On the River in beautiful Bucks County-near large wedding venues &historic sites

property video: https://youtu.be/xpEEqj6iSmA

Built into the banks of the Delaware River and overlooking the widest part of the river in Bucks County this hidden oasis is less than two miles off Rt. 95 and less than a mile from the Penn Ryn or Glen Foerd wedding venues. For young families we are fifteen minutes to Sesame Place and for History buffs we are fifteen minutes to the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall; 15 minutes to William Penn's Home, 30 minutes to Washington's Crossing, 35 minutes to Valley Forge. If you want to see the arts New Hope is 35 minutes and if you want to stray further afield New York City is an hour by car or train. The property is easily accessible by car (less than 2 miles off Rt 95) or train (3 minute Uber from the station) or boat (tie up to the modern and completely renovated dock and walk up the steps to your river front home). And if you do not want to go site-seeing just relax on the river in an indolent fashion. Perfect for a couple on a get away, two couples or a young family (the bunk beds are always a favorite for the youngest set). Make a luxurious breakfast and sip your coffee as you sit in your dining room perched over the river with glorious vistas up and down the river. Or just step onto the porch if you want to eat outside. You may watch the Eagles living a few hundred feet down the river fishing for their breakfast or the Peregrine Falcons living just along the river to the north doing the same. At night just sit by the fire and enjoy a book or a game and a nice glass of wine. Whether you want to get away from the world or travel to Philadelphia to see all of the historical sites this is your escape or your headquarters. Enjoy either way or come back and enjoy both ways.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a fenced private yard.

The view of the Delaware River is wonderful from both the upper & lower level of the house. Both bathrooms were recently renovated and very nice. There are some serious safety concerns regarding the outdoor deck and walkway. The wooden railing and floorboards of the deck were severely deteriorated and we didn’t feel it was safe to use. The walkway pavers were loose and uneven so we felt more comfortable walking through the grass. This home has a lot of potential and hopefully improvements will be made in the near future.

Beautiful stay by the river

We stayed at Tom and Sharon’s river house for a bachelorette trip and loved the views and quaint house. We commented many times that we felt like we were on a river cruise! Tom was very quick to respond and accommodating leading up to our trip, but we were slightly confused by the check in process as we received a code for the door but also instructions telling us to come to the front porch to get a key and instructions of how to get to the property. We knocked on what we presumed to be the right house and did not receive and answer and then attempted to contact both numbers listed with the property but did not receive an answer. We ended up figuring out how to get to the property and ended up hearing back from Tom about 15 minutes later.

Beautiful river views from the dining room and sitting room. Clean place, comfy beds, close to our destination. Great stay overall. A couple in my group had a hard time finding the right driveway, but the goat was very quick to respond, helpful and friendly. Will look to book again for this event next year. Thanks.

Idyllic setting!

The River house was such a beautiful setting! Made you feel you were very secluded yet so close to everything. Tom and Sharon were super hosts! Quick to respond and very caring of their guests. Our grandchildren loved being able to run around and skip rocks on the water. Would love to read the history of the house and the surroundings!

Relaxing place to stay

The property was set up very nice for a small group. The neighborhood was peaceful. The property was spacious and had a nice outdoor sitting area to enjoy the grounds around it. I would recommend stopping at the Broken Goblet Brewery just right down the road. Close to restaurants and easy to get to Philli.

Slice of Heaven

My brothers and I took my 85 yr old mother for a vacation to Pennsylvania to "find her roots" this month and we spent 3 days at Tom's property on the river. We enjoyed the accomodations and of course the scenery. Driving through the beautiful autumn leaves was wonderful as well! We definitely recommend this property! By the way, our master bed had a biomat ontop of the mattress on the 1st night. It made the bed very hard. We let Tom know that it was too hard and he immediately removed it. No problems after that!!

Great for local wedding

Tom and Sharon’s place was perfect for attending a wedding in the area. The place is older but was pretty clean. The property is cool and view of the river is relaxing. I appreciated the safety gate for the steps because we have small children. I would recommend they add some more drinking glasses and new pans.

The "Wow" Factor

My husband and I were looking for a special place to have a small "nano-wedding" ceremony and sign our self-unionizing marriage license. This place "wow'ed" me from the moment I saw it on the Vrbo app and kept "wow'ing" me throughout our visit. The hosts were incredibly kind and helpful. The location is gorgeous and as pictured. We plan to be back again to celebrate anniversaries!

A Peaceful Getaway with Stunning River Views

My wife and I recently spent seven days at Tom and Sharon’s property on the banks of the Delaware River in Bensalem, Pennsylvania. The view of the river was lovely, and we enjoyed eating on the deck watching the birds and the boats. The cabin was quiet and cozy. However, there were some disappointments. For example, the property description said that the cabin included a washer and dryer. The description did not say that the washer and dryer were located down steep, uneven outside stairs that were in disrepair. We did not feel safe using the stairs, so we did not use the washer and dryer. The property description listed a grill, but we discovered that the grill was dirty and quite a distance from the cabin. We never used it. The deck had holes in the side railing and in the floor that could pose a danger to young children. The cabin is located 30 minutes or less from Center City Philadelphia which gives you easy access to many historical, cultural and sporting sites. During our stay, we visited the South Street Market, the Barnes Collection, a Cuban jazz concert at the Abington Arts Center and dinner at the Victor Café in South Philadelphia. Basic kitchen utensils were supplied (only 4 glasses) and the cabin was clean when we arrived. We appreciated the HEPA air filters that run throughout the cabin. In our opinion, this property is a work in progress. As such, we felt the price we paid was high considering the condition of the property. Tom and Sharon are open to suggestions and are working on the property. It will eventually be a superb getaway.

Great Riverbank location, ideal getaway spot!

Very excited with our stay here. Master bedroom is a delight. Outside area very scenic, photographic and relaxing. Owners Tom & Sharon are great to communicate with. They are in the process of fixing up some of the areas but it wasn’t much of a hindrance for us. We wanted a place that was different from our every day life so we could sit back, relax and enjoy life and this fit the bill. We stayed the 4th of July weekend and where able to enjoy the fireworks across the river in Jersey. Would definitely stay here again.

Relaxing Cabin on the River

Sharon and Tom are wonderful caretakers that have started on a journey to restore this beautiful property to its historical roots. The cabin is peacefully situated right on the Delaware River, and a great place to watch the tide come in. The wildlife you will see off the deck is amazing. The Cabin is clean, and comfortably stocked with plenty of amenities. If your looking for a great way to be close to northeast Philly but away from the grind of the city, the location is perfect. A quiet oasis to recharge, Thank you for a wonderful stay.
