This house and property is beyond beautiful!It has every essential item anyone will need. The kitchen is overly stocked with great pots, pans, dishes, etc. The beds were comfy, great linens. The decor in the house is great. Beautiful antiques everywhere! We did not use it, but the laundry space is a great thing for travelers. The outside has the cutest decor. Concrete rabbits, a dog, a metal goat and chickens. It is so cozy, inside and out. Because of the beautiful antiques and breakables I would not suggest young children. We would loved to have had time to take a day to stay around and enjoy the beauty property and weather but we were on the run visiting relatives, etc. For us Texans, October in Pennsylvania is perfect.

Amazing property

Went for a weekend getaway - this house is so very special. Decades of collections give it charm and history. We didn’t want to leave - Far enough from town to feel like you’re completely off grid - close enough to enjoy the region and it’s offerings! Alyce is responsive and completely a pleasure to work with!

Beautiful Country Setting

We enjoyed our stay at your lovely property. We had the opportunity to make use of the outside fire pit and explore the spectacular property. It was so nice to come back to the farm and just relax after all the wedding activities. A true gem!! Thank you!

Bucks County Delight

The house is lovely, with a well-equipped kitchen and high quality towels. My only issue was finding some of the light switches as many were retro-fitted into a very old house. The large property in front of the house ensures absolute quiet. The master bathroom is huge with a terrific shower. Loved every minute.

My colleague and I stayed at the farm as a retreat, during which we prepped the courses we are teaching this semester. We got a lot done, in a very peaceful atmosphere. There were plenty of good spots to work, and the farm itself is lovely, so we had nice breaks just taking walks around the property. We loved it. Sitting on the terrace working, watching the creek go by, watching the deer and birds--all amazing.One suggestion: If you order from Instacart, be sure to have them deliver during daylight hours. If the Instacart driver isn't terribly familiar with the area, you might end up driving to the end of the driveway, near the road, to meet her! All worked out fine in the end, but our driver did drive by the entrance a few times in the dark.

Idyllic Winter Vacation Home

This is a wonderful property with an amazing owner and everything about our experience was ideal. The property is situated in a rural setting and is surrounded by expansive corn fields. Privacy here is abundant. The rustic/nature setting certainly caters to nature lovers. Although it's location is by no means isolated. Philadelphia is a mere hour away, and NYC is only and hour and a half by car. The property provided a perfect homebase location. The house itself is quaint, rustic, romantic. It's an old (18th Century) stone-style house that has been meticulously maintained. The kitchen has been updated and the house includes all the amenities of modern-style living. The property owner is a sincerely kind and helpful person. Communicating with her was refreshingly pleasant. Ultimately, I can't say enough about how positive our experience was with this house and I would highly recommend it.

Brian's stay at the farm was definitely a mutually agreeable arrangement! He and family were perfect guests, communicating graciously, leaving everything in good order, and even fixing a little problem with thermostat batteries. I would welcome them back very happily! Brian aptly described the setting - rural yet not isolated. This is not necessarily everyone's cup of tea, but it is certainly a great country escape (with the added allure of beautiful landscaping and gardens in spring, summer, and fall).

Magical!! Peaceful Retreat!

What a beautiful property! It had everything we needed for a lovely stay in a bucolic setting. The gardens and fire pits and the peace of the creek!!! Everything is well thought out and accessible, Alyce was the perfect host, responsive and kind. Did I mention the magical gardens? The birds? The fire pits and the gentle flow of the creek?

Fabulous find

Penbuck Farm was a wonderful experience. A beautifully set old Bucks County stone farmhouse in an idyllic landscape, exquisitely decorated and full of amazing antiques and artifacts. Gorgeous views from every angle, a crystal clear creek, established flower gardens, two firepit areas, well equipped kitchen, we enjoyed every minute. Loved exploring this delightful area of the Delaware River valley.

Stunningly beautiful

My young adult children & I were just amazed at how beautiful the grounds were around this 18th c. restored farmhouse. I’m a little loathe to praise it here, for fear it will become overbooked... ah, I should mention that the wifi is spotty, so livestreaming movies & shows is impossible. But, teenagers engrossed by the variety of birds to be seen? Everyone entranced by all the lovely outdoor & indoor places to gather & view the gardens? Next time, bringing a fishing pole and river shoes to explore Cook’s Creek, right there.

This house makes me happy. I will return and would move in in a heartbeat. Alice is an inspired collector and decorator, and a helpful host. Alongside all the authentic period charm you will find a luxurious updated master bath and a kitchen equipped for a chef. Love it!

Tranquility and Peaceful

This was one of the best vacations ever. So peaceful and relaxing, taking us back in time leaving us yearning for the history of this home, farm and the folks who lived here from the beginning; 1790. Extremely clean and well maintained. What a joy it has been staying here.

BEAUTIFUL AND THE NICEST OWNERS!

Alyce and her husband were so accommodating, and their property is just immaculate! We had my family and my husbands siblings stay in the home with us, and it was one of the best trips we've had to PA to visit family, and having this home was a big component of it. Everything is so clean and the property is just beautiful! We have so much fun exploring and watching the creek. My 2 year old daughter was with us, and we had to keep a close eye on her because of all the antiques. However, we told Alyce that we had a small child with us, and her and her husband went through the house and made sure all of the easily knocked over items were stored away so we didn't have to worry about that. Everything was great, I do not have one complaint, honestly! Unfortunately, we are not able to come out to PA this Thanksgiving, but most likely we will be coming in 2017 and most likely this is the home we will be renting if it is available. Thank you again!
