Tip Top is more than a stay, it's an experience. Our Huntsman Suite, accessed by a private staircase, is a spacious and unique space in a historic mansion . The first bedroom has a canopied Queen bed, sitting area, and work desk. The second Bedroom has a Queen bed and large work desk. The spa bathroom has a Kohler whirlpool and walk-in shower. This Suite can accommodate four persons. If more space is necessary, visit our Tally-Ho Suite, at Airbnb.com/rooms/32492353. Tip Top was an equestrian estate that was an important part of the storied Great Gatsby era "Gilded Age". Tip Top's mansion remains today and has been meticulously restored by an award-winning member of the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen. The oldest part of the house was built in the first half of the 18th century (approx. 1745). The house has been fully updated with all modern amenities, but as guests have observed, "somehow, even with the original details and period collectibles, it still feels like a home." Guests can take an optional guided tour (it’s free), and marvel at architectural details, immerse themselves in the history of previous owners and lifestyles going back over 300 years, marvel at the artifacts unearthed during the extensive restoration process, examine the original hand-hewn timbers of the house, and visit the subterranean vaulted stone rooms containing the original cistern, root cellar, smoke house, ash pit and wine cellar. Tip Top is perfect for couples enjoying a cozy & private romantic getaway, working persons, and solo travelers in a quiet tranquil setting, while still close to Bucks County with its eclectic New Hope river town and Doylestown, which sports the renowned Mercer, Font Hill, Michener and Moravian Tile museums. Philadelphia with its many attractions is just a short train ride or automobile trip away. Chester County beckons with its Longwood Gardens, Chanticleer, Brandywine River Museum, and nearby Winterthur, the storied 175 room DuPont Estate. King of Prussia, the world's third largest shopping mall with its 450 stores, shops and restaurants is 20 minutes away.
