A wonderful place to call home for a few days while we visited family in Kennett Square and Chadds Ford. Easy access to Longwood Gardens (gorgeous even on rainy days), Brandywine Museum of Art, restaurants/shops, etc. Joelle and Peter were very responsive hosts who provided a well-kept space, perfect for our quick getaway: A clean, safe, cozy retreat set in a quiet, convenient neighborhood. Definitely hope to book this again the next time we're in the area!
