Bucks County All Season River Home

Every year I plan a retreat for my girlfriends who fly in From the UK, Montreal and Ohio. This year we were fortunate enough to rent Joan's home and I do mean HOME. This property is located on the beautiful Delaware River and is perfectly appointed. The gourmet kitchen is fully stocked and the appliances are state of the art. The bedrooms are warm and cozy, the perfect place to retreat after a full day of shopping. If I had known how wonderful this home was, I would have skipped staying a few days in Philadelphia and would have stayed exclusively at 'Joans'. We didn't have time to build a fire in the fire pit or to use the canoe. We did manage to enjoy the grill on the upper deck and have cocktails under the stars. Best of all, there is an elevator to transport your luggage to the upper floors! We all voted that if we were ever to return to Pennsylvania - this is where we would stay. Thank you Joan for making our vacation perfect!

We have spent two weeks (end Sep - beg Oct) in this home. We live in Switzerland and are lucky to be used to high quality standard of living and equipment. We were looking for a place that would meet those standards in addition to being big enough for a family with a toddler, plus visiting relatives, from ages 3 months to 80 years old. We also wanted a location in a beautiful setting, where it was easy to take day trips to more buzzing locations such as NY or Philly - yet have the possibility of the house as a retreat. Well, this house MET ALL OUR EXPECTATIONS and MORE!
First we were amazed at how well furnished it was - yet in this quiet location. Then we discovered the river - and the areas surrounding. Well in two weeks we never had a boring day! We had a wonderful time with family, cousins as well as grand-parents - coming from all over the world. This house is great for all, young or less young who wish to have a relaxing family time in a very comfortable home.
The "home" feeling is very true and especially enhanced by the amazing care the owner takes of the place. It is really well suited to renters - all being very well organized "just look for what you need and it will probably be there" we were told - and it was true! Even the closets are totally emptied aside from the many hangers and luggage rack just waiting for the renters to use. The house is furnished in such a way that it feels like a home - but without the feeling of intruding in someone's place - just perfectly organized so that you can feel it is "your" home for the time you are renting.
One last note for the kitchen and elevator: both beautiful (couldn't imagine an elevator being so nice) and practical. Your holiday there will certainly be effortless - as there is all to help you get organized really efficiently and enjoyably! Don't think twice before saying yes!

We've just returned from spending a week at this marvelous house. Both my husband and I say this house is perfect in every way: the setting, the view of the Delaware, the location, the decor, the comfort. This was our annual family vacation which including our children and grandchildren. The Delaware River Tow Path is literally in the back yard and I really enjoyed long walks on the path - walking some 6 miles up and down with great views of the river. I also loved going out in a kayak on the river. Great places to eat in the area. I rarely end a vacation saying I wish I could stay longer. That's exactly how I felt. The owner is incredibly gracious in making certain we had all that we needed for our week. Being there you realize this is a home and not just a house.
