CONTACT US FOR 10% WEEKLY DISCOUNT Nestled in the heart of Chester county, the Brandywine Lodge is a colonial and Victorian-themed farmhouse, just minutes from local Amish farms, the Brandywine River, Longwood Gardens, and various local historic sites. Take your stay to the next level by attending one of our offered classes on traditional skills such as painting, sourdough making, plant propagation, kombucha making, and home canning. Please see below for class lengths and prices. The Lodge was recently renovated and carefully staged to transport you back in time to the 1800s, while still offering the modern conveniences. Our kitchen is fully stocked with a coffee maker and Keurig, blender, toaster, and microwave. You are welcome to use the washer/dryer at no additional cost. There is also a dedicated workspace with an ethernet plugin, making it a perfect location for remote work or longer stays. Feed the chickens! The Lodge is attached to a larger working farm where we make our own poultry feed. You can feed the chickens or try your hand at fishing in our fenced pond.
