Gorgeous Chalet on the Creek

My wife and I spent the weekend in Downingtown and rented this cute little place right on the Brandywine creek. It was a perfect little escape and the owners went out of their way to make sure our stay went well. Highly recommended and hope to stay here again in the summer.

The Boat House was perfect for me and the wife’s getaway for the anniversary weekend. The place was very quiet and gave us the privacy we needed for our getaway weekend. The boat house was a great location within walking distance to downtown and short drive to many local attractions.

Cute lil hidden spot

I really enjoyed my stay to the boathouse. I loved that it was in town but very secluded. The place itself is adorable. Perfect for a couple of 3 people to stay. I loved my personal note from the owners, small touches like these make my day! If the need aides I'll def stay again!

Cozy and cute

Nice little converted boathouse right on the river. The place was clean and furnishings were just right. Deck overlooking the river was a great feature. Nice thoughtful touches throughout. Super for a couple's getaway. Very walkable with quaint places nearby. Parking was a little dicey because of rain and unpaved drive, but perfectly suitable and convenient alternatives. Fits three -- two idyllically, three is a stretch.

Great spot for a getaway

This beautiful one bedroom is a finished room above a garage (boathouse). The expansive deck overlooks the east branch of Brandywine Creek. It's a great place to sit in the evening, or anytime for that matter. I took a nice dip in the creek. My wife and I took the place for four days as a getaway/disconnect vacation. The house is conveniently located a four-minute walk from downtown Downingtown. We had easy access to several good restaurants, including the Downingtown Diner, scene of the diner that was featured in the 1958 movie, The Blob. Within a ten-minute walk was a nice paved walking trail and very nice parks. Overall the location is great. Downingtown is quaint and you are close to the Valley Forge National Park and several cycling/walking trails. We also had a nice evening in Phoenixville, about 30 minutes away (home of the Colonial Theater, also featured in the 1958 version of the Blob). The apartment is nicely appointed, with a sitting room and dining area, kitchen, bedroom, and full bath with washer and dryer. We had several meals in the apartment and all necessary dishware etc. was provided. Our hosts were very gracious and quickly responded to all notes. Overall the stay was great, the place is great, and we had a great time there.

Love this spot in Downingtown!

I had friends come to town to visit, and was looking for a fun place for them to stay in the Borough. This was perfect! They really loved the spot and we had a nice cozy place for some quality girls weekend time. The hosts were incredibly communicative and made the whole process simple and easy. Now my son wants to have his own sleepover there in the future, because he was jealous of the great location on the water :-)

This little slice of perfection could have been a teeny tiny bit of a chore to find, but with the crystal clear communication of Michele and Mark, it was a breeze! Cute, clean and complete describe this little house on the brandywine. We enjoyed cooking, hanging on the deck overlooking the river, as well as all that downingtown had to offer. Next time i will be bringing my fly rod!

While the pictures for this listing do the property justice, we believe that feel of peacefulness cannot be captured on film. We came because of a wedding in the area, but we plan to came back and explore. Highly recommend !
