About this property

Secluded Chester County historic farmhouse and venue

  • 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 at an additional fee.

Wonderful Stay

We loved our stay! The house has so much charm and was very cozy in the winter. The grounds around the house are beautiful and wonderful for walking, sitting on the patio or enjoying the view from the window. The kitchen was fully stocked and great for cooking. And the beds and living rooms were cozy and perfect for relaxing. It’s the perfect house for a big group. We can’t wait to come back!

Amazing property. Very tranquil

Group of business professionals traveling for work. 5 people were able to share this amazing property for really comparable rates to a chain hotel price. The venue was amazing, we really found the place very comfortable even for business travel. Plenty of space for us all to work in different rooms. Convenient to good food and surrounding areas.” Thank you!

Hands Down One of the Best!

Truly one of the best VRBOs I’ve ever stayed in. The house and grounds are immaculate. The owners hav done a brilliant job remodeling a historic home without losing the unique nature of the home itself. The patios and landscaping were truly an A+. Well stocked with everything I needed! Will def be back again!

Girlfriend get away

We (3 friends) stayed at this beautiful farmhouse for a long weekend get away and couldn't have been more pleased with the accommodations. The home is lovingly and beautifully decorated and it is so well- appointed. It was just perfect - anything we needed was there and we could not have been more comfortable - from the luxurious beds to the lovely sitting rooms and outdoor spaces. We chose the home for its proximity to Longwood Gardens, where we spent a wonderful afternoon touring the beautiful grounds. We'd all recommend both the farmhouse and the gardens at Longwood (although the farmhouse has quite beautiful gardens and landscaping as well).

Beautiful property

The property was absolutely beautiful! It was well maintained and had an amazing garden. We love sitting out back watching the deer. The house was so cool. Everyone loved it. The only minor problem was that the listing said there was a common room with 2 twin beds but there wasn’t. Someone had to sleep on the couch but it was not a big deal. I would definitely recommend this house.

The Perfect Get-Away!

Everything about this property was superb: an historic farmhouse that has been updated and cared for; spotlessly clean; in a beautiful setting on a working farm, with every modern convenience you could ask for. The owners communicated with us and answered every question we had immediately! A bad storm had hit the area a couple of days before and they kept us informed on the storm's impacts - the house was thankfully undamaged. A beautiful and welcoming kitchen with every convenience became the gathering spot for our family get together. We'll never forget the lovely weekend in Chester County PA. Wish I could give this review more stars!

Family Christmas at a perfect retreat

This home would be lovely enough even without the context of an almost magical farm setting. The home has numerous sitting rooms and a library, allowing everyone a place to retreat individually or in small groups, perfect for a large family holiday. The furnishings are perfect and well chosen, and the owner is thoughtful enough to leave peanuts and carrots to feed the goats, sheep, and horses. I wouldn't change a thing. Two bedrooms are on the third floor, three bedrooms on the second with two full bathrooms. One sitting room o the ground floor looks convertible to a sleep space, with another full bathroom. Given that it's an old farmhouse, the comforts are as modern as one could expect.

This house is WOW.

We have an annual girls' trip and this is the first time we are seriously considering a return trip because the house is just so amazing. One of the best-appointed rentals we've been to with lots of cozy shared spaces, and happily situated on a little pond with koi. The host was quick to respond to questions and requests. A friend or family holiday here would be lovely! Fun things nearby include Kennett Square (great shopping and The Creamery beer garden), Longwood Gardens, and the Brandywine Museum. We also really loved The Whip Tavern for brunch. [Just a note that there are a lot of tall, narrow stairs so perhaps not the best location for folks with mobility challenges unless you ask the host to set up a twin bed in one of the common areas on the first floor.]

Breath Taking Farmhouse

I rented this house for a reunion of college friends. We were in the area for the Tough Mudder, Philly. The house and landscaping is breathtaking! This is by far the best rental house I have ever stayed at! The owner has clearly devoted time/love into the property. We had anything and everything at this rental. Plenty of paper products, all the kitchen supplies, outdoor fire pits and heaters. There entire house had a welcoming theme. This property was spotless! If we are ever in the area for our annual rebuild we would love to stay at this property again! We loved it so much….no one wanted to leave! Note to potential renter: RENT THIS FARMHOUSE! You will be so happy you!!

Great place for a friends cycling reunion

The house and property are superb. Well appointed inside, with everything you need in the kitchen. Great spaces to relax and catch up. Very private, with gorgeous views outside. Megan is an efficient and capable host. As nice as you'll ever meet. We know the area, and the routes around Chester and Lancaster county are some of the finest anywhere so perfect for rides of any length. It is not rail trail riding though, so do some hill training if you don't get a chance on your normal routes. There's even a small market right up the street (8 min walk) in case you run out of something. There was some construction going on, making the place even more spectacular, and even the workmen were friendly and accommodating. I can't recommend highly enough.

An Amazing Home, An Amazing Venue & An Amazing Host!

Laurie is the absolute most amazing host! You'll never find a host that is more gracious or accommodating or generous! She went out of her way to make our stay special and to work with us to make it all we wanted it to be. Her communication is excellent and she's very responsive. The house is a wonderful, clean and inviting space with great spaces for groups to gather. My group of 10 often spent time in the kitchen or on the patio. The grounds are beautifully maintained and the horses and goats are so relaxing to watch & pet. This is an absolutely wonderful place to walk and completely disconnect from the outside world. The barn ended up being the most magical place for us to celebrate with our friends. Even just relaxing on the porch in the evening was just such a refresh for all of us! Everyone who was there would love to come back again!

This was our second stay because our first was so fantastic. This time (a summer stay, our last was over Christmas) we got to enjoy the outdoors! Coffee in the morning on the back patio was just serene, we loved walking the property and watching the wildlife and overall just enjoyed the quiet privacy of the setting.

Most Treasured Family Country Retreat!

Our adult children and grands joined us at this amazing farmhouse to celebrate our milestone 70th birthdays and to renew our wedding vows at the farmhouse. It was pure magic and the perfect setting for everyone ages 3-70 years—something special for everyone here to enjoy! The special touches, thoughtfulness and surprises from the owner Laurie just added to the warmth and charm of this fabulous stunningly beautiful country retreat! Can’t wait to come back!

We had the most wonderful stay. Fireplaces in every bedroom, this house is truly historic. The owner did not miss a thing when designing the rooms… details are immaculate and so thoughtful. From the decor to the linens and towels, all superb. Coffee and creamer, fish food for the pond, rocks to paint…first class. These on top of the fact that you are staying on a real farm with live animals that you can feed! As well as a gorgeous event barn on the property if you want to host more people (separate fee). Within a mile is a pizza shop that has ridiculously good pizza and a market as well. The owner was wonderful to work with. We will return again the next time we are visiting this area 100%! Highly recommend.
