Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is romantic.

Laureleye Farms is a 70-acre horse farm in SE PA with access to great hiking trails and the Brandywine River for floating, dipping, or just sitting. Longwood Gardens, the Brandywine River Museum, Delaware Children's Museum and other Chester County attractions are all within 20-30 minutes. We welcome well-behaved pets on leashes. You can also bring your horse and they can camp out too.Sitting above the Buck Run Creek this historic building was used as a school, chapel and library in the later 1800's. It has a wood stove, but no electricity or running water. Beautiful high vaulted ceilings. There is a table and chairs and plenty of room for camp pads or mattress on the floor. Very quiet and peaceful. Great option for those that want to camp, but would like a roof overhead.

Cute stay in a pretty place

This is a beautiful spot! The building is gorgeous, and seeing horses everywhere was amazing. The tables were appreciated, as was the starter pile of firewood and our host was responsive. Staying here is lovely but prepare as though you are camping. It doesn't have any indoor amenities and the stones trap the cold. There also doesn't seem to be turnover after guests (there was a dog poop bag in the trash can when we arrived) and the road next to the chapel gets residential traffic. Also seems to be a less-than-friendly neighbor, we saw her taking pictures of the cottage while we were in it and she knocked on our door in the early morning to let us know we had dropped a napkin on the ground. Rural but not secluded.

Beautiful space!

The chapel was so rad. Did some cold plunging in the creek behind it. I'm a mariner that lives in washington and rented the chapel to be close to philadelphia for a weekend with a lady friend. It was a beautiful place to lay my head and very conveniently located for adventures in nature and the city alike. I might consider an extended stay here again in the summer. Susannah is a great host. The wood stove provided adequate heat even for my impromptu trip eith rudimentary gear.

My partner and I stayed here and had a wonderful time. The building was warm and cozy and we loved the simplicity of its design. We arrived after dark so finding parking was a little tricky but we figured it out without a problem. In the daylight you can clearly see signs for where to park. The location was beautiful and had a great view of the stars. While packing up, we were greeted by a very sweet dog named Dante and got to see the horses as well. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a rustic simple and peaceful stay.

What a cool place to stay! In the middle of a working horse farm, sits this beautiful little piece of history. Accommodations and host were great!

Historic Beauty

This place was a little historic beauty! It was much bigger than I expected. My husband and I had a great little getaway with our two dogs.
