Why Kurt Miller chose New Hope

This property originally belonged to my husband's grandfather, Dr. George Morley Marshall who thought it such a beautiful countryside to paint that he called his boyhood friend and artist, William Lathrop and sold a portion of the property to Lathrop, thus began the School of Pennsylavania Impressionists here in the New Hope/ Phillips' Mill area. Soon after, Lathrop sold a few acres to Morgan Colt. who was a well known architect, painter, woodworker, and iron worker. Morgan Colt then began building this extrodinary little English Village to be his residence. We purchased this property in 1995 and in 2010 decided to make two of the cottages available to rent on VRBO (Gothic Cottage) seen here and (Herringbone Cottage) also listed on VRBO. Please ask for our brochure which has photos and discription of both of our rental Cottages here.

Situated on one of Bucks County's most fabled properties in the historic hamlet of Philips Mill, Pa. and jusy 1.5 miles from downtown New Hope, Pa. sits our private Medieval English village. Renowned Achitect, Painter, Iron worker, and Wood wooker, Morgan Colt built this extraordinary village at the turn of the century to be his residence. To veiw both of our rental cottages here in our village: ( go to www.vrbo.com/356847 ) There are many great restaurants, art galleries, antiques and live music. Being that we are located on the cannal, you can walk or ride your bikes on the towpath one mile into downtown New Hope, PA or Stockton, NJ. In Stockton there is an 'indoor' great farmers market which is open on weekends all year. New Hope is a famous river town that dates back before the revolution. For over 100 years, New Hope has been a well known art community. Another main attraction is the local 'Bucks County Playhouse which was home away from home to many of Hollywood's greates stars in the 1940's and 1950's many of whom later made New Hope their home.

Other Activities: If you like shopping, then you'll love New Hope, Pa. Located just a 5 minutes down the road is Peddler's Village. It was originally built to look like a Colonial village with 80 unique quaint little shops dotted along the meandering herringbone brick walkways. All thoughout the shopping village are beautiful gardens with waterfall fountains and koi ponds. Great restaurants there too...

and if thats not enough, you also have all the outlet stores just across the street!

Also right nearby are two great flea markets for those who like to get up early on Tuesday or Saturday mornings to get the good stuff :-)

We also have 8 wineries that give tours, one great art museum (Michener Art Museum) and two other museums which are castles: Font Hill Museum and Merser Museum. In addition to everything else, we have all kinds of historic tours you can take, boat rides on the river, a train ride on an old steam engine that takes you through the heart of Bucks County OR watch a local polo match...

A perfect stay

5 of 5
Submitted: May 13, 2013 Stayed: May 2013
Thank you to our wonderful hosts for providing such an enchanting place to stay. It was hard to leave the cottage and its beautifully peaceful surroundings to take advantage of the local shops, restaurants, bike trails and other attractions. We loved everything about the weekend and would recommend it to anyone. The pictures didn't do it justice! And they certainly don't convey the incredible sense of local history you get when staying there. Thanks again.

Our friends stayed in one cottage and my husband and I in the other. They were both very clean and well-appointed. The tiny village had loads of charm. Our hosts, Eleanor and Kurt were extremely friendly and helpful. New Hope was very close by. We had a lovely stay and would highly recommend this rental.

Fairytale Setting

5 of 5
Submitted: July 16, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
We were so impressed when we first saw the cottage and the little village that surrounds it. It was well tucked away so no one could find us, as if we had stepped into a storybook. The gardens were beautiful, the area was extremely quiet and afforded us the perfect weekend away from it all. The cottage was well equipped and extremely clean, it was a great value. We were able to ride our bikes along the canal path, which was extremely accessible, and were a stone's throw from the towns of New Hope and Lambertville. The owners were extremely helpful in getting us settled and clued us in on the Friday night fireworks that happen in the summertime (quite a nice display!). This was a perfect romantic getaway, we didn't want to leave.
