The Mountain House was very clean. It is in a very isolated location with a very long one lane driveway. We could see how renting this property in warmer weather would be ideal. New Hope has plenty to occupy you as well as many outdoor activities.
This home is beautiful! Lots of bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, a beautiful kitchen, and the hot tub was great. Very close to town, a nearby apple orchard, and the lot itself was beautiful as well. We had an issue during our stay from a downed tree that David was very responsive to. I appreciate his attention on this!
The property is beautiful, very private, goats are adorable. David was immediately responsive and flexible. VeryMuch appreciated the high level of service.
Hosts were friendly, responsive and helpful from start to finish. Property was great -we enjoyed the peace and quiet of the location and didn't even venture out as we made our own fun at the house to maximize our 2-night stay there. Absolutely loved the goats, swam in the pool/hot tub, played pool and other games, enjoyed cooking in the kitchen and grilling etc. Def recommend this property! So much character...
Our family had a wonderful New Hope getaway at the Mountain House. We played board games in front of the fireplace, played pool in the game room, enjoyed home cooked meals, and visited the town and Peddler’s Village. Thank you, David, for the hospitality!
You are greeted by goats when you arrive. The house has many sitting areas, a pool table, hot tub, large fridge and great artwork. New Hope is an 8 min drive and super cute. Great stay
We thoroughly enjoyed the property and the outdoor space. Great for a gathering of family around graduation. The house is full of character and in a great location. The goats were an added bonus, making us smile everytime we pulled up to the property.
We were in New Hope for a family wedding. The Mountain House provided room for everyone. Our group ranged from 10 months to 71 years in age. The kiddos loved the goats, and had a great time exploring the property.
This is the second time we have stayed and love this house. It is a funky older home that is clean and perfect for a get away. Everyone slept great as it’s so quiet and peaceful. House is very comfortable and set up for relaxing family visits. Very well stocked with everything you need.
Our stay couldn’t have better! The home was charming and just what you’d expect when in that area of historical PA. The goats were a delight as was the pool and hot tub.
We especially enjoyed the campfire, and the peaceful, natural surroundings. We’d definitely return for another stay!
David was a fantastic host-available for questions before and during our day.
We enjoyed the solitude and atmosphere of the mountain house. It was very clean and the pool was a pleasant treat. The gardens provide a nice respite from city life although the outdoor furniture could use some updating. A fun house with a very well outfitted kitchen and many comfortable spaces.
Comfortable and lovingly use. Very clean and accommodating. Loved the pool and hot tub! Feeding the goats was extra fun for my older grand children. We would definitely come back again.
This well loved and lived in home made me and my family feel right at home. Comfortable, comforting and full of whimsical and charming details, this house feels like a retreat to a favorite home-away-from-home. The Christmas decorations that were put up for the season were perfect for making us all feel festive and welcomed.
We had a family gathering and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home was loaded with interesting rooms and lots of things for the kids. The kids really enjoyed the goats.
David was easy to communicate with and the check in process was super easy.
We would definitely love to return!!!
This is a totally charming old house. We loved the differently colored bedrooms, the sunflower themes, and the spaciousness of the kitchen/dining/living area. Our group consisted of 6 senior women, and there were plenty of beds and bathrooms to accommodate us. The pool, hot tub and goats were an added bonus! I would totally recommend staying here.
We were a group of 9 that stayed at the Mountain House for 1 night. We had a blast and were impressed by all of the space, how private the location felt, and how well-stocked the home was. Many people commented on how they would like to come back for a weekend or week to enjoy more that the property has to offer. Would certainly recommend to others!
We had a friends’ getaway long weekend here and loved it. The property is beautiful and we loved sitting outside by the pool with coffee and listening to the birds sing. The house is roomy and very homey and the beds were soooo comfortable. The location is perfect—-less than a ten minute drive to downtown New Hope with all its shops, restaurants, etc.., but the wooded property is private and quiet and definitely feels like you’re away from it all. We also loved the adorable goats, and fed them leaves and apples at every opportunity!
We rented the house for a college reunion weekend. Loved that the house had so many beds/bedrooms, great & easy entertainment spaces for long days at the house catching up, and a well-stocked kitchen.
A beautiful eclectic home !! Had a wonderful family girls trip celebrating my sister’s 65th birthday! This home was spacious with stunning views and accommodated all of our needs. We enjoyed that we were close enough to town and yet at the end of the day benefited from the privacy & uniqueness of this fabulous home , additionally, the goats were an added bonus to our fun . Lastly , David could not have been a better host !. Our needs were immediately addressed !! A++
Our family’s premier holiday is Thanksgiving. We have spent Thanksgiving at our sister ’s home for years in Bucks County with up to 30 people. Looked for a home nearby for 6 of us so there was another place for us to spend time together. Mountain House was absolutely perfect. The house, the kitchen and outdoors are extraordinarily well equipped. The library of art books, the paintings were enjoyed. The toy closet and pianos were a treat. One of our guests asked if the property was for sale. We hope to return. Thanks David!
There was a good amount of space for our large extended family. The house is quite well built so that kids could be in the game room and weren’t bothering adults in the living room with noise. There were lots of activities for the kids and tons of games for them to play with, the house is a little on the old side, but was very clean and comfortable. The owner was super responsive to all communication and even came to the house shortly after I had texted him about the AC in part of the house not working (it turned out it was just a couple of vents that were closed.). I would highly recommend this house.
We had a great stay at this property, and it worked really well for our family gathering. David, the Host, was incredibly responsive, and the check-in/check-out process could not have been easier. The house was very spacious, with plenty of room for everyone to relax without feeling crowded. The outdoor property was a real highlight — peaceful, private, and the hot tub was a perfect spot to unwind at the end of the day. The adorable goats were a nice bonus.That said, the house could use a little updating and some general maintenance. A few things felt a bit worn, and some small repairs would make the experience even better. However, everything was clean, and the amenities we needed were available, which made it easy to enjoy our time together.Overall, it was a great place for a family trip, especially if you prioritize space, comfort, and outdoor features!
Favorite hot tub experience. Awesome fireplace. Big refrigerator. Quiet!
And there’s a giraffe in the backyard, trippin’ (lol!).
The place could use a little TLC… easy & cheap to do: clear out guest closets, scale-down or redistribute the flatware to put less strain on the drawers, replace a burnt outlet in the hall bathroom, also hall bathroom where the hairdryer is stored, clean up the paint. Most expensive, flashing between roof & chimney as rain water was finding its way into the home sliding down to the hearth. Mid-expense, square ceiling patch in the living room.
Our family of 3 generations enjoyed The Mountain House. Although the house, hot tub and pool water were clean, we needed to remove a multitude of leaves from the pool daily.before swimming. The generator was a definite plus for summer storms as well as the plethora of towels, game room ( billiard table and pin pong) toys for children, and the goats which we enjoyed feeding.
The only other drawbacks were the broken window blind wands in the bedroom and lack of garbage kitchen bags (glad we brought our own) and lack of an door garbage can for our long stay. . Perhaps having a house manager near by would aid in the upkeep of such items. David was a gracious host not only forthcoming in meeting a couple of our requests in a timely fashion, but always available to communicate with me for any questions I had prior to our arrival.. All in all, despite the rain we had a delightful vacation making memories.
