Thank you for your review. Im sorry some pesky ladybirds emerged in the attic; springtime in a historic home! Im glad we had the cottage as an option for your guests. Im also glad you were able to collect the forgotten item we found.

Wonderful Thanksgiving Weekend!

Our group of 14 had a great time here. The home is expansive yet cozily furnished. Owners went out of their way to help us before our stay and the onsite property manager helped us during our stay.

Lacrosse weekend

The house was extremely well appointed, all dishes, plates, utensils needed, nice linens and towels- literally everything we needed. The host was very communicative and on site property manager very helpful. Hosts left a lovely welcome basket and drinks and made the weekend very easy with a flexible checkout. The property is also beautiful and outdoor spaces perfect for relaxing. Would stay again and again.

Friends Gathering

We are a group of friends from all areas from an hour away to a flight away. We needed accommodations that suited 14 adults and this did not disappoint. The home was beautiful inside and out. The homeowner as extremely easy to communicate with and started our stay with many staples, like coffee, eggs, butter etc. we will definitely be coming back!

The best vacation rental I've had.

As mentioned in the title, this was, without a doubt, the best vacation rental/lodging myself and my team has had. We traveled for work as we had an event in the area and were more than excited to come back to this place after a long day of work. From the start, the owners were incredibly helpful and great to communicate with. They also left a bunch of fresh fruits, local eggs, bread, and more for us upon check-in, and that was greatly appreciated. Everything was impeccably clean, there were ample rooms and bathrooms, and we felt perfectly safe in the area. We're definitely looking to book this place for the same time next year.

Thank you for your review. We would love to have you guys back as you left everything in immaculate shape. It’s a busy weekend locally with a car show and an horse show and we have had several enquiries, so if you would like to stay with us again, it might be wise to book soon. Safe travels

About the host

Hosted by Lawson

Host profile image
I’m a retired pharmaceutical CEO and, together with my partner, Michael, renovate neglected properties and gardens. We have full restored the Mansion to its magnificence and we love to share this beautiful property with our guests. We are both keen gardener’s and I’m originally from Scotland so the new gardens reflect a British cottage garden style. We have cleared brush from the water meadow to allow sweeping lawns leading to historic French Creek, the creek was used to power the forge in 1700

Why they chose this property

The bucolic location allows us to enjoy Chester County’s glorious fauna yet the property is only minutes away from numerous restaurants, shopping and historic sites

What makes this property unique

The Mansion is one of the best preserved examples of Georgian architecture in Chester County. Listed on the National Historic Register, the original cottage ( now the family room) is the oldest inhabited structure in our township. The entire property has been luxuriously renovatef and all original floors, panelling and beams have been lovingly retained and restored. A truely unique historic home.
