2 Bedroom House in New Hope

Nestled in the heart of beautiful, bucolic Bucks County, escape to this secluded two bedroom hide-away, offering a park-like country sanctuary, only 2 miles away from the bustling sister towns of New Hope and Lambertville, bridging the Delaware River, where you can shop, eat at gourmet restaurants and enjoy the nightlife. This casual and comfortable carriage house, situated on the 18th century estate of the John Van Dyke Homestead, includes a pool, tennis court and a fire pit. This is an antique house located in the countryside, with all of the attendant charms of the great outdoors. It is a paradise for nature lovers and those who enjoy encounters with the local fauna and flora.
Wake up to a relaxing coffee on the back deck, under a canopy of mature beech, pine and tulip trees. Walk the back field’s pathways watching for butterflies, birds, and deer, and forage for wild raspberries. Sit by the firepit, the perfect place to watch day give way to night. Hear the wind through the wings of the geese as they fly overhead and watch for the graceful herons. Fireflies will light up the summer night. All of which are the stuff of making great memories!
The history of the property began in 1770, as part of 200 acres owned by John Penn. George Washington’s troops encamped here during the Revolutionary War and the Van Dyke house was built in 1792. The owners previous to us, Don and Audrey Walker, resided here for 70 years, from 1935-2006. During this time, they founded and managed the largest gladiola farm in the US, trading under the name of Harmony Hill Farm. Don Walker was also a famous Broadway composer-arranger-orchestrator to such shows as Cabaret, Fiddler On the Roof, and Pajama Game. He also co-founded the Bucks County Playhouse. Frequent visitors included such luminaries as Oscar Hammerstein, Stephen Sondheim and Dorothy Parker.
We are one mile from a Delaware River park, 40 minutes to center Philadelphia and 70 minutes to NYC, 80 minutes to Longwood Gardens and Brandywine Art Museum (home to the Wyeth art collection). A gallery crawl, wine tour, antiquing, historic house tours, concerts and theatre events are all part of local offerings, along with activities at the many local parks, a fitness club, bicycle rentals or tubing on the river. Historic Philadelphia, 40 minutes to the center from Harmony Hill Farm, allows you to immerse yourself in colonial history and sample the culture of a cosmopolitan and vibrant city.

Summary: This place was the cutest! Quiet valentine celebration. It snowed and we walked the substantial property enjoying white, sparkling woods. We curled up by the comfy electric fireplace and enjoyed cooked meals in the more than adequate kitchen. Bed was comfortable and the shower nice and hot. Hosts were wonderful about preparing our stay by salting the stairs and the deck to keep us safe and communication was easy and excellent. We are hoping to come back over the summer to enjoy it in the summer months. Highly recommend.

Summary: Overall our stay was good. We especially enjoyed the deck where we had our morning coffee and talked for a couple of hours each morning. The deck was tree shaded and had comfy chairs. The inside was quite rustic. A few improvements could be made…mirrors in each bedroom would be nice. A recycling can would also be helpful. Chip helped us with our bags which was helpful and also gave us a bit of history about the place and the area. We saw a play at Bucks County playhouse which is well worth your time! We loved it!!

Summary: My sister and I had a long-weekend getaway that was peaceful and self-paced. The private large kidney-shaped pool was perfect in the afternoons during this current heat wave. We were able to walk the natural paths on the property and visit the Wildflower preserve down the street. Peddlers Village and downtown New Hope were a short distance and restaurants were plentiful. Chip and Nancy were wonderful hosts. Nancy’s artwork added to the peaceful stay in the carriage house.
