About this property

On the River in beautiful Bucks County-near large wedding venues &historic sites

property video: https://youtu.be/xpEEqj6iSmA

Built into the banks of the Delaware River and overlooking the widest part of the river in Bucks County this hidden oasis is less than two miles off Rt. 95 and less than a mile from the Penn Ryn or Glen Foerd wedding venues. For young families we are fifteen minutes to Sesame Place and for History buffs we are fifteen minutes to the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall; 15 minutes to William Penn's Home, 30 minutes to Washington's Crossing, 35 minutes to Valley Forge. If you want to see the arts New Hope is 35 minutes and if you want to stray further afield New York City is an hour by car or train. The property is easily accessible by car (less than 2 miles off Rt 95) or train (3 minute Uber from the station) or boat (tie up to the modern and completely renovated dock and walk up the steps to your river front home). And if you do not want to go site-seeing just relax on the river in an indolent fashion. Perfect for a couple on a get away, two couples or a young family (the bunk beds are always a favorite for the youngest set). Make a luxurious breakfast and sip your coffee as you sit in your dining room perched over the river with glorious vistas up and down the river. Or just step onto the porch if you want to eat outside. You may watch the Eagles living a few hundred feet down the river fishing for their breakfast or the Peregrine Falcons living just along the river to the north doing the same. At night just sit by the fire and enjoy a book or a game and a nice glass of wine. Whether you want to get away from the world or travel to Philadelphia to see all of the historical sites this is your escape or your headquarters. Enjoy either way or come back and enjoy both ways.

The "Wow" Factor
My husband and I were looking for a special place to have a small "nano-wedding" ceremony and sign our self-unionizing marriage license. This place "wow'ed" me from the moment I saw it on the Vrbo app and kept "wow'ing" me throughout our visit. The hosts were incredibly kind and helpful. The location is gorgeous and as pictured. We plan to be back again to celebrate anniversaries!

Comfortable and convenient
The River House was in a beautiful location. Our family was attending a wedding in the area. We had plenty of room both inside and outside the house to be comfortable for a long weeknd! Tom and Sharon were very gracious hosts! We wish we had more free time to hear more of the history surrounding the property! Our family would definitely consider visiting the River House in the future!

A Peaceful Getaway with Stunning River Views
My wife and I recently spent seven days at Tom and Sharon’s property on the banks of the Delaware River in Bensalem, Pennsylvania. The view of the river was lovely, and we enjoyed eating on the deck watching the birds and the boats. The cabin was quiet and cozy. However, there were some disappointments. For example, the property description said that the cabin included a washer and dryer. The description did not say that the washer and dryer were located down steep, uneven outside stairs that were in disrepair. We did not feel safe using the stairs, so we did not use the washer and dryer. The property description listed a grill, but we discovered that the grill was dirty and quite a distance from the cabin. We never used it. The deck had holes in the side railing and in the floor that could pose a danger to young children. The cabin is located 30 minutes or less from Center City Philadelphia which gives you easy access to many historical, cultural and sporting sites. During our stay, we visited the South Street Market, the Barnes Collection, a Cuban jazz concert at the Abington Arts Center and dinner at the Victor Café in South Philadelphia. Basic kitchen utensils were supplied (only 4 glasses) and the cabin was clean when we arrived. We appreciated the HEPA air filters that run throughout the cabin. In our opinion, this property is a work in progress. As such, we felt the price we paid was high considering the condition of the property. Tom and Sharon are open to suggestions and are working on the property. It will eventually be a superb getaway.

Great Riverbank location, ideal getaway spot!
Very excited with our stay here. Master bedroom is a delight. Outside area very scenic, photographic and relaxing. Owners Tom & Sharon are great to communicate with. They are in the process of fixing up some of the areas but it wasn’t much of a hindrance for us. We wanted a place that was different from our every day life so we could sit back, relax and enjoy life and this fit the bill. We stayed the 4th of July weekend and where able to enjoy the fireworks across the river in Jersey. Would definitely stay here again.
