The property is easily accessible...a 90 minute drive from New York City and 70 minutes from Philadelphia. The property is located on Route 212, two miles west of the Delaware River at Riegelsville, PA, where the beautiful ‘River Road’ (Route 32) branches off Route 611 and follows the river south through quaint Bucks County villages on the way to New Hope (a 45 minute drive). I am always available to help during your stay, via cell phone, text, or email. The locale offers the best of several worlds...the natural beauty and peace of an undeveloped, largely conserved rural setting; the quaint Bucks County villages and venues for which the area is so renowned; and the cultural offerings of nearby towns like Bethlehem, Doylestown, and New Hope that are brimming with alluring activities. The Delaware River offers a multitude of opportunities for boating, fishing, and walking or cycling along the scenic canal tow-path. Lovely country inns and restaurants abound for elegant or casual dining. Enjoy scouting the area to visit the numerous art galleries, antiques, crafts and other unique shops. Local farm stands, bakeries, and butcher shops provide the ideal resources for creating your own farm-to-table feasts. Penbuck Farm is in a rural area, several miles from bus transportation. A car is a must.
