This is a magical house and property if you like animals, nature and historic houses. You are embraced by beauty and calm as soon as you reach the driveway. You can see the stars at night and hear the horses in the morning. Our stay was a special treat for our family. THANK YOU!
This was our second stay because our first was so fantastic. This time (a summer stay, our last was over Christmas) we got to enjoy the outdoors! Coffee in the morning on the back patio was just serene, we loved walking the property and watching the wildlife and overall just enjoyed the quiet privacy of the setting.

THANK YOU so much for coming back and sharing that you had a wonderful stay at Historic Buck Run Farm!!! It keeps evolving! Please keep coming back! L
It is a beautiful setting and secluded. The house is huge and all amenities are there. The furnishings are high end. The house is House Beautiful inside and out. The kitchen is fully stocked. It is better than a five star hotel!! It is pet friendly. My Labrador mix was happy!
Stunning property with beautiful grounds and plenty of space. The host was incredibly thoughtful. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway.
EVERYTHING was perfect! HIGHLY recommend booking this place. The host is amazing and the place is gorgeous! I rented the barn for my wedding as well and everything looked perfect. I can't say enough as to how wonderful this place is. We will be renting again in the future!!

Thank you Dileep! So glad you all enjoyed! Please come back again! Historic Buck Rhn Farm is always growing and evolving with the Farm Sanctuary continuing to add animals! Take care.
This house was a lovely spot for family memebers to stay over the Thanksgiving weekend. They all loved the house, amenities and the views! Also, can't beat walking to a great local market for treats and necessities!
What a wonderful place. Perfect for our family of 9 (7 adults, 2 kids). The property is gorgeous. Well equipped and felt like home. Hosts were incredibly kind and accommodating. We all loved seeing the animals and taking strolls along the vast acreage of the property. We're now looking for future family events to stay here again. Thank you so much!
We had an amazing time at buck run. The property is beautiful, the house is gorgeous and very well stocked, and the hostess was easy to communicate with.
Definitely worth what you pay!
We loved our stay! The house has so much charm and was very cozy in the winter. The grounds around the house are beautiful and wonderful for walking, sitting on the patio or enjoying the view from the window. The kitchen was fully stocked and great for cooking. And the beds and living rooms were cozy and perfect for relaxing. It’s the perfect house for a big group. We can’t wait to come back!
Wow!!!! Such a beautiful and peaceful property. Everything you need. My bed was so comfortable. We were in the area attending our son’s wedding and staying in such a relaxing and huge place made the busy weekend relaxing. Very gracious hosts.. we will definitely stay again when visiting

Thank you! It was a pleasure to have you all. Glad the family enjoyed the farm animals also. You all are welcome back to Historic Buck Run Farm anytime. Take care.
Group of business professionals traveling for work. 5 people were able to share this amazing property for really comparable rates to a chain hotel price. The venue was amazing, we really found the place very comfortable even for business travel. Plenty of space for us all to work in different rooms. Convenient to good food and surrounding areas.” Thank you!
Truly one of the best VRBOs I’ve ever stayed in. The house and grounds are immaculate. The owners hav done a brilliant job remodeling a historic home without losing the unique nature of the home itself. The patios and landscaping were truly an A+. Well stocked with everything I needed! Will def be back again!
Our adult children and grands joined us at this amazing farmhouse to celebrate our milestone 70th birthdays and to renew our wedding vows at the farmhouse. It was pure magic and the perfect setting for everyone ages 3-70 years—something special for everyone here to enjoy! The special touches, thoughtfulness and surprises from the owner Laurie just added to the warmth and charm of this fabulous stunningly beautiful country retreat! Can’t wait to come back!

We enjoyed having you all! Please come back again!! Things are always changing at Historic Buck Run Farm!!!
We (3 friends) stayed at this beautiful farmhouse for a long weekend get away and couldn't have been more pleased with the accommodations. The home is lovingly and beautifully decorated and it is so well- appointed. It was just perfect - anything we needed was there and we could not have been more comfortable - from the luxurious beds to the lovely sitting rooms and outdoor spaces.
We chose the home for its proximity to Longwood Gardens, where we spent a wonderful afternoon touring the beautiful grounds. We'd all recommend both the farmhouse and the gardens at Longwood (although the farmhouse has quite beautiful gardens and landscaping as well).

Thank you so much Mary! We welcome you and your guests back anytime!
The property was absolutely beautiful! It was well maintained and had an amazing garden. We love sitting out back watching the deer. The house was so cool. Everyone loved it. The only minor problem was that the listing said there was a common room with 2 twin beds but there wasn’t. Someone had to sleep on the couch but it was not a big deal. I would definitely recommend this house.
We had the most wonderful stay. Fireplaces in every bedroom, this house is truly historic. The owner did not miss a thing when designing the rooms… details are immaculate and so thoughtful. From the decor to the linens and towels, all superb. Coffee and creamer, fish food for the pond, rocks to paint…first class. These on top of the fact that you are staying on a real farm with live animals that you can feed! As well as a gorgeous event barn on the property if you want to host more people (separate fee). Within a mile is a pizza shop that has ridiculously good pizza and a market as well. The owner was wonderful to work with. We will return again the next time we are visiting this area 100%! Highly recommend.
Both sides of our family were getting together to celebrate my son's first birthday. We were all wowed by the house and the property. The kitchen had all types of utensils, and bathtooms were stovked with all you needed. The structure of the animal sanctuary to come is impressive too. Lots of space, bedrooms, and amenities. We'd love to reunite there again. We went to the Sight & Sound theaters too. Highly recommend checking that out. And Megan, the host is very responsive. Loved it
Everything about this property was superb: an historic farmhouse that has been updated and cared for; spotlessly clean; in a beautiful setting on a working farm, with every modern convenience you could ask for. The owners communicated with us and answered every question we had immediately! A bad storm had hit the area a couple of days before and they kept us informed on the storm's impacts - the house was thankfully undamaged. A beautiful and welcoming kitchen with every convenience became the gathering spot for our family get together. We'll never forget the lovely weekend in Chester County PA. Wish I could give this review more stars!

Thank you so much Bob. You and your guests were fabulous too! Enjoyed the house and property and left everything in great shape! SO grateful we weren’t damaged from the storm and got power back! Welcome you back anytime! (We will have a generator working soon!). Take care.
We rented the farmhouse as a base for visiting family back home over Christmas week, and it was like living in a Hallmark Christmas movie house. Absolutely beautiful, incredibly private, tastefully decorated for Christmas, and stocked with anything you could ever possibly need (and more!). One thing that made the week a success for our 3-generation group was the layout: my elderly parents got the master bedroom/bath, my husband & I and teenage kids took the other "half" of the upstairs. Between this feature and the two separate living spaces on opposite sides of the first floor, this was absolutely ideal for grandparents who go to bed at 8 vs the college kids staying up til 2 :). Only wish we could've enjoyed the outdoors more- this would be a lovely summer rental too. Then again, I enjoyed hiding out from the snow and ice in the library and could've spent a week just enjoying all the books. Just wonderful.

Katherine and family - thank you so much for the lovely review. We are so grateful to be able to share this magical property with wonderful folks such as yourselves. Please come back!!! Happy New Year.
This home would be lovely enough even without the context of an almost magical farm setting. The home has numerous sitting rooms and a library, allowing everyone a place to retreat individually or in small groups, perfect for a large family holiday. The furnishings are perfect and well chosen, and the owner is thoughtful enough to leave peanuts and carrots to feed the goats, sheep, and horses. I wouldn't change a thing. Two bedrooms are on the third floor, three bedrooms on the second with two full bathrooms. One sitting room o the ground floor looks convertible to a sleep space, with another full bathroom. Given that it's an old farmhouse, the comforts are as modern as one could expect.

Thank you Denise! It was lovely to have you and your family! Please come back again!!!
We have an annual girls' trip and this is the first time we are seriously considering a return trip because the house is just so amazing. One of the best-appointed rentals we've been to with lots of cozy shared spaces, and happily situated on a little pond with koi. The host was quick to respond to questions and requests. A friend or family holiday here would be lovely!
Fun things nearby include Kennett Square (great shopping and The Creamery beer garden), Longwood Gardens, and the Brandywine Museum. We also really loved The Whip Tavern for brunch.
[Just a note that there are a lot of tall, narrow stairs so perhaps not the best location for folks with mobility challenges unless you ask the host to set up a twin bed in one of the common areas on the first floor.]
