Re-energize and reconnect in this quintessential Chester County farmhouse. The Buck Run Farmhouse was built in 1767 and is believed to have been part of the Underground Railroad. Beautifully situated on over 90 acres of forest and fields for hiking, bird watching, and exploring; Historic Buck Run Farm is the perfect place to retreat to!!
Three story 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom home with living room, sunroom, and library. Outdoor spaces include brick-paved dining areas, a SoloStove, a Breeo firepit, and two decks as well as a grill for guest use. For kids we offer some basic sports equipment such as a net, a few assorted balls and some various outdoor games (think corn hole, etc.) The perfect place for a group trip or family reunion!
Guests have access to the entire first and second floor of the house as well as two full-size bedrooms on the third floor with beautiful views overlooking the farm. Guests are asked not to enter the basement or attic spaces. We have mechanical equipment in these locations and they are not intended for guest access.
While guests are welcome to explore the property, it is important to note that parts of the land are actively farmed. We ask that guests are respectful of these areas and recognize that they do not have exclusive access to the outdoor spaces. The house is reserved for guests only unless your group books The Barn for their venue space also.
The barn is off limits to guests without prior permission from Host. We are creating an animal sanctuary over time and welcome guests by appointment (or if you see us out there working feel free to inquire!) www.historicbuckrunfarm.com
We provide a starter supply of paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap, a sponge, and several trash bags. If you have any other special needs, by all means give us a call and we're happy to help in any way we can.
Please also know that cell service is very limited. We have great WiFi and calls can occasionally go through when outside the house but you may need to download a texting app to make calls via WiFi.
This house was built in the mid 1700's, it and the land are not easily accessible to persons with disabilities. There are many raised thresholds and narrow doorways as well as very little flat land in the outdoor spaces - all adding to the character of the well appointed home but not easy for wheelchair access or walkers.
Please be aware: there are Ring video doorbells on the front and back doors as well as monitoring the barn and pond. There are NO internal recording or listening devices. Our newly renovated Barn venue is now open and available for bookings also. For any group gatherings over 25 folks we recommend The Barn which comes with luxury portable toilets, utilities, parking and dumpsters for your eventās trash and recycling.
