We had family in from out of town and this was a perfect spot for us to stay and relax. Canal towpath for running, walking and bike riding was beautiful and peaceful. Great to put the canoes to use as well! Was a great space for a family getaway.

We had a wonderful stay at Thomas’s property! The house is old but beautiful, full of character and charm. We especially loved the beautiful artwork displayed throughout the home, which is also available for purchase. The spacious outdoor area and great amenities made our stay even more enjoyable. Thomas was responsive and accommodating, and we really appreciated being offered an early check-in. The only area that could use some attention is the plumbing. The sink in the common bathroom drained very slowly, and the water pressure was quite low, causing the toilet tank to take 10–15 minutes to refill before it could be flushed again. Aside from these issues, we had a lovely time and truly enjoyed the charm and character of the property.

Hoping to return in the future because I don't believe I spent enough time here to enjoy all the amenities. The loft area with the projector screen was so cozy and made for the best movie night after exploring New Hope, Pa.

Beautiful Home with tons of character. The size of the land is amazing. We had a great time sitting by the fire pit and enjoying the calm. Tom is a great host who was very easy to communicate with. Would definitely stay again when we visit the area.
