Antiquing and Fine Dining Nearby
Your very own, completely private, Colonial Williamsburg-style cottage, near the Bucks County town of Yardley, Pennsylvania, right on the Delaware River. The Cottage is just 13 miles south of New Hope and Lambertville, 18 miles from Princeton, and 5-10 minutes from trains to Philadelphia and New York City. (Click here for a map.)
Furnished with 18th-century reproduction furniture and Oriental rugs, the Cottage is perfect for week-long vacations, weekend getaways, writer's retreats, and house-hunting visits. As many of our guests have said, this is the perfect place to unwind.
The Cottage living space (750 square feet, all on one floor) is ideal for a couple. But it also works for a family with one child, or for three close friends who don't mind sharing a bathroom.
There's a wonderful corner fireplace in the living room with raised paneling and a custom-built mantel. The sunny eat-in kitchen, though not designed for elaborate gourmet cooking, is equipped with everything our guests need to make basic meals and snacks.
The bedroom is furnished with a queen-size bed with crocheted canopy, matelasse spread, and 600 thread-count sheets. The "Tavern Room" off the kitchen provides a twin bed for extra sleeping space. (We don't call this a bedroom because it doesn't have doors or a closet. For a bit of privacy, there are blackout curtains at each of the two doorways, and blackout shades at the windows.) We also have a portable Graco crib and child's booster seat that we can have set up and ready for those traveling with an infant or toddler.
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!
Happy Travels,
Emily & Alfred Glossbrenner

The cottage was perfect for us in every way we could imagine. The location is very convenient to Yardley and the surrounding communities. It is beautifully furnished and decorated with appropriate period decor and conveniences for a stay. The backyard is very peaceful. We loved having our morning coffee outside and saw deer, squirrels, a baby red fox and heard many wonderful birds. We will definitely return for our next visit in New Jersey.
