Established in 1983 as a small bed and breakfast, we have grown into a 52-room luxury hotel featuring an award-winning restaurant and versatile event spaces. Our five historic buildings, dating from 1734 to 1929, have been meticulously restored to blend original architectural details with modern comforts. The Farmhouse, Stone Bank Barn, Corybeck, Thomas Wilson House, and John Roberts House each offer distinct accommodations ranging from studios to suites with spa tubs and private patios. Our expertise in hospitality is demonstrated through our sophisticated farmhouse ambiance, attentive service, and commitment to preserving historical integrity while meeting contemporary needs.We specialize in creating memorable experiences for weddings, corporate events, and leisure stays, supported by our culinary team's regional cuisine and our coordinators' event planning expertise. Located on twelve acres of landscaped grounds between Bucks and Montgomery Counties, we provide convenient access to Philadelphia while maintaining a tranquil rural atmosphere. Our team's deep understanding of hospitality management ensures guests receive personalized attention, from complimentary breakfasts to luggage assistance across our non-elevator-equipped historic buildings.
