Even though our home is located in a beautiful, rural township containing 200 year old houses and colonial iron makers' mansions, we are also only about 1 hour from Philadelphia PA, Lancaster PA, Harrisburg PA, and Wilmington DE, and hours from NYC. Within 1/2 hour, or less, you can find Valley Forge National Park, Hopewell National Park, Brandywine Battlefield, Longwood Gardens, French Creek State Park, and PA's Amish country. There are miles of incredibly beautiful roads to walk, lots of quietude to be had, and maybe an occasional fox hunt to observe. Our house has wifi and basic satellite TV, and we need someone to care for our cat 'Roo' and our houseplants for about three weeks at the end of March and beginning of April 2018.
