A charming Victorian-era town
The small town of Milford lies on the edge of Pennsylvania, just on the border with New York state. It sits on the banks of the Delaware River and the northern tip of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, with its mountains and beaches. It was founded in the mid-18th century, but quickly became a weekend vacationer spot for rich New Yorkers who were drawn in by the clean air and pristine countryside. Many Milford vacation rentals are housed within lovingly restored Victorian-era properties. Need to get away from the big city? Milford's got you covered.
67,000 acres of park to discover
The Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area lies right on the doorstep of Milford vacation rentals. Here, you'll have easy access to more than 67,000 acres of river valley and forested mountain to explore. You can lace up your hiking boots and go walking along the countless miles of trails which pass tumbling waterfalls and cross through hemlock forests, habitats used by a plethora of wildlife. This includes a swathe of the vast Appalachian Trail, a bucket list hike for any rambler. Alternatively, jump on your bike to ride along the vast stretches of scenic roadways.
The famous 'bloody Lincoln flag'
Ambling along the handsome tree-lined streets in Milford, a town packed with pretty Victorian architecture, is a must-do activity in itself. Near Milford vacation rentals is the Columns Museum, home to the Pike County Historical Society. Open on several days a week throughout the year, the museum's most famous attraction is the 'bloody Lincoln flag' on which the assassinated President's head once lay, as well as a collection of belongings from the mathematician and philosopher Charles Sanders Pierce. It's a fascinating place that's well worth a visit.
Book quick to avoid disappointment
If you're going to nab a Milford vacation rental in late spring or summer, you'll need to book up early. The town swells during this time with vacationers looking to hike the trails or swim along the river. However, this isn't the only time worth going to Milford. In fall, the forested Delaware Recreation Area bursts into color, and is wonderfully scenic. You can pull out the rod and lure and settle in for a peaceful afternoon. Winter gets cold, but if you bundle up, there are plenty of snowy activities to keep you occupied from snow-shoeing to skating.
Watch great blue herons
From your Milford vacation rental you can easily reach the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, whose habitats range from river bends to ridgetops and supports a diverse list of wildlife species. Solitary black bears amble along the forest floors while tiny ruby-throated hummingbirds swoop around the trees. You can watch great blue herons wading into the waters in search of fish, of which there are over 60 species which swim along the rivers. As nightfall descends, the nocturnal species awaken and include raccoons, foxes and several species of bat.
