Circa 1800. A restored 19th century hamlet in the National Register has been transformed into a country inn containing cottages, old stone walls, carriage lanes and lush gardens. Each suite has access to an outdoor sitting area, and many have fireplaces, first-floor sitting rooms and elegant marble baths. The old blacksmith shop is now an elegant, whimsically decorated restaurant serving American cuisine, and a former 1889 railroad station is now a gourmet food shop. Located in the historic Brandywine Valley just north of Wilmington, the area offers many quaint antique shops. Other nearby attractions include museums housing exhibits such as American decorative arts or three generations of Wyeth paintings.
