Romantic Riverfront Cottage in Bucks County, PA

Your very own Colonial Williamsburg-style cottage, with a wood-burning fireplace in a park-like setting on the Delaware River, 13 miles south of New Hope and Lambertville and 5-10 minutes from trains to Philadelphia and New York City.

Furnished with 18th-century reproduction furniture and Oriental rugs, the cottage is perfect for week-long vacations, weekend getaways, writer's retreats, house-hunting visits, or temporary lodging for relocated execs. It's ideal for a couple, but it also works for a family of four, or three close friends who don't mind sharing a bathroom.

The bedroom has a four-poster queen-size bed with crocheted canopy, matelasse spread, and 600 thread-count sheets. The 'tavern room' off the kitchen provides extra sleeping space, with a twin bed and pop-up trundle, and a place to use your laptop. The sunny eat-in kitchen, though not designed for elaborate gourmet cooking, has everything you'll need to prepare simple meals.

There really is no place like our Bucks County Cottage on the Delaware, and we love sharing it with like-minded souls. Come visit us soon!

If you need help planning your visit to Bucks County, spend some time exploring the Bucks County Visitors Bureau and Bucks County Alive Web sites. Another great source of "insider advice" on memorable restaurants and things to do in Bucks County is Jim Flynn's Best Weekends.

Guest Comment

"Spending time in Emily and Alfred's cottage felt like a step back in time but with all the conveniences of today. We enjoyed the beauty of the Delaware River along with the charm of historic Yardley. Emily thought of everything - recommendations for restaurants (plus coupon), directions to some excellent specialty grocery stores, information on the best activities the area has to offer. The cottage is conveniently located to places like New Hope, Peddler's Village, and Newtown. Thanks to the fresh flowers on the kitchen table, the essentials for our first morning's breakfast and the luxurious sheets, you will feel pampered and rested at the end of your visit. We will certainly be back."
