In any season The Milford House is the ideal place to relax and refresh.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE:

Welcome:

Over all the years that we have hosted guests at The Milford House we have tried to customize our message to emphasize the seasonal changes along the Delaware River and the surrounding area. What we have come to realize: The seasonal changes along the river and the surrounding areas are just the frame for the picture! It is The Milford House which every guest talks about! It is the warmth, hominess, beauty, comfort, and relaxation that we have worked so hard to create for you, our guests.

If you are looking for a quiet, restful escape, "The Milford House" is perfect for you. Sit on the River porch under the ceiling fans and enjoy the stunning, unobstructed, waterfront views of the Delaware River; or enjoy a family meal on the large, screened-in side-porch overlooking the large, fenced-in yard. Wildlife, including bald eagles, deer and geese are sure to visit in the evening. In the warmer months you can see the boaters and tubers enjoying the day, while in the cooler months, witness the fall colors and the unique image of a snowy river.

If you prefer a more active stay you can take the short walk into town to check out the shops and restaurants but be sure that you tell the shop owners that you are visitors to Milford and that you are staying at the VRBO The Milford House on Spring Garden Street. You can walk or ride the Delaware Canal footpath and local roadways and explore the many State and County parks in the area. There are railroad tracks that run up the river and in front of our home. These tracks are inactive and create a great walking path north and south along the river. Whether you want to relax or explore The Milford House is the ideal place to have your vacation or a weekend getaway.

The Milford House was completely renovated in 2017/2018 by the owners, Don & Kathy. Old world charm and lots of attention to detail including exposed beams, bead-board ceilings with fans both inside and outside, beautiful landscaping, random width wood floors, double French doors, floor to ceiling windows, and a warm, gas fireplace stove make this house a unique experience for all our guests in all seasons.

We provide all sheets, towels, and wash cloths to make your stay as leisurely and relaxing as possible. However, there is a small laundry charge in the fee schedule. Should you prefer to bring your own sheets, towels, and wash cloths, please let us know and we will edit the fee charges to delete the laundry fee.

1st Floor:
Large living room with TV, gas fired log set and stove, river views through the floor to ceiling windows, and double French doors leading to the open porch. Powder room / half bathroom. The kitchen is spacious with an eating table, new stainless steel appliances, access to the side screened in porch, and washer/dryer

2nd Floor:
Bedroom #1: Queen Bed, river views, TV
Bedroom #2: Queen Bed, yard view
Bedroom #3: Full Bed, river views
Full Bathroom with tub/shower

Property:
The large side yard is completely fenced and contains play facilities and a fire pit and sitting area. there is a large front porch facing the river and a larger screen porch on the other side of the house with very comfortable lounge furniture. The driveway has room for 5 vehicles.
Although our home has beautiful river views, the river bank is steep and access is only for the adventurous. Our grandchildren have negotiated the steep hill several times but it is challenging. There is a boat launch area right across the river on the PA side, just a few minutes away. But there are also numerous areas with river access on both the NJ and PA sides very close by.

There are railroad tracks that run up the river and in front of our home. These tracks are inactive and create a great walking path north and south along the river.

Other "Things To Do" during your visit to "The Milford House"-
Shop at Peddlers Village; go tubing down the river; visit the Crayola Factory or Sesame Place; hike around Ringing Rocks County Park; walk, bike or fish along the Delaware River; tastings at local wineries; take a day-trip to NYC; go to see the historic, Washington Crossing State Park; ride the New Hope & Ivyland Railroad; visit a small, river town like New Hope, PA, Stockton, NJ, or Frenchtown, NJ.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.

Another wonderful stay at the Milford House
We enjoyed another amazing Thanksgiving holiday at the Milford House. The house is beautiful. The view of the river is relaxing and we love seeing deer and ducks. The bedrooms are all a really nice size and the bedding is very comfortable. Overall, I would highly recommend staying at this lovely house.

Relaxing getaway on the beautiful Delaware river
Every year my mom, aunt and I choose a place to stay for a few days to just get away. We're big on flea markets, thrift stores and of course Peddlers Village. This place was the perfect location for us to do everything we love. The view of the river was breathtaking, private and relaxing. The fireplace was wonderful to come home to after a long brisk day of shopping. Comfortable beds, hot shower, big kitchen and lots of places to relax with the view of the river from almost every window. We did notice that there was no seasonal touches to welcome you such as mums in the front entrance and the chairs overlooking the river had very warnout, used cushions. Maybe just a little more attentuon to those things. Otherwise it was a wonderful stay. Thank you so much

We stayed here for 2 nights on our way back from Boston. The home has been beautifully renovated and well stocked. It was perfect for our family. The view of the river is amazing and I highly recommend checking out the Ringing Rocks nearby.

A gem
We very much enjoyed our getaway to this gem of a place. The house is teeming with character and the location is ideal (near to many shops and restaurants). We were impressed with the cleanliness of the house, and especially enjoyed sitting out back along the lazy river, often with the company of various animals that wandered by (deer, geese, a groundhog, a heron, and various bird activity). We plan to revisit.

This was my first time using vrbo so I wasn't quite sure how it worked. However, the host was very kind and helped me through the process and even recommended areas to visit during our stay. The home was very beautiful and well kept with stunning views of the river. I felt comfortable the entire time. I will definitely visit again!!

Wonderful holiday spent on the river
The Milford House was wonderful. Exactly as expected, possibly exceeding our expectations. Our family rented the house for Christmas and it was a charming and quaint place to stay. You can’t beat the morning coffee overlooking the river. The house had just enough space for us to sleep comfortably. The kitchen was roomy for us to cook on Christmas Eve and Day. Only minor critique would be some cleanliness. We vacuumed before we checked out and there were areas where it was very clear it was very dusty or possibly not vacuumed before our stay. We also had to wash almost every pot and pan before we used them because they were somewhat sticky and not fully cleaned. Nothing dire enough that would prohibit us from booking again but perhaps some feedback for the cleaning company. We can’t wait to stay again!

We had an amazing time at the Milford House!

We also ventured off to Peddlers Village and had the absolute best time. The property is clean and the views off the back porch are breathtaking! We can’t wait to be back :)
