About

Escape to the Blue Lotus, a serene cottage located in walkable downtown Kennett Square and within minutes from the world-famous Longwood Gardens. Thoughtfully designed for rest and connection with deep rich color & themed around the Lotus flower, Lilly pads, Ferns, Birds & nature. This intimate retreat offers peaceful garden views, cozy luxury, and the perfect setting to unwind.

Good to know

Tucked on a quiet cul-de-sac just steps from our main home, The Blue Lotus offers the rare combination of privacy, walkability, and one-level living in the heart of Kennett Square. Stroll to local shops, restaurants, and cafés, and reach world-famous Longwood Gardens in just minutes. Surrounded by thoughtfully designed gardens, this peaceful retreat feels both connected and tucked away. Recently reimagined with deep, rich tones and layered textures, the cottage blends boutique design with everyday comfort. Every detail has been intentionally chosen to create a warm, inviting space that feels calm the moment you arrive. The queen bedroom is designed for exceptional rest. A luxurious fern-patterned duvet, vintage heron prints imported from Poland, floral vine bedside lamps, and a William Sonoma fern chandelier create a serene, garden-inspired atmosphere. Guests frequently comment on how comfortable the bed is and how deeply they sleep here. The living area invites you to settle in. A jewel-toned reading chair with flower-shaped ottoman offers a cozy corner to unwind, while the large drum coffee table anchors relaxed evenings. An Anthropologie rug in chocolate and soft floral tones adds warmth and softness underfoot. Small curated touches—like charming framed mushroom art—add personality without overwhelming the space. The flexible layout makes the cottage ideal for couples, solo travelers, business guests, and longer stays. A convertible desk transforms into a dining table for two, perfect for meals, remote work, or planning your Longwood visit. Strong Wi-Fi makes working here easy and reliable. The kitchen features quartz countertops, shimmering blue glass subway tile, and stainless-steel appliances—fully equipped for morning coffee, simple meals, or cozy evenings in. The spa-like bathroom includes a tiled glass shower, patterned flooring, and a private laundry room for added convenience. Step outside to your private patio with table and umbrella—ideal for morning coffee or relaxed evenings under the trees. Dedicated off-street parking makes arrival simple and stress-free. If you’re visiting Kennett Square for Longwood Gardens, a weekend getaway, business travel, or an extended stay, The Blue Lotus offers a refined, peaceful place to land—walkable, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed.

First of all, this was one of the cleanest airbnbs we’ve ever booked! The apartment was spotless and it was very comfortable. Secondly, Joelle really provides all the comforts! It’s obvious she cares about her guests. If you’re visiting during fall/winter, I recommend bringing a pair of slippers, as the floors were freezing, but 10/10 would recommend.

The Blue Lotus Cottage was a perfect place to stay in Kennett Square. Only a few block walk from all the shops and restaurants in town and a short drive to local destinations including Longwood Gardens. The cottage was very clean and well stocked. Joelle was very quick to respond to questions and offer suggestions for things to do in the area.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Joelle's pristine, charming cottage. Loved the privacy and homey feel of the fall surroundings and spaciousness of the cottage. Would highly recommend for a couple's get-away and respite from the outside world.
