Photos and Description of the Yardley vacation cottage rental
1 Bedroom, 1 Bath, Sleeps 4 (2 in BR & 2 in small room off kitchen)

Your very own Colonial Williamsburg-style cottage with woodburning fireplace in a park-like setting on the Delaware River, 13 miles south of New Hope/Lambertville and 5-10 minutes from trains to Philadelphia and NYC. 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 canopy bed and 600 thread-count sheets. The 'Tavern Room' provides extra sleeping space (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. A/C, Washer/Dryer, WiFi Internet, TV/DVD. Bring your bikes (or rent them when you get here) and ride the Canal Towpath

About the Owners: We're Alfred and Emily Glossbrenner, professional writers who specialize in explaining things. We live and work in a 200-year-old farmhouse that shares our 3.5-acre riverfront property with the Cottage. Our books have sold over one million copies since 1975. One of our favorites is *About the Author*, a 'juicy bits' guide to 125 novelists of all genres, what to read first, what to read next, etc. Most recently, we've created a book/CD package called *How to Make Your Vacation Property Work for You! The Quick & Easy Guide to Advertising, Renting, Managing, and Making Money from your Second Home* (available from Amazon as well as our FullyBookedRentals website). Our books often change or enrich people's lives, and based on reader feedback, this one is no exception. Managing a property remotely isn't difficult, and you really don't have to pay 15 to 50 percent of your rental income in commissions!

How the Cottage Came to Be : When we bought this property 25 years ago, what is now the Cottage was essentially a U.S. Army signal shack that had been transported here as housing for farm workers. The farm had long since been transformed into a housing development. But a few nice book advances from Random House enabled us to transform the shack into what you see here. We hired a Bucks County cabinetmaker and his wife and son to do the work. Much of the wood is hand-planed and pegged, not nailed. The chair rail was cut with custom-made 'knives' created from an authentic 18th-century profile. The chimney was built by a master mason and his son using photos of chimneys in Colonial Willamsburg as a guide. And the crown moulding in the living room was supplied, in a roundabout way, by Donald Trump when one of his casino projects went bankrupt. The Cottage has been featured on the Fine Living Channel's 'Around the World in 80 Homes: Vacation Homes with Distinct Architectural Styles' (Episode FLAWH-211).

To Every Thing, a Season: It's probably part of being true believers, but even in the bleak mid-winter, this is a great place to be. We ourselves are fortunate to have working fireplaces in the living room, dining room, den, and bedroom in our 200-year-old home. We made certain that the cottage had a splendid fireplace in its 'front parlor' as well. So when the snow falls or the rain beats down, it is strangely enjoyable to be safe, snug, and warm--with a crackling fire and with nothing to do but enjoy yourself with a good book, VHS/DVD movie, or your favorite audio CD. Certainly that's how we feel about our home and about our cottage. Every season offers its own delights. And, being surrounded by the symmetry, intrinsic beauty, and visual harmony of 18th-century colors and design is a delight every month of the year.

About Emily and Alfred Glossbrenner

We're Alfred & Emily Glossbrenner, authors of over 60 commercially-published books with combined sales of over a million copies. One of our favorite titles is 'How to Make Your Vacation Property Work for You,' the very first book ever published on the subject of do-it-yourself vacation rentals. We've also created a membership site called FullyBookedRentals (fullybookedrentals dot com) that's designed to help new and experienced VR owners learn to advertise, market, and manage their properties effectively.

Emily and Alfred Glossbrenner purchased this cottage in 1987
Why Emily and Alfred Glossbrenner chose Yardley

Every location has its charms, but we have always been particularly charmed by Bucks County, PA. Historic sites, homes, and public buildings dating from the late 1600s on; the Delaware River, teeming with wildlife; the mule-barge canals with their towpath bike trails; European-style restaurants located in old inns; and easy access to New York and Philadelphia by train. Under the circumstances, how could we *not* have ended up buying a 200-year old Bucks County farmhouse on the Delaware River, complete with a rented bungalow, which we later turned into a vacation-rental cottage that we love sharing with guests from around the world.

What makes this cottage unique

It's like staying at one of Bucks County's legendary inns and B&Bs, except that you have the whole house to yourself. So you can sleep as late as you please, fix your own breakfast in the well-equipped kitchen, and come and go from your own private driveway. You can spend your days relaxing in the living room with views of the Delaware River and a crackling fire in the woodburning fireplace. Or sit outside on the English Garden Bench with a glass of wine and a good book. When you're ready to venture out, just head north on River Road to Yardley (2 miles) and New Hope/Lambertville (13 miles).

This charming cottage far exceeded our expectations in every way. What a lovely place!

  • Submitted: Jun 3, 2013
  • Stayed: May 2013
We had such a wonderful time and absolutely fell in love with this place. It is such a beautiful setting in an ideal location. Our 10 day stay went by way too quickly and we could have easily settled in for much longer. Owners Emily and Alfred have done an amazing job with attention to detail in every aspect. They truly make you feel extremely comfortable. The pictures really don't do justice to this charming cottage. We awoke early one morning to see deer grazing in the front yard and a red fox foraging in the back yard. On our walks and bike rides along the canal we saw horses, geese, swans, herons, and all kinds of songbirds. It was such a great way to start our day. The home was extremely clean, very well maintained, and loaded with many nice little details and amenities. We just loved that milk frother for our morning coffee! There is a wonderful book and game collection with lots of information about the surrounding area. There are so many things to do, places to see, and an awesome selection of great restaurants. We had so many wonderful meals and found it difficult to pick just one favorite. We quickly felt right at home here and would highly recommend it to anybody visiting the area. You will not be disappointed. Thanks Emily for all your helpful tips. We will be back to visit again!

My wife and I returned last weekend from a 3 day break at the cottage. It is such a beautiful and tranquil environment; one in which all can truly relax and take it easy. The log fire is a lovely feature and we highly recommend that everyone uses it.
Alfred and Emily are so pleasant and easy going - it made the whole experience even better. I would recommend the cottage to anyone looking to "get away from everything" or to be used as a base to explore Bucks county. It's excellent value for money.

This cottage is amazing! It has everything that you need and a little more. 5 stars at a 3 star price. Comfortable bed with the softest sheets, bath has big fluffy towels. It has all the charm and feel of an old colonial with modern features. The living room is comfortable and the fireplace adds to the warmth of the cottage. We loved just sitting by the fire and watching the deer from the windows. The owners; Emily and Alfed have thought of everything and their hospitality is beyond words. We will most definitely be back for a longer stay.

First of all, the house was spotless so for me, everything else was a wonderful bonus. It was small but beautiful with lovely furnishings, cozy bedding and tons of firewood. Our morning walks were shared with fowl and deer, including a buck. We enjoyed the local sights as well as taking the train to Philadelphia. To sum it up, the only thing more charming than the house, was the owner :)
