The only complaint I could possibly have is that I had a hard time communicating with the host in the week prior to the reservation through the VRBO app. The stay was absolutely lovely. For the host: the oven door needs a little TLC.

This unique cottage on an historic, rural property was a gem. My birdwatching husband, our dog and I were delighted with the stay. Truly a beautiful area. I hope we can return to Chester Springs and I would stay at this location again happily!

Comfortable, adequately appointed, clean and quiet enough. Best aspect is location - centrally located amidst a beautiful rural landscape full of history and well preserved architecture.

This was a nice place in a great location. We were allowed to bring our 12 year old lab, which was wonderful. The property was everything we needed for a short trip to the area. There was a husky/cattle dog named Luna that came out to say hello and seemed to wander the property at times. She snarled a few times at our dog but didn’t seem aggressive so no big deal. We appreciate the easy communication with the host.

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.

I would've given four stars but first of all I'd like to say that this property is in an absolutely beautiful location. The host, Chris lives on the property, and communication with him was good. When we arrived there, he told us there was one set of keys if we felt the need to use them. Only felt the need to lock doors at night but left the doors unlocked during the day. There was an issue with the upstairs air-conditioning unit, and water had leaked onto the floor. Chris was responsive immediately the next day, since we had arrived late in the afternoon/evening, and came over to check it out in the am and begin cleaning it up while we were off the property for the day for a wedding. Without going into a lot of detail, the issue did not resolve itself by the third night, and we needed to find another accommodation. Chris was again very responsive and immediately said we would be refunded the last two nights. I really felt bad that we had to leave, but the water soaking the carpet had created a mildew or mold smell that we were not able to sleep with. Chris assured us that the problem would be addressed after our departure, and I believe that he will do that!
