Just beautiful
Came here with family for a long weekend. The house was clean, warm and well stocked. The deck in particular was amazing - just so relaxing. It was raining / overcast for our entire stay but I was still mesmerized. I can only imagine how nice it is in the summer. Judy is really communicative and accommodating, though we didn't anything from her during the trip. Would definitely recommend this house.

Great last minute stay
Wonderful pplace. Quiet for being as ckise to the main road. The only thing we werent find of was there were dogs on the premises and my one dog doesnt do well with dogs she isnt acclimated with. So we just had to keep our pups close to us most of the time when outside, where typically we prefer to lwt them run or walk off leash besides us when it us safe to do so and we are away and exploring. Comfortable and clean. Highly recommend, especially with the location being so close to everything.

Mini Break to Bucks County
Our family made a last minute decision to head down to Bucks County over New Years weekend and the host, Judy, was incredibly accommodating, letting us check in early to beat the weekend traffic. We had a terrific stay at this wonderful cottage by the river and enjoyed spending time outdoors by the firepit. I would recommend this property to anyone looking to spend time in Bucks County, we had a great trip!

Fantastic stay on the water
I stayed at this cozy and fantastic property over the weekend and had an excellent time. It was a foggy and rainy weekend and Judy made sure the house was stocked with plenty of firewood for both the indoor and outdoor fire places! The home is very clean and neat and has wonderful energy. The bedrooms and bed were spacious and comfortable and looking out to the water was very relaxing. I will definitely be booking again! There are so many fun books and board games in the house- we never had to leave!

Why they chose this property

Historic Bucks County! Yardley. The site was named after the extraordinary outcropping of gray bedrock which protrudes from the ground at the northwest end of the site, this guest house is built on this outcropping of stone! We are steeped in history here.
This is probably one of the most unique back deck properties up or down the Delaware River! You will leave refreshed and inspired. Hot summer, kayak in the river; fall, enjoy the leaf-peeping; winter, cross country ski on the canal path. All seasons offer any visitor a beautiful stay...we knew we would live here before we even stepped out of our car.

What makes this property unique

Spectacular stone terrace overlooking the river is "THE" feature... sit all day, enjoy a dinner under the stars!

SO CLOSE, YET SO FAR!!
We are 5 minutes from the Trenton Train station, which hosts the local trains local to Philadelphia/NJ, and the AMTRAK trains that traverse across the USA. We are also close to the Yardley Train station. We have taxis and cabs AND UBERS! that travel our streets. We are at close proximity to the Philadelphia, and NJ/NY, Princeton and Mercer County airports as well. (Mercer Airpot is only 8 miles away)
