Wild yet serene, the Lodge rests on a hillside adjacent to a 60+ acre wildlife haven with a pond and creek running through. Nestled in a forest near the scenic and historic Brandywine Valley, this retreat affords you all the accoutrements of a mountain lodge, yet is nearby to high-end shopping, historic sites, outstanding restaurants and nightlife in the boroughs of West Chester, Chadds Ford and Kennett Square... Featured in 2018 Philadelphia Magazine, the Lodge has received accolades! Tom Bury (as seen on Restaurant Impossible and the Stone House Revival series on DIY Network) hosted his 2018 season wrap party here. Tom also built a bespoke king bed in the master suite with 100+ year old reclaimed wood... it is beautiful (and comfortable too). Rivers Cuomo (lead singer of Weezer) also stayed at the Lodge -- twice during the 2019 Weezer Tour. Others, who wish to remain nameless, have called the Lodge a home away from home. From the fully stocked professional chef's kitchen to the outdoor hot tub, relaxation and inspiration will be your companion at the Lodge. Enjoy your meals at the dining table in the Great Room with an amazing view of the forest, or al fresco on the deck or screened porch. With 5 bedrooms (and a sixth private space with 2 twin beds and a full size futon) and 4.5 baths, including a massive master suite with jetted tub, walk in shower and heated marble floors, the Lodge will delight you.. The seclusion and privacy of the property will enhance your experience! Rejuvenate in the outdoor hot tub and melt away your stress. A large outdoor deck allows for sunbathing and evening conversations around the gas fire pit, or build a bonfire in the second fire pit and eat some s'mores. There is also a third firepit on the screened in porch where you can relax and take in the nature around you, especially soothing while listeing to the rain, allowing you to enjoy a delicious meal at the spacious teak dining table. Take a walk through the woods and commune with nature, where wildlife abounds, including red foxes, red-tailed hawks, groundhogs, white tailed deer, an occasional bald eagle and many other varieties of beautiful and interesting songbirds and woodpeckers. For entertainment, there are many options: ...The Lounge has an antique pool table, dart board, large fireplace and many classic board games to while away the time. ...The Library is full of antique and contemporary books, many of which are focused on the US Civil War and other topics of American History. ...The Game Room has a ping pong table, an air hockey table, a foosball table and the requisite xBox One for the kids (or kids at heart!). Check out the listing details for all the amenities. The Lodge is perfect for more intimate events for up to 50 guests: a family reunion, a murder mystery party, birthday or holiday event. (please inquire for any events as addition fees may apply). If you have an event with more than 50 guests, we are excited to partner with a Michelin star chef (former executive chef at the Waldorf Astoira Hotel) to accommodate your needs. Chef Paul is able to host large events including weddings of up to 100 plus guests, at his beautiful barn in Chester County (please inquire). Chef is also available to design a bespoke menu for you and your guests, and will be your personal chef at the Lodge for smaller occasions of up to 50 guests. Please inquire about any events at the Barn or the Lodge, additional fees will apply. Also upon request we are partnered with an interior designer who will craft beautiful custom floral arrangements, per your desires, at an additional charge. There is ample parking for up to 10 cars in the driveway near the house. Any additional parking needs during an event will be discussed. Early check-in may be available for additional fees -- $400 after noon and $200 after 2pm - please inquire about availability. Early check in fees depend on time of check-in and availability. Please inquire prior to check-in. Late check out is also available for additional fees - $200 until 1pm and $500 until 4pm. Please inquire prior to check-in. The Lodge is idyllic during a snowstorm with a warm fire, while the autumn leaves changing color add to the beauty of the seasons. Spring brings new growth and late June and early July bring the harvest of the wild raspberries, always a delicious treat! Plenty of space to get away from the outside world. Stay, relax, rejuvenate....celebrate and enjoy! Looking forward to hearing from you and seeing you soon at the Lodge! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub - Massage ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Limited onsite parking (max 10 spaces) ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Breakfast available for a fee - Chef service - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 4 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Bidet - Hair dryer - Jetted bathtub - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo - Video games ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Wheelchair accessibility - Designated smoking areas - Note from host: Smoking is permitted outside. ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Meal delivery service ### Location highlights - In the mountains - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near an outlet shopping mall - On a river ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Billiards/pool table - Foosball table - Golf - Kayak - Table tennis - Tennis - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Sledding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 5,000 square feet ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/38000000/37790000/37788100/37788002/a55c0199.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Vacay in an Authentic Chadds Ford / Brandywine Valley / Longwood Gardens Chadds Ford - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 9.8 Exceptional 40 reviews CA $1,821 CA $2,402 total includes taxes & fees Oct 26 - Oct 27 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-26&endDate=2025-10-27&selected=37788002&PinnedHotelID=37788002&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Table tennis](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114950000/114944900/114944876/c2d2fe78.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Luxurious 5-bedroom 5.5 bath house with AC, WiFi in charming Chadds Ford Chadds Ford - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-05&endDate=2025-11-06&selected=114944876&PinnedHotelID=114944876&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor pool, a heated pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/90000000/89300000/89290500/89290498/32b22c91.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Idyllic 50 Acre Retreat w/ Pool, Tennis, Fishing; Built for XL Groups to Escape!

Eric is awesome enough to allow smaller parties at his home. This made our night so much fun and allowed everything to flow smoothly becomes of transit times. Would recommend this to anyone have a wedding there! ##### Nicholas E. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alyssa R.

The celebration was weekend long and it fit our whole family of 25 very comfortably. We had 8 people stay at the house the rest came each day for different events and it never felt crowded or that we didn't have enough space. There was plenty of seating both inside and out and the kitchen was fully stocked for making meals for a crowd. The neighborhood is beautiful and quiet and you feel like you're in the woods (while still being conveniently located to West Chester). Highly recommend staying here with a group! ##### Alyssa R.

If you have a big group, if you want lots of social space, if you want to be inside and out… this is the spot for you!! The kitchen and dining/living spaces are huge and open making it the perfect spot to hang out. The games are an added bonus! The woods are amazing! Eric is so easy to contact and work with. He responds immediately to all questions and even brought me a meat thermometer! ##### Lynn L. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alexa B.

The home is beautiful and comfortable for a large group, it didn’t even matter that it rained the entire time! We even canceled some of our day plans to stay and enjoy the house. The only minor down side was the water heater struggled keeping up with 14 woman’s daily hygiene needs. Overall, everything was so wonderful and Eric was very pleasant and accommodating. If you stay here you will never want to leave! ##### Alexa B. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Colleen H.

I even worked with the host to coordinate having the groomsmen over prior to the wedding. It was an amazing experience for all. Such a wonderful host with great communication, extremely accommodating and so friendly. Don’t let the house deceive you from the outside; it is extremely spacious inside and so comfortable. An absolutely unique experience. Such a stunning home with tons of history! I would definitely stay here again!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. ##### Colleen H.
