Cottage on Historic Gentleman's Farm

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

We enjoyed the quiet, cozy setting of the cottage & the convenience of being close to family in Phoenixville. Chris was a great host! We walked the grassy areas & along the quiet roads, respite from the busy main roads just a few miles away. It’s a quaint escape.

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.

We had a great visit at The Cottage. It was clean and comfortable. The cottage had everything we needed. We especially enjoyed the screened in porch and spent most of our time there. There were plenty of places on the property to walk our dogs. Don’t hesitate to book this unique cottage. It is truly a peaceful gem in beautiful Chester Springs

Clean comfortable country living

On entering the cottage in chester springs, of course we ‘had to’ tour the entire interior which would b ‘home’ to us the nxt three days..! Wonderful adventure t’would b both inside and out all around the place, -climbing the stairs to the master bedroom; looking at the cool new tiles in shower. Checking out this flowery aromatic entrance w songbirds all about! Absolute treat.

rustic

Older cottage with musty smell to furniture. Amenities were minimal. Never able to get internet access. multiple remotes necessary to get tv access, only able to get one to work. Advertised sofa futon for 3rd person had broken frame and not usable. When contacted thru VRBO supplied an inflatable bed. Impression that host did not supervise preparation of rental before hand.
