Charming and Quaint Cottage

Review Submitted 01/24/13

My wife and I returned last weekend from a 3 day break at the cottage. It is such a beautiful and tranquil environment; one in which all can truly relax and take it easy. The log fire is a lovely feature and we highly recommend that everyone uses it. Alfred and Emily are so pleasant and easy going - it made the whole experience even better. I would recommend the cottage to anyone looking to "get away from everything" or to be used as a base to explore Bucks county. It's excellent value for money.

My Favorite Things

Review Submitted 12/12/12

This cottage is amazing! It has everything that you need and a little more. 5 stars at a 3 star price. Comfortable bed with the softest sheets, bath has big fluffy towels. It has all the charm and feel of an old colonial with modern features. The living room is comfortable and the fireplace adds to the warmth of the cottage. We loved just sitting by the fire and watching the deer from the windows. The owners; Emily and Alfed have thought of everything and their hospitality is beyond words. We will most definitely be back for a longer stay.

First of all, the house was spotless so for me, everything else was a wonderful bonus. It was small but beautiful with lovely furnishings, cozy bedding and tons of firewood. Our morning walks were shared with fowl and deer, including a buck. We enjoyed the local sights as well as taking the train to Philadelphia. To sum it up, the only thing more charming than the house, was the owner :)

What an amazing place to stay!! We just loved this cottage! It is located right on the Delaware River in Yardley – just beautiful area to visit for vacation. Emily, the owner, was incredibly helpful since this was our first visit to the area. She gave us great recommendation for local attractions and restaurants. We are looking forward to our next visit!

We had an exceptional stay in this cottage! We do a lot of VRBO, but seldom are you treated so special. Our 30 mile bike ride along the Delaware was the best: 95% shade, no hills, beautiful scenery, and lots of options for stopping to rest, eat, shop, or whatever.

Quite awesome

Guest Ant

Review Submitted 07/14/12

Emily was absolutely wonderful and accommodating. In addition to the wealth of information provided in the guides waiting for you, Emily is very knowledgeable and willing to make recommendations based on what you are looking for. The cottage was immaculate and packed with everything we needed to start our three day stay, including a set table, milk, juice and tasty snacks in the kitchen. There are also pans and nifty stove to make your own meals. This location is perfect for those who live in the New Jersey and New York area, because it's not too far out of the way (took me about 50 minutes from north NJ) but far enough from the madness of city life. Sweet silence at night and lots of candles make you feel like it's just you and your partner in your own private wonderland. We mostly spent our time in the cottage and in the New Hope and Lambertville areas. I recommend New Hope for walks, shopping and spots like Post Mortem Gallery and Nightbird Vintage shopping were exceptionally cool. Restaurants to try: Cafe Antonio (Italian), Havana (Caribbean), and Phillips Inn (romantic, American cuisine). If you are looking for an inexpensive, romantic and quiet vacation with a significant other, I highly recommend a stay at this cottage.

Great Anniversary week!

Guest Elizabeth O.
Date of stay 06/25/12
Review Submitted 07/03/12

My husband and I spent our anniversary week exploring Bucks County, and had a fabulous time! This cottage was centrally located to explore all of Bucks County, which is quite large! We loved the little town of Yardley, where the cottage is located, but FYI you cannot physically access the river from the cottage. I think highlights would include fabulous restaurants, like Concerto in Morrisville, all the self serve frozen yogurt you would want (every town pretty much has one, but our favorites were in New Hope and Doylestown), antiquing in Lambertville, bike riding on the tow path right near the cottage, and tubing down the Delaware (our tubing adventure took 4 hours to get down the river!...I would recommend scouting out a shorter route...we used Delaware River Tubing but there are other companies that might have a shorter route.) We did most, but not all of the things on our list. What a wonderful, enjoyable week!

Our second time at the cottage and even better than the first! Saw foxes, fireflies, bunnies, deer, groundhogs.. all in just 3 days. Our toddler loves the huge beautiful wooded garden, as do we! Recommend Canal Street Grille and Continental Tavern in Yardley, Washington Crossing Inn, and Bitter Bob's in New Hope.. Just a great place to get to from NYC in less than two hours, but feel like you are a million miles away! Thanks Emily and Alfred, we will be back soon!

DON'T STAY ANYWHERE ELSE!!!!

Guest Jacquelyn E.

Review Submitted 10/23/12

This past April my mother, sister and I spent a few wonderful days in this fabulous little cottage. The downside: It wasn't nearly enough time to explore the area. The upside: Perfection and Charm. The museums, shopping, restaurants, beautiful views and friendly people made our trip even better. We wore ourselves out each day and then spent each evening snuggled in front of the fire with a glass of wine. Emily & Alfred couldn't be better hosts. They live right next door, but you will never know they are there unless you need them. And if you are at a loss for something to do - just ask - they are a wealth of knowledge. The moment we entered the front door we were instantly at home. This little cottage has all the comforts you would expect from a fine hotel – only much more charming. Thank you for making our mother/sister trip unforgettable. We will most certainly be back! Patricia Evans / Jacquelyn Evans / Sandra Graham Ohio / Texas / New Hampshire

My husband and I stayed in the cottage while visiting our son, a student at UPenn in Philadelphia. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit - especially the fireplace and the beautiful views of the Delaware River from the front windows. Emily and Alfred made us feel like we were at home. I highly recommend this charming cottage and we are looking forward to going back for a longer stay.

Best hospitality from a vacation rental... EVER!

Guest Staley
Date of stay 09/21/11
Review Submitted 09/27/11

I've stayed in dozens of vacation rentals and have never experienced this level of hospitality. Juice and milk in the fridge, snacks, even chocolate, fresh flowers and a welcome note. Any time we thought we needed something, we would look in the spot we thought it would be and there we'd find it. You will want for nothing here. The 600 thread count sheets were wonderful. The hosts have very well organized information about where to eat and what to do. We loved staying in this lovely cottage and will absolutely be back. If you enjoy Revolutionary War history do not miss the Hessian Barracks in Trenton. They were amazing as was our tour guide. The oldest prison in the country is nearby in Mount Holly, NJ which was interesting also. The Old Tenent Church looked really neat too, but we ran out of time. Oh I forgot to mention that there is no shortage of great dining in the area. Sprig and Vine in New hope was one of our favorites.

This house and location were better than advertised! We used it as our home away from home on a visit to bucks county with our 2 young kids. Sesame place was only a 10 minute drive, and nearby peddler's village was great! The home was perfect for our family, the kids loved running and playing hide and seek in the beautiful back yard, not to mention the great tree swing. The accommodations were great with a well supplied kitchen, and very comfortable bedrooms and living room. We would recommend this to anyone on a small family getaway or a couple looking for a romantic weekend. Thanks to Emily too, as she was very helpful with answering questions leading up to our visit.

A home from home for six weeks

Guest Grandpa
Date of stay 05/10/11
Review Submitted 07/01/11

We were made welcome on our arrival late in the day after a long international flight. The kitchen was stocked with basics to see us through until the following day. The cottage well equiped and beautifully furnished. An extensive video library and lots of information on the local area meant plenty to do on a wet evening. The wild life was great, deer, fox, groundhog, box turtle, and at night the fireflies. All except the turtle could be seen from the cottage windows! It was a wonderful place to be for six weeks which passed in a flash. Do explore further up the river - beautiful countryside and quiet roads up to Washington's Crossing, New Hope and beyond. Our thanks to Emily & Alfred

Review Submitted 04/05/11

Spending time in Emily and Alfred's cottage felt like a step back in time but with all the conveniences of today. We enjoyed the beauty of the Delaware River along with the charm of historic Yardley. Emily thought of everything - recommendations for restaurants (plus coupon), directions to some excellent specialty grocery stores, information on the best activities the area has to offer. The cottage is conveniently located to places like New Hope, Peddler's Village, and Newtown. Thanks to the fresh flowers on the kitchen table, the essentials for our first morning's breakfast and the luxurious sheets, you will feel pampered and rested at the end of your visit. We will certainly be back.

This beautiful cottage allowed my husband and myself the peace, quiet and tranquility we were craving as full time New Yorkers. We loved having our own little house to relax in; sitting by the fire, eating breakfasts in the bright kitchen, lounging and reading, and walking the lovely grounds. The drive to nearby towns is easy and scenic. There are great restaurants nearby as well as a lovely yoga studio (prancing peacock). We will definitely return. Samantha and Jason :)

Emily and Alfred, Your cottage was the perfect setting for discovering all that Bucks County has to offer. Every little detail from the welcome goodies, to the lovely flowers made it seem like our home away from home. The bonus was your friendliness and all of your great suggestions. We came for a friends wedding but ended up falling in love with Yardley and its friendly folks. Thank you again so very much. I would recommend this location to anyone who wants to enjoy, relax, and discover this unique and historical part of the country!

This place is beautiful. The cottage was immaculate, spotlessly clean and stocked with everything you need for a weekend getaway. The garden was fabulous, our toddler loved racing around the trees and jumping in piles of leaves. Alfred and Emily were exceptional hosts. They provided great information about local family friendly activities and even presented our 18 month old with a gift bag of animal crackers with his name on it! We have recommended this property highly to our family and friends.

Review Submitted 08/30/10

We stayed 10 days. What sets this rental apart is the little things. We like to rent with a kitchen, but normally you find yourself running around buying pepper, and two pounds of sugar, to cover your short stay. This place had pretty much everything we needed. And it's comfortable, and a great location. Aside from offering easy access to Philly and New York, there's a nice walking trail along the towpath, just behind the house, and Bucks County has a lot to offer. Having the hosts right next door was also a blessing, because they were very friendly, and helped with suggestions for day-trips, and restaurants. We will definitely go back.

Picture this: Colonial surroundings, blazing fireplace, fresh flowers, attention to detail in all respects, 600 count crisp sheets, “starter kit” with fresh OJ, coffee and other treats, tour suggestions galore, and even bars of Yardley soap in your own Yardley rental home in Bucks County, PA. If that is what you are looking for-look no more. Would rent this cottage again and again!

We spent New Year's Eve at the cottage and had an absolutely wonderful time. From the curious wildlife to peaceful river side evenings to the cozy fireplace, this cottage has everything you want and expect. It is apparent that the owners love Bucks county and are eager to share it by providing the perfect accommodations for doing just that. The cottage has all the amenities and information you want and would expect if you were to do this yourself. This comes as no surprise since the owners literally wrote the book on it. They make it so easy to immerse yourself in life as a Bucks County resident that you feel as if you've been living there for years in only a few short days. This made it very difficult to leave! But it will make the decision to do it all over again an easy one to make. It's the perfect location in a charming town which is a short hop from Philly and a great launching pad to the rest of Bucks County and all it has to offer.

I just completed a five night stay there that was absolutely perfect. I went for work, needing a quiet place and no worries and I got that plus a lovely home and wonderful care from Emily. I have stayed in many rentals over the years and it simply doesn't get better than this in terms of thoughtfulness and preparation and little touches. The master bedroom and bath are elegant and the bathroom is quite large. The bedroom is not large but it's a good size and beautiful. The fireplace in the sitting room is a terrific extra. The property is clean, well decorated and atmospheric. The kitchen is small but entirely adequate for anything, really and was partially stocked for my first day. All in all this is a wonderful, charming property. The thoughtful care provided by the owners/hosts makes this a truly special place.

Recommended. An ideal location for a holiday, which allowed us to visit Philadelphia (park your car at the local station & take the train into the city.......it couldn't be easier) & explore the surrounding countryside. The cottage is very comfortable, well equipped & is in a peaceful location. We particularly enjoyed the resident family of deer - fascinating to watch from the kitchen window......however, they didn't appear so keen on us!

I spent three weeks at this wonderful home away from home. It was totally relaxing and a pleasant experience. This was my first time but certainly not my last. I enjoy the fact that there was so much to do in the area, but it was as easy just to stay home and relax. I enjoyed being away from the hustle and bustle of life. The time flew by!

Your cottage was just perfect for our family of four! You made us feel so welcome and right at home beginning with our first contact over the phone. From your willingness to visit and be available when needed to the cookies and dolls you put out for the kids, you added such a personal touch. It was just fun! Your knowledge and resources of the area were fantastic. The location and the accommodations of the cottage were excellent. Your requirements for reservations, payment, check-out, etc. were simple, clear, and reasonable. We had a wonderful vacation and left feeling like we had made a new friend.

We just recently stayed at another VRBO property in Laguna Beach & it reminded us of the fabulous time we spent at this property almost two years ago! The cottage is beautifully decorated, quiet & quaint, and well-located and well-equipped. The Glossbrenners were fabulous hosts & richly deserved our praise, and we feel badly we didn't know about this option on the VRBO website until now to give it to them! Thanks for the memories!

It was a delight to stay in your cottage. Everything was just perfect. We first started renting "homes" on a trip to Italy many years ago and have become very spoiled - never wanting to stay in hotels. It was so great to find your cottage as we are frequent visitors to Bucks County and have stayed at most of the B&Bs.... but there is nothing like a "home" of your own. And that is just what the cottage felt like. Hope to visit you again soon!

"The Cottage" is absolutely beautiful. We enjoyed our stay but hope to return. This was an excellent way to surprise me for our 5th wedding anniversary. It helped renew the sparks (!) of romance!! Owners Note: It didn't happen with Chris and Jen. But if you're inquiring about renting the cottage as a surprise, for heaven's sake let us know by including that information in your note when you send your availbility inquiry! It has only happened once, but a spouse sent an inquiry, we needed clarification and called, and, of course, ended up spilling the beans to the other spouse. (The "surprise-ee"?)

From the fireplace to the candles, fresh flowers and dry, this is the place I'd like to call "our place." It had everything one could possibly want! Thank you, Alfred and Emily. P.S. We loved your choice of books.
