Laureleye Farms is a 70-acre horse farm in SE PA with access to great hiking trails and the Brandywine River for floating, dipping, or just sitting. Longwood Gardens, the Brandywine River Museum, Delaware Children's Museum and other Chester County attractions are all within 20-30 minutes. We welcome well-behaved pets on leashes. You can also bring your horse and they can camp out too.
The Chapel offers a warm and cozy retreat nestled in a working horse farm, perfect for those who enjoy rustic charm and nature. Guests appreciate the simple design, the warmth of the wood stove, and the beautiful surroundings, including starry nights and scenic views. Host Susannah receives high praise for her hospitality and helpfulness, making guests feel welcomed and well-cared for. With its unique historical setting and peaceful atmosphere, it's an ideal spot for a quiet getaway.
It was great camping inside this old and charming hundreds year old cottage. The space is pretty large, and has a wood burning stove that keeps the inside warm. The property is beautiful with rolling hills and meadows, horses, woods, and a beautiful creek right behind the cottage. If you want to get into nature in a historical way this is the place for you. Also the area is filled with small historic towns and feels secluded but not very remote, so you can be in town in 10-15 minutes. Would recommend and would visit again.
This is a beautiful spot! The building is gorgeous, and seeing horses everywhere was amazing. The tables were appreciated, as was the starter pile of firewood and our host was responsive.
Staying here is lovely but prepare as though you are camping. It doesn't have any indoor amenities and the stones trap the cold. There also doesn't seem to be turnover after guests (there was a dog poop bag in the trash can when we arrived) and the road next to the chapel gets residential traffic. Also seems to be a less-than-friendly neighbor, we saw her taking pictures of the cottage while we were in it and she knocked on our door in the early morning to let us know we had dropped a napkin on the ground. Rural but not secluded.
The chapel was so rad. Did some cold plunging in the creek behind it. I'm a mariner that lives in washington and rented the chapel to be close to philadelphia for a weekend with a lady friend. It was a beautiful place to lay my head and very conveniently located for adventures in nature and the city alike. I might consider an extended stay here again in the summer. Susannah is a great host. The wood stove provided adequate heat even for my impromptu trip eith rudimentary gear.
My partner and I stayed here and had a wonderful time. The building was warm and cozy and we loved the simplicity of its design.
We arrived after dark so finding parking was a little tricky but we figured it out without a problem. In the daylight you can clearly see signs for where to park.
The location was beautiful and had a great view of the stars. While packing up, we were greeted by a very sweet dog named Dante and got to see the horses as well.
Highly recommend if you’re looking for a rustic simple and peaceful stay.
