basics" in the kitchen, to a washer and dryer, to bandaids and aspirin in the bathroom. They did not overlook one detail. A true "home away from home". Immaculate. Private (it truly is a stand-alone cottage!). Cozy. Centrally located to all sorts of activities, from historical sites to New Hope/Lambertville, to flea markets, to Philadelphia and New York. Warm and welcoming every time you pull into the driveway. "Perfect" sums it up."
