Downingtown Manor | 1900s Farmhouse w/ Creek Views

This unique home, circa 1900, was constructed of stone and wood beams from an 1800s barn located on the property. Downingtown Manor is situated on 2.6 acres of lush greenery in the heart of Downingtown, overlooking the East Branch of the Brandywine Creek and its Beaver Creek tributary.

Need a bit more space? Also on the property, you'll find Boathouse on the Brandywine (111 Manor Ave), which sleeps 4. This property is a separate rental available to book.

Walking through the vintage foyer, you are transformed into a different time. The spacious living room leads to a large sunroom with gorgeous views of Brandywine Creek. The first floor features the main bedroom with an en-suite as well as a TV. You will also find two additional bedrooms upstairs.

Downingtown Manor can comfortably sleep 10 people. The perfect location for wedding guests, holiday guests, reunions, and family get-togethers, the property is conveniently located close to several Chester County attractions, such as Longwood Gardens and the American Music Theater, as well as both Philadelphia and Lancaster. You are sure to find plenty to do during your stay.

The Manor House has two separate living areas. The upper 2 floors are the short term rental fully described in this listing. The second is a long term rental unit on the first floor that has a tenant on the property and parks a vehicle in the driveway. The units have no access to one another and no shared space with the exception of the driveway.

Great Girls Weekend Getaway!
My friends and I absolutely adored our stay here. Downingtown is such a beautiful and charming town, and the house was gorgeous. We loved the inviting dining room and sun room looking over the creek. We enjoyed going out into the town for dinners and taking nice walks during the day at the park.

Best Christmas Ever
It was something out of a story book. The Downingtown Manor Farmhouse was amazing! We had the best holiday with our children and family near by. The Manor was very clean and had everything we needed. The big Kitchen farm table allowed us to gather and talk while enjoying our meals. The family room held all of us (5 adults) with room to spare around the fireplace and TV. Beds were comfortable in spacious bedrooms. We will be back for Thanksgiving! Thank you to the hosts!

Decompressing Blissful Get-A-Way
This beautiful solid stone house is beautifully decorated with soothing colors; super quiet inside to relax and unwind. On Friday night, the local park had a live band for us to enjoy from the convenience of the comfy lounge furniture in the sunroom. It's a close drive to major attractions (i.e.: Longwood Gardens, Vineyards with yoga on the lawn, pontoon ride on Marsh Creek Lake, etc.). The neighborhood is very walkable with pretty gardens to stop and enjoy. Morning chats with the neighbors yielded great gardening guidance! The kitchen has everything to cook/bake. We loved gathering at the ample dining table every morning and evening. Best treat was the quick two blocks walk to the local ice cream shop where service is "with a smile", free donut, and yummy flavors. Blueberry pomegranate was delicious! If you are a coffee lover, the kindred Farm coffee house next door offers a beautiful, restful spot to sip and enjoy fresh baked goods. Hosts could not have been nicer with great communication. Tenant, Fred, on the lower level was friendly on our arrival and unobtrusive/elusive for our entire stay. Our little group of four friends had plenty of room to spread out, call home, and read without intruding on each other.

Second stay! Such a lovely place with a beautiful sun room to enjoy morning coffee. Close to parks, restaurants and a great Farmers Market on Saturday morning during the summer. Mark and Michele were so easy to communicate with and made their home very welcoming.

GREAT OLDER HOME IN DOWNINGTOWN
The day before our arrival, the owners sent us two emails; one to clarify the check in process (very easy), the other with clear, concise directions to the property. Upon opening the front door, we knew we made the right choice! This is a beautiful older home, built @ 1900 of materials from a barn that was on the property at the time. Everything we needed was clean and where you'd expect to find it. All the rooms are nicely decorated and comfortable. At the time of our visit, the weather was not ideal; somewhat chilly and wet for late June, but there is plenty to do in the area and even if there weren't, we would have been happy just staying in the house, taking advantage of the amenities, which include a shuffleboard and a beautiful light-filled side porch overlooking the Brandywine. I could go on, but suffice to say that none of us (me, my wife and two friends) wanted to leave! We hope that Downingtown Manor is available the next time we visit the area. If so, it will be our only choice!

Awesome Downingtown House
My extended family stayed in this absolutely lovely house right on Brandywine Creek, within walking distance of downtown Downingtown. The house was both vintage and completely updated with a great kitchen, large dining room, and many lovely gathering spaces. We especially loved the enclosed porch overlooking the creek. Morning coffee with my sisters out there was a highlight. Michele was great to communicate with, getting back promptly to any of my inquiries. We could not recommend this house more highly. It was even better than the pictures.

Brandywine Valley Base Station
"Downingtown Manor" was a good place to stay while visiting the attractions in this area. The house sits on top of a hill overlooking a park and Brandywine Creek. With excellent weather during our stay, we especially enjoyed the view and time spent on the sunporch. The photos and listing information are very accurate. But note that the homesite is more urban than the rural surroundings you might expect from the photos as the front of the house also overlooks a dental office's large, well illuminated parking lot. On the plus side it is conveniently located near the intersections of the main streets of "downtown" Downington. The house was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked. The hosts very responsive and helpful. Aside from his vehicle in the parking area, you wouldn't know that you share the house with a full-time tenant in the lower level. A good value and all good for anyone who prefers the charms of an historic, unique place to stay.

We rented the Downingtown Manor for a small get together with some old friends. The house is beautiful with many aspects that encourage relaxation and comfort. I would absolutely rent this again if the situation arises.

Christmas by the Creek
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful farmhouse. The property was just as described with plenty of space for our two families to relax and hang out between family events over the course of the holiday weekend. And the owners even decorated for Christmas which made it even cozier. The sun room is a lovely place to enjoy a cup of coffee while looking out over the Brandywine Creek before heading out for a walk on one of the trails close by or to the downtown area for a meal. The owners were great at communicating all throughout the process. Should we need a place to stay next time we are in the area we hope to return!
