About this property

River Retreat with private apartment and deck on the beautiful Delaware River

Tranquil and relaxing best describes the lovely getaway treasure. Bordered by the
fully wooded Bulls Island State Park and the Delaware River with easy access to hiking, biking, kayaking and much more. Sit on the deck and watch the river and wildlife (there is a baldheaded eagles nest nearby, lots of dear, beaver, river otter, etc.) At sunrise the sky and river have a fantastic salmon-pink hue.

Enjoyed the stay. Stuart was a great host. Loved the amenities and being right in the lake. The porch was wonderful in the morning for coffee. So many things to do nearby. The canal path was perfect for a stroll along the river Would definitely stay there again if in the area.

Coming in from NY, this homestead was a perfect home for lengthy discussions and reflections. The home was emaculate and comfortable. Stewart, the host, was very welcoming and helpful. We will definitely follow up with a return visit.

Loved this Riverside retreat home! Very clean, lots of room, and the kitchen had coffee, cream and sugar. Host was very accommodating and friendly. Absolutely loved the area - such a beautiful and peaceful location with a lovely porch and great view! Very nice additions included a fire pit , swing chair, and ping pong table! Would definitely return and recommend.

Stuart was cool and very helpful! He came down to change the thermostat batteries after I’d arrived. The residence was very clean and well stocked, just as lovely as the photos had shown (albeit the dead plants outside because we came right after winter). Loved visiting Lumberville General Store for breakfast, Peddler’s Village in Lahaska and Lambertville/New Hope (both only 18 minutes away!). Beautiful riverside view as well and walking distance via towpath to Bulls Island bridge. Bedrooms are super cute!

The apartment is clean and well equipped for whatever your your adventures might lead to...and there is plenty to do in the immediate area. That said, it was tough to tear ourselves away from the beautiful view on the deck! Stuart is a phenomenal host.

Response from VrboOwner on 17 Jul 2025
Thank you for your review. I’m glad you enjoyed your stay and the beautiful vistas. I agree that the grounds need some attention. I was in Israel visiting my grandchildren when the war broke out. Canceled flights made it impossible to get out of the country until the end of June. I had a lot of catching up to do but have made good progress. I have even been able to get the dock back up.

Lovely first family getaway!

We brought our 11 month old on her first family weekend trip, and this place was perfect. We love New Hope and know it well, and this was a nice distance from there to accommodate naps and doing some sightseeing. Super close access to the canal trails, and the most awesome porch. We spent most of our time out there when at the rental!

My family stayed here for a wedding in newtown. What a lovely apartment! It was a rainy cooler june weekend so we didnt get to enjoy the outdoor space as much but parts of the patio/deck was covered which was great. The pingpong table and some porch areas needed a sweep but otherwise it was delightful, clean, cozy. We’d stay here again.
