We enjoyed our stay. Had a little glitch with the VRBO app that made communication challenging. There were a few things that needed tending to. We plan to stay again. Lots of wonderful indoor and outdoor spaces.

Great big house

We had a great stay. The house is well maintained and was big enough to allow 9 adults and 1 toddler enough space to retreat from one another.

Beautiful Weekend!

We had 7 adults come together for our daughter’s graduation and this home could not have been more perfect. Plenty of room for everyone with room to spare. The grounds were incredible and the pool was a welcomed way to cool down on a warm day. Wish we could have stayed longer!

We loved it!

We loved the charm and space of this property. We were here for a family reunion and Boxwood did not disappoint. Especially since we knew the family that lived in this house many years ago, we loved seeing the old pictures and art. It is a special place. The pool, hot tub and lakefront living room were popular with our group!

Plenty of space and fun quirks

Our group really enjoyed the stay at Boxwood. There were tons of different rooms and space for us all. Some of the older family members really enjoyed learning about the history of the property as well.

Great for Group Gathering

The location is as advertised - an older home with lots of space and great amenities. We loved having the pool, hot tub, grill, ample kitchen space and beds that allowed for this to be a great place to spend the day with friends and also a great home base before and after a day out.

Memorial for our Mother

We stayed at the house Thurs-Sun and had a memorial get together on Friday after burying our mother at the Washington Crossing Cemetery. The house was perfect for what we needed. The grounds were beautiful and everything was great. Such an historical house with character, we were so happy to find it on vrbo! Peter

Amazing property!

Great house. Fully stocked! Wonderful towpath, tennis courts and lake. The kitchen was perfectly organized for us to cook together and enjoy family time. Beautiful art and interesting artifacts everywhere! The big room was the best hangout spot and the one crawling baby learned to master that one step like a champ! It was grand!!

Perfect place for our weekend

We were in town for a wedding, seven of us. We had plenty of space to get ready and stay. Some of our family came over the day after the wedding and we enjoyed the property, the space, and the rooms accommodated some additional people to stay the night. It is an older home with amazing charm and awesome for group photos. Like they said, not a 5 star hotel but it makes up for it in amenities, location and space. We loved our stay.

Family Reunion

This place rocks! Our family gathered for my parents’ 60th wedding anniversary, 9 adults, 8 teens and teens. All age groups loved the place. The grounds are impressive and vast. The house is old, like the description says, but it has character and a lot of space both inside and out. Multiple cooking areas, so no problem making meals for large groups. The owner was diligent in answering questions before we arrived, and there was an onsite property manager to answer questions and make minor repairs when needed. All family members said we would rent this place again.

We had a good time.

It was fine. The big tv did not work. The outside entrance toward the pool needs a railing. Fell onto the cement. The toilet on second floor needs service, to strength it.

A Magical Experience

This was the perfect venue for us. It was so spacious that our extended family actually did not use at least 1/3 of the space. There are large living areas where we could all gather together and eat together. And then there were very spacious private places where we could be by ourselves outside of earshot of everyone else. The huge windowed walls of the main gathering room gave us a panoramic view onto the beautiful property with water and bridges everywhere we looked. We saw large fish, deer families, and a beautiful soaring blue heron who landed close enough to intrigue our toddlers.

A Spacious Historic House

I stayed with two friends and family at the property for a college reunion. The pool saved us when the heat index hit 100 degrees. The property is clean and well-kept. Some in our party did not have cars and I would recommend a car if you stay at the property. The property is an oasis in the middle of a densely populated area. As an 18th century house, the layout is unique and I would also recommend looking at the bedroom layout if you plan for a large group. The history of the American Revolution is at the doorstep of the property if you have forgotten the details of Washington’s crossing of the Delaware.
