Perfect Retreat, Perfect Place

Scribe Philadelphia, PA
Review Submitted: December 19, 2008 Date of Stay: December 2008
I just completed a five night stay there that was absolutely perfect. I went for work, needing a quiet place and no worries and I got that plus a lovely home and wonderful care from Emily. I have stayed in many rentals over the years and it simply doesn't get better than this in terms of thoughtfulness and preparation and little touches. The master bedroom and bath are elegant and the bathroom is quite large. The bedroom is not large but it's a good size and beautiful. The fireplace in the sitting room is a terrific extra. The property is clean, well decorated and atmospheric. The kitchen is small but entirely adequate for anything, really and was partially stocked for my first day. All in all this is a wonderful, charming property. The thoughtful care provided by the owners/hosts makes this a truly special place.

Picture this: Colonial surroundings, blazing fireplace, fresh flowers, attention to detail in all respects, 600 count crisp sheets, “starter kit” with fresh OJ, coffee and other treats, tour suggestions galore, and even bars of Yardley soap in your own Yardley rental home in Bucks County, PA. If that is what you are looking for-look no more. Would rent this cottage again and again!

Happy New Year!

Review Submitted: January 6, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
We spent New Year's Eve at the cottage and had an absolutely wonderful time. From the curious wildlife to peaceful river side evenings to the cozy fireplace, this cottage has everything you want and expect. It is apparent that the owners love Bucks county and are eager to share it by providing the perfect accommodations for doing just that. The cottage has all the amenities and information you want and would expect if you were to do this yourself. This comes as no surprise since the owners literally wrote the book on it. They make it so easy to immerse yourself in life as a Bucks County resident that you feel as if you've been living there for years in only a few short days. This made it very difficult to leave! But it will make the decision to do it all over again an easy one to make. It's the perfect location in a charming town which is a short hop from Philly and a great launching pad to the rest of Bucks County and all it has to offer.

Review Submitted: October 12, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
Recommended. An ideal location for a holiday, which allowed us to visit Philadelphia (park your car at the local station & take the train into the city.......it couldn't be easier) & explore the surrounding countryside. The cottage is very comfortable, well equipped & is in a peaceful location. We particularly enjoyed the resident family of deer - fascinating to watch from the kitchen window......however, they didn't appear so keen on us!

Wonderful Home Away from Home

Rockmom Grove City
Review Submitted: July 15, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
Truly a wonderful home for a relaxing experience. All you need are your clothes as the fully furnished home is complete with linens and a very functional kitchen with dishes and utensils. Whether you want to enjoy the peaceful surroundings or use as a home-base to take in all that the area offers, this is a remarkable place.

I spent three weeks at this wonderful home away from home. It was totally relaxing and a pleasant experience. This was my first time but certainly not my last. I enjoy the fact that there was so much to do in the area, but it was as easy just to stay home and relax. I enjoyed being away from the hustle and bustle of life. The time flew by!

Review Submitted: July 8, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
Your cottage was just perfect for our family of four! You made us feel so welcome and right at home beginning with our first contact over the phone. From your willingness to visit and be available when needed to the cookies and dolls you put out for the kids, you added such a personal touch. It was just fun! Your knowledge and resources of the area were fantastic. The location and the accommodations of the cottage were excellent. Your requirements for reservations, payment, check-out, etc. were simple, clear, and reasonable. We had a wonderful vacation and left feeling like we had made a new friend.

We loved staying at this adorable cottage. We have rented many places, in the US and overseas, and this experience was the most well organized and cared for by our host. We appreciate your thought and helpfulness and look forward to returning. Bucks county is beautiful, with lots of interesting things to do and nice people.

We just recently stayed at another VRBO property in Laguna Beach & it reminded us of the fabulous time we spent at this property almost two years ago! The cottage is beautifully decorated, quiet & quaint, and well-located and well-equipped. The Glossbrenners were fabulous hosts & richly deserved our praise, and we feel badly we didn't know about this option on the VRBO website until now to give it to them! Thanks for the memories!

What a Peaceful Winter Hideaway!

Review Submitted: February 11, 2007 Date of Stay: January 2007
We are overwhelmed by your amazing hospitality. Not one detail is missing. The Cottage is wonderful and beautifully decorated. Thank you for giving us a few days of peace and rest to hide away. We wish we could stay longer, but we miss our baby! We will be back with her and will highly recommend you to our friends and family.
