1 Br Private Vacation Home Vacation Rental In Elverson, Pennsylvania

A wonderful adventure awaits you in the charming, historically preserved, tiny hamlet of Saint Peter's Village. Originally a late 19th century industrial company town for an iron mine and black granite quarry and now a destination for those looking for something out of the ordinary. Perfect for a short solo, friends or romantic getaway or longer term writer, artist or contemplative wellness retreat. Take advantage of pricing discounts for longer stays.

Stay in the quaint purple house originally occupied by the local cobbler and meticulously restored and maintained as a private residence for decades that is now available for a limited number of guests throughout the year. Inside you will find a lovely home with a full kitchen and dining area, living room with bay window and extremely comfortable queen sleeper sofa, bathroom and dressing room. There is free wifi and a smart tv for streaming. Head up the original curved stairway to the second floor and find your bedroom - a cozy haven with organic hybrid mattresses that can be configured into 2 Twin XL beds for friends getaways or 1 King for couples depending on guest preference. At night open the two small windows beside the bed and let the powerful and soothing sound of French Creek put you into a state of deep relaxation. Hold the handrail and feel the history on the way down 7 steps to the 125+ year old basement to find a full laundry and a claw foot tub for a relaxing soak where you can get lost in another time. The best feature of the house though is the amazing deck out back that overlooks the creek and woods. Depending on the time of day and year you will have a much envied spot to view either the folks enjoying the boulder studded creek or to just relax in total peace while immersed in mother nature. Walk out the front door and enjoy village life and step out back to enjoy nature - truly the best of both worlds.

The Village is mostly closed and quiet on Monday and Tuesday and can get quite busy on summer weekends. Every season has its own beauty in this magical place. It is situated in a narrow boulder-strewn ravine on the Falls of French Creek at the edge of the woods. Locals know it as a place to hop on the rocks, hike the trails, stroll down the sidewalk enjoying the unique shops and quirky vibe, and perhaps to catch some live music frequently offered at the Inn during the summer. The Village is home to some fantastic places including an incredible Bakery with delicious coffee and scratch kitchen and huge deck overlooking the rushing creek, Antique Pinball Arcade, Ice Cream Parlor, Antique Shop, Gift Shop and Healing Arts Studio, Historic Inn with Restaurant & Bar, as well as home to some amazing crafts people including a woodworker, blacksmith and glassblower.

The central location in beautiful Chester County lends itself to a myriad of interesting day trips. Head west on Route 23 and find yourself sharing the road with the Amish and their horse-drawn buggies. Explore small towns set amid the rolling hills and farms famous for fresh food like September Farm Market in Honey Brook and Shady Maple in East Earl. Pick your own seasonal fruit at Weaver's Orchard in Morgantown, find covered bridges, ride trails on horseback at Sheeder Mill Farm in Spring City, bike the French Creek Heritage Trail in Phoenixville or the Struble Trail in Downingtown, enjoy a gentle ride in the sky at Above & Beyond Ballooning, explore French Creek State Park and Hopewell Furnace, funky Phoenixville, Historic Yellow Springs Art Shows, the amazing People's Light Theater, the Wharton Esherick Museum, Valley Forge National Historical Park, Chanticleer Garden and even more in the Brandywine Valley.
