About this property

Beautiful nature retreat directly bordering Fair Hill front & back!

Big windows and amazing views of the Fair Hill Natural Resource Management Area from every room in the house. Spacious living areas, with chef's kitchen, large dining area and light-filled living room with cathedral ceilings and big windows overlooking the surrounding park land.

New in 2022 - High Speed Internet! You can use the wifi to stream Netflix / Amazon Prime and other streaming services.

Miles of hiking, mountain biking or horse riding trails right out of the back gate.

Trails include ~75 miles of single track, grass fields and woods. Hear the owls in the evening, see foxes & deer from the kitchen window.

In addition to facilities listed, there is also an outdoor shower. Please note that the hot tub is out of service, so it has been removed from the list of amenities, and the price reflects that change.

Horse riding can be arranged through Fair Hill Stables.

If you want to bring your own horses, stalls may be available at the fairgrounds depending on the event schedule. Call the Fair Hill park office to book.

Overall a very nice home
Owner communicated well. There were bees in the guest room and we had to take care of ourselves. The lock code was not what was sent but changed it right away. The house is beautiful and the sun room is a great coffee spot. All of the cookware was very helpful to have!

Truly a Treasure!
This is our second time to stay here and find it perfectly appointed for our needs and close to the event we attend. Mornings on the porch with coffee in hand listening to the visiting birds is amazing. A favorite to be sure!

Lovely country home
This is a gorgeous, very well designed and built home, beautifully located, and within an easy drive of all the splendors of the Brandywine region. Very well appointed, comfy and quiet. And Hattie was a delight to be in touch with- very kind and helpful.
