Wonderful return trip to this property, love the peace and quiet and the rural scenery. Donna is great to work with and has very prompt communication. Clean, wonderfully decorated and historic. We look forward to our next opportunity to stay!
This was such a wonderful place to escape from the sounds and hustle of the city! We heard the crickets at night and woke to the sound of cowbells and bleating sheep in the morning. Everything in this lovely house was perfect. I love to cook and the kitchen was well supplied with quality tools and utensils. Donna was so helpful (even though my lovely husband drove on the grass twice, for which I am truly sorry), she even helped us find a couple of places we could play pool. We visited Longwood gardens and Brandywine Museum and had a fantastic brunch at Hanks Place. We came home with 3 kinds of squash, peppers, onions, eggs, and corn from their farm stand. And a caterpillar, who must now learn to adapt to city life. Truly a pleasurable experience!
The property is very secluded and serene. Your view is rolling green hills and sheep grazing on pasture. The school house has been renovated beautifully and is super cozy. We enjoyed the crackling wood in fire pit each day. Enjoying some of the seasonal offerings from the farm was wonderful!! Thank you Solidago Farm hosts :)

We very much enjoyed our stay. The place was renovated beautifully and clean and fully stocked with kitchen utensils, toiletries, and even firewood. The farm stand was a great perk. We loved the fresh pickles and herbs.
This place is magical. I loved everything about it from the perfect location to the beautifully designed interior, to farm life around the property. It felt so homey right away and I can’t wait to go back already.
What a wonderful and peaceful place! Super easy check in/out, very private, clean and comfortable. Design and decor are spot on and you have everything needed to make breakfast or a full meal. Just a gem of a place to stay!
Amazing property in a historic building situated in a beautiful rural setting. Located within easy access to the various museums, gardens and historic sites in the Brandywine Valley. Thoughtful hosts. Would definitely recommend.
The entire cottage was adorable. Clean, very well appointed and very comfortable. Communication with the host was informative and timely. We would definitely book our next trip here again.
This property was amazing. By far one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Donna was super generous, thoughtful and proactive in making our stay pleasant. This is 100% the spot I will stay in when visiting West Chester.
This was our second stay at the Country School House at Solidago Farm. It is a unique property, quiet, cozy, and beautifully maintained. The kitchen and bathrooms were well supplied for all our needs. Our host, Donna, was extremely helpful and accessible. We hope to return in the future.
We spent eight nights at the Country School House at Salidago Farm. Our stay was so relaxing. The School House was immaculate and well-equipped. We have already planned to return next year.
Charming lodgings in a beautiful country setting, complete with resident farm animals and fresh farm produce. The former schoolhouse is beautifully remodeled and thoughtfully equipped with every convenience. Highly recommended.
This property is amazing! Just as gorgeous as the pics! Just spent the weekend but sm coming bsck for a long stay and I’m really looking forward to it.
We chose this location due to its proximity to Longwood Gardens, while still remaining in the countryside. It exceeded our expectations and, despite it's solitude, was only a short drive to dining and vineyards. The hosts were accommodating and it was a pleasure chatting with them about the history of this cozy cottage. Overall, 10/10!
The school house is immaculately restored and furnished. Everything we needed! From the fire pit to breakfast recommendations to television and privacy shades, we could not have asked for more. We plan to return for our next Longwood visit.
I loved my winter retreat at Solidago Farm. The space is wonderful - somehow managing to be cozy and spacious at the same time. Even though the outside temperatures were in the single digits, I was warm and secure. Everything was very clean and well-appointed, I used the kitchen every day to cook full meals. And being able to partake of the farm’s winter offerings: fresh eggs, squash, greens, and the most delicious kimchi was an unexpected bonus. Communication with the host was prompt and accommodating, although there wasn’t much I needed beyond more firewood. I look forward to returning in another season, so I can take advantage of the charming sunroom and walk the beautiful grounds!
The location and accommodations are beautiful. Out in the country but minutes from Longwood Gardens, Brandywine River Museum, and Winterthur. There was a plumbing issue and the hosts did everything they could to resolve it, and were very forthcoming and accommodating. It was disappointing but based on the property and the professionalism of the hosts I would definitely stay in the future.
I stayed for 6 weeks while visiting family in the area. It’s a beautifully renovated historic schoolhouse on a quaint farm in the beautiful hills of Chester County. It was so rekaxing having coffee on the patio listening to the chickens pecking nearby and hearing the occasional tinkle of the milk cow bell nearby. Not to mention the delicious farm fresh eggs I made for breakfast!The property has everything you could possibly need…,including a generator when a storm knocked out power for 2-3 days! I’ll definitely be back!
If you are looking for a stay that is first class, well-appointed, relaxing, peaceful, and a bit out-of-the-ordinary, check out this place! The hosts have done such a great job on the remodel! This property is situated on a quiet country road but is only 6 miles from places to get food and shop. We loved hearing the chickens, ducks, pigs, and goats! Any hotel could not compare.
Over the last fifteen years my wife and I have stayed in dozens of short term rental offerings, from Maine to South Carolina. This was by far the best site we have ever experienced. The renovation of this 100 year plus school house was done by the owner at a level of appropriateness to the historical site and at a quality of workmanship that is extraordinary. The surrounding area was left natural and their many animals were fun to watch and they enjoyed their life there. World Class all the way!
