Map & Owner's Profile
The Cottage in New Hope
Why the Owner Chose New Hope
“Back in the fever of renovating and flipping houses, my partner and I passed this 175-year-old house. It was the cheapest place in town. So we thought, how can we lose? Well, here’s how: First, it had originally been a two-family house but had six families living in it when we bought it. Second, the contractor called one day to say that he’d just had to remove the entire exterior wall of one side of the house and that, “You’d better get over here with your checkbook.” Three, my partner is a designer, and I can only say that it is a troubling and mind-boggling thing to see what happens when you put a nail gun in the hand of a designer.
In the end the renovation cost as much as the house had. So we thought of renting it. Let me put that differently: Desperate to recover our costs, we thought of renting it.
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage
What I think we offer is a comforting and attractive in-town house close to the restaurants, bars and shops, and within driving distance of boating and arts events. And of course proximity to the lovely countryside and excellent antiquing that Bucks County is known for.”

Family getaway in gorgeous New Hope PA.

We stayed 5 nights with our kids. The cottage is gorgeous, spotless and ideally located. Thom, the owner is so friendly and helpful, always had his phone on for us. You will be in a prime location within walking distance to everywhere you want to go. We fell in love with the area and the cottage was a bonus. We couldn't have been happier with the accomodations. Simply perfect!! Thank you Thom. (and Dan for all the help you gave us) Iris and Kurt, Ohio

The Cottage in New Hope, put "its arms around us".......for the second time in two years. We parked in the driveway, unlocked the door, poured a glass of wine, turned on the fireplace (& sometimes the TV) and relaxed. The Cottage is bright, cheerful and charmingly decorated. It even has a washer, dryer, central heat AND air. We appreciated Thom's excellent suggestions for places to eat and where to buy fresh fruits and vegetables. As we read all the wonderful comments, there were smiles and head nodding. But, one thing was missing......We found the hidden vegetable garden! Right where Thom said it was--complete with tomatoes, chard, beans, mint and lemon verbena. We heartily recommend this lovely cottage in delightful New Hope, PA.
Owner response:It was great to have you stay with us again. Thank you for your kind words! Thomas The Cottage In New Hope

Thom thought of everything to make a guest comfortable. His decorating was perfect, keeping the charm of the 175-year-old cottage while unobtrusively providing flat-screen TV, central AC/heat, Internet, washer/dryer, microwave, dishwasher. I loved telling everyone I met that I was staying at the cottage, which everyone in town knew due to its fantastic location and superb curb appeal. I almost hesitated to write such a good recommendation here because it means that I risk the cottage already being rented when I want to return--which is soon. I stayed for a whole month and never got tired of Bucks County and the charm of the cottage. I also use HomeAway for the condos I own in Phoenix, and Thom's attention to making his guests comfortable is even better than mine (which is pretty darn good)!!

Had a great week getaway at the cottage. Even though it rained the first 3 days, the cottage made the stay very enjoyable. I would reccomend the cottage to anyone interested in vacationing in New Hope. The location is perfect for walking to anything in New Hope or Lambertville!

We just returned from our weekend at The Cottage in New Hope, it was such a fabulous stay. The entire place was immaculate and clean. There is nothing like crisp, clean white sheets and towels. It was great for us so we could take our small dog. The fire place was my favorite amenity. The decor is just fabulous, the exposed beams caught our eye. This is in a great location too, you can walk everywhere. We plan on returning to the Cottage in the future. The owner even stopped by to fix the TV because we couldn't get it to work.

b&b's, rental homes, hotels - you never quite know what yr going to get... will it be tacky, cold, dirty, etc? thom gets it absolutely just right and has renovated this home beautifully, down to the last detail, and it's abundantly clear from the second you walk in, the amount of thought that went into making sure yr stay is without a worry or thought such as "who would buy and actually hang that thing?". it's a very tasteful and comfortable cottage in an excellent location. the kitchen is excellent and easy to cook any meal in, be it simple or complicated prep-wise. the bedrooms are awesome, roomy and simply enjoyable to look at - we all slept very well. ate well. relaxed well.

The cottage is beautifully appointed, comfortable, and a perfect spot in the New Hope/Lambertville area. It is within walking distance to all of the town shops on both sides of the river. We will definitely be back!

Best location in New Hope

The Cottage has become an absolute 'must" when we visit New Hope. The location is perfect and it feels like home. You couldn't wish for anything more in a place to stay, whether you want to loll about and relax, or use it as a base for exploring the many places to visit (lots to do within walking distance or by car). Great to have that parking space off-street.

Charming, Beautiful Interior - Just What We Wanted

Stayed here with my Mom and Sister, two nieces and our dog. It was the perfect place for our girl-getaway but I also want to come back with my husband or with another couple. Beautifully outfitted, clean, comfortable, perfect location and walkable to everything. Made a few meals in but went out as well and coudn't have been happier. The pup stayed downstairs and we brought a baby gate as the staircase is original/authentic and VERY steep. It worked out great, however, and I would recommend it. The washer/dryer was an added bonus as well as the wonderful kitchen - fun to cook in. The back porch is also a treat - we enjoyed evening cocktails and champagne as we watched the world go by - it closes with a gate so was also perfect for the kids to join us. Look forward to coming back! Thank you Thom...

Second time at the Cottage in New Hope. Can't say enough wonderful things about it. Beautiful, modern, comfortable. Upscale amenities and modern appliances. Fantastic location and off street parking a huge plus as parking is a hot commodity in New Hope. Can't wait to go back!
