About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Riverwood Cottage on Bucks County state park.

A cozy guest cottage nestled in the heart of Bucks County's countryside.

Close to many picturesque river towns, including New Hope, Frenchtown and Lambertville. Its perfectly located for a brief getaway, business trip or leisurely vacation.

Come enjoy nature in our quiet and tranquil setting where you can fall asleep to the chirping of crickets and awaken to the melodic sound of songbirds.

Our 700 square foot guest cottage can comfortably accommodate 2 adults. There is plenty of space to rest, read, eat, or work. You also have access to the side yard if you'd like to feel the grass under your feet or lay on a blanket and look at the stars. To protect your privacy, we won't wander around on that side of the property during your stay.

Please note: You may hear us and our dogs in the main residence at times, however, we always strive to be as quiet as possible when guests are here.

The cottage is perfectly situated between the Delaware river and the Delaware canal. You'll get country views from every window with no visual distraction of other homes, aside from the main residence (which you can barely see when inside the cottage).

Kindly Accommodating

I actually rented the cabin for my mother for NYE, obviously that can be a tricky night to accommodate. The host was extremely communicative and helpful in every way to make this evening just wonderful for my mom. The cabin and location are beautiful. The hosts have a website that helped navigate the area & meals for that night and the next day. So grateful for her help! Would definitely recommend!

A Retreat for Nature and Contemplation

The Riverwood Cottage perfectly combined proximity to nature and outdoor activities - walking/hiking, biking, bird-watching, boating, swimming - with a serene and cozy home where one could spend many hours reading, writing, napping, and contemplating with pleasure and ease. (There is also a TV and online entertainment.) I was looking for such an escape and loved being there. The cottage itself is beautiful and thoughtfully put together, combining rustic antiques with modern comforts. It had everything you could want - even things you might not know you wanted - like Milano cookies and scented candles in every room! - and nothing extraneous or without purpose, which helped create a serene environment. I took advantage of the extra bath and beach towels, the shower with great water pressure, the kitchen table and window looking out to the big tree in the side yard, and the washer and dryer upstairs, among other things... and Kristine's artwork hanging throughout made it feel both personal and homey. Kristine is a very responsive host when I asked a question or needed some help, but was completely unobtrusive even though right next door - and it was nice to know that she and her partner were close by. I wish I could have stayed longer than three nights and made better use of the well-appointed kitchen to do some cooking! I look forward to my next visit.

Comfortable cabin in the Poconos.

Very nice cabin. Kristine was a great host. The access canoe was an added bonus. Would definitely stay here again.

Peaceful and Hospitable River Cottage

One of the most gracious hosts I've had the pleasure of experiencing in the many years of staying in various places. Kristine provides a fully stocked kitchen and bathroom with all the appliances, dishware, essentials, snacks, and drinks you could possibly need. The cottage is beautiful inside and out. The location is private and quiet. The patio with the grill is perfect for grilling during the summer. There is a pond nearby with a dock for launching the canoe that is provided complimentary. The canoe is also available to use on the Delaware River. Kristine is very accommodating to ensure your visit to the cottage is enjoyable.

Perfect Getaway

The cottage is tastefully decorated. Fully stocked pantry. Terrific Kitchen appliances. Short walk to the pond and the river. Our host provided a canoe and dropped it off and picked it up after our session on the pond. The light here is magical.

Great place to bike, kayak and relax

We loved everything about this place. We were able to kayak on the Delaware River and at the state park next door. The Delaware Canal towpath was a 2-minute bike ride away. Frenchtown NJ across the river offered two parks to hike in and a variety of good restaurants. The rural setting was quiet and peaceful. The cottage was immaculate and amazingly well-stocked. We were surprised to find breakfast makings and snacks. The hosts responded immediately to any questions we had. We definitely plan to return.
