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.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as a water park or take in the view from a garden.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

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!

Comfortable and convenient
The River House was in a beautiful location. Our family was attending a wedding in the area. We had plenty of room both inside and outside the house to be comfortable for a long weeknd! Tom and Sharon were very gracious hosts! We wish we had more free time to hear more of the history surrounding the property! Our family would definitely consider visiting the River House in the future!

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.

Beautiful property on the lake. Please note*** if privacy is a concern...during our visit there were no window treatments on any of the windows throughout the property except the master bedroom that had sheer, tie-back panels.

House with serene river views
The house is at the edge of the Delaware river and has great views of the river from the living room on the ground floor and the dining area on the lower floor. The hosts, Tom and Sharon, were very generous and gracious. We enjoyed viewing the abundant birds in the area.

Best Views of the Delaware River
You can get great views of both villages as well as watch the boats and tubbers float by. The best part is that the shopping and dining are fantastic on both sides.

The Perfect Getaway !
Our stay could not have been more perfect! The house and the River were even more beautiful in person. The host were great with communication and very welcoming! Very accommodating. I would recommend renting for a family with children, a small friends group or even time away with a partner.
