 "Recommended. An ideal location for a holiday, which allowed us to visit Philadelphia (park your car at the local station & take the train into the city.......it couldn't be easier) & explore the surrounding countryside. The cottage is very comfortable, well equipped & is in a peaceful location. We particularly enjoyed the resident family of deer - fascinating to watch from the kitchen window......however, they didn't appear so keen on us!" - Steve & Jacky Clarke, Doncaster, South Yorks, UK, 10/12/08
"I spent three weeks at this wonderful home away from home. It was totally relaxing and a pleasant experience. This was my first time but certainly not my last. I enjoy the fact that there was so much to do in the area, but it was as easy just to stay home and relax. I enjoyed being away from the hustle and bustle of life. The time flew by!" - Caryn, Grove City, PA, 07/14/08
"Your cottage was just perfect for our family of four! You made us feel so welcome and right at home beginning with our first contact over the phone. From your willingness to visit and be available when needed to the cookies and dolls you put out for the kids, you added such a personal touch. It was just fun! Your knowledge and resources of the area were fantastic. The location and the accommodations of the cottage were excellent. Your requirements for reservations, payment, check-out, etc. were simple, clear, and reasonable. We had a wonderful vacation and left feeling like we had made a new friend." - The Atwaters, Petersburg, Illinois, 07/08/08
"We loved staying at this adorable cottage. We have rented many places, in the US and overseas, and this experience was the most well organized and cared for by our host. We appreciate your thought and helpfulness and look forward to returning. Bucks county is beautiful, with lots of interesting things to do and nice people." - G&H, Alexandria, VA, 06/30/08
"Dear Emily,Your beautiful Cottage and garden was far more than I'd hoped for. Location was perfect for visiting Philadelphia and Bucks County and Amish Country. Being a fellow vacation rental owner, I was so impressed with all the thoughtful touches I took notes! And all of your advice for restaurants, shopping and sight seeing and just enjoying your area were excellent. I would strongly encourage anyone considering a B&B or a hotel to instead stay in your cottage, it had EVERYTHING one could ask for. Best Wishes, Elen" - Elen, California, 06/16/08
 "We just recently stayed at another VRBO property in Laguna Beach & it reminded us of the fabulous time we spent at this property almost two years ago! The cottage is beautifully decorated, quiet & quaint, and well-located and well-equipped. The Glossbrenners were fabulous hosts & richly deserved our praise, and we feel badly we didn't know about this option on the VRBO website until now to give it to them! Thanks for the memories!Marybeth & BillOrinda, CA" - Anonymous, 06/05/07
"We are overwhelmed by your amazing hospitality. Not one detail is missing. The Cottage is wonderful and beautifully decorated. Thank you for giving us a few days of peace and rest to hide away. We wish we could stay longer, but we miss our baby! We will be back with her and will highly recommend you to our friends and family." - H & L , Glen Head, NY, 01/27/07
"It was a delight to stay in your cottage. Everything was just perfect. We first started renting "homes" on a trip to Italy many years ago and have become very spoiled - never wanting to stay in hotels. It was so great to find your cottage as we are frequent visitors to Bucks County and have stayed at most of the B&Bs.... but there is nothing like a "home" of your own. And that is just what the cottage felt like. Hope to visit you again soon! " - Cathi and Tom, Brooklyn, NY, 10/16/06
"My husband and I found the cottage when we were fleeing Live 8 in Phila and ended up in a marvelous place. The cottage was charming, the bicycle paths were nearby and our hosts were delightful! We hope to return again." - Anonymous, 07/08/05
"I needed a break from being a mom for just a little while. The week I spent at the cottage was just what the doctor ordered. Alfred and Emily made me feel so at ease, and their attention to detail was perfect. Sleeping late, quiet walks along the canal, and uninterupted shopping days in New Hope made my week there a dream. Oh and the new Statbucks in town was an added bonus. I will defenitely be back for another mommy getaway." - Nela D King, 05/17/04
 "Three of us made the cottage the headquarters for our 45th high school reunion, and we loved every minute. The cottage is delightful in every way, and Emily is the perfect innkeeper, friendly, efficient and thoughtful. We'll try it again for our 50th!" - Anonymous, New York, NY, 05/14/04

"I can't believe it's been 4 weeks! Staying in your cottage, with you as neighbors, guides, and friends has been the perfect start to what we hope to be a happy and adventurous time for us...The cottage and you made us feel so at home and eased our transition. Thanks to you and your many wonderful suggestions we have grown to love this area and are excited about by the prospect of having ample time to explore...We feel we have made our first new friends. Thank you again for everything!!" - Kim and Brad, Florida, 09/01/01
"Thank you for your hospitality and generosity...from helping us plan out our day trips to New York and Philadelphia to the goodies in the fridge to faxing Chuck's lesson plans on to his high school...We adore the charm and comfort of the cottage and the beauty of the grounds made us realize why William Penn chose this area for his quiet retreat from Philadelphia. The memories and breathtaking beauty of the area will be forever etched on our minds...we'll carry them home to California and keep them in our hearts for the rest of our lives." - Chuck and Ida, California, 07/09/01

""The Cottage" is absolutely beautiful. We enjoyed our stay but hope to return. This was an excellent way to surprise me for our 5th wedding anniversary. It helped renew the sparks (!) of romance!! Owners Note: It didn't happen with Chris and Jen. But if you're inquiring about renting the cottage as a surprise, for heaven's sake let us know by including that information in your note when you send your availbility inquiry! It has only happened once, but a spouse sent an inquiry, we needed clarification and called, and, of course, ended up spilling the beans to the other spouse. (The "surprise-ee"?)" - Christopher and Jenifer, Flourtown, PA, 10/23/98
