About this property
Historic luxury Forge mansion estate on the banks of French Creek. Pet friendly
This fully restored and exquisitely furnished historic mansion ( built 1700 to 1769) offers luxury accommodation for up to 16 guests. A cottage which sleeps 6 is adjacent for larger parties, renting separately. There are numerous indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces with porches and a huge patio with gas BBQ. Indoors there is a huge family room with a massive kitchen inglenook fireplace housing a contemporary suspended wood stove. The eat-in designer chef kitchen is next then a dining room and sitting room complete the ground floor. There are 7 bedrooms, three with en suite bathrooms, the remaining bathrooms are shared by two bedrooms each. The estate borders French Creek with extensive lawns seeping to the river. The Mansion is in a bucolic riparian location but only minutes away from shopping and restaurants. Revolutionary war battlefields are close by ( yes, George Washington spent 3 nights at the forge after the Battle of Brandywine). Amish county is close where you can visit quaint towns, produce stands and see the horse and buggy Amish culture. For shoppers, the famous King of Prussia mall is 25 minutes away while a luxury outlet mall is 15 minutes away. Something for everyone yet a luxurious, tranquil home to retreat to once adventures are over!

About the host
Your host
I’m a retired pharmaceutical CEO and, together with my partner, Michael, renovate neglected properties and gardens. We have full restored the Mansion to its magnificence and we love to share this beautiful property with our guests. We are both keen gardener’s and I’m originally from Scotland so the new gardens reflect a British cottage garden style. We have cleared brush from the water meadow to allow sweeping lawns leading to historic French Creek, the creek was used to power the forge in 1700
Why they chose this property
The bucolic location allows us to enjoy Chester County’s glorious fauna yet the property is only minutes away from numerous restaurants, shopping and historic sites
What makes this property unique
The Mansion is one of the best preserved examples of Georgian architecture in Chester County. Listed on the National Historic Register, the original cottage ( now the family room) is the oldest inhabited structure in our township. The entire property has been luxuriously renovatef and all original floors, panelling and beams have been lovingly retained and restored. A truely unique historic home.
