tep back to the unhurried pace of the past while enjoying the modern conveniences of today in a Brandywine Valley Bed and Breakfast. The Brandywine Valley region is an important piece of our nation's history. In fact, many of our member B&B's are located on property that was part of a land grant from William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania. The Brandywine with its fields, woodlands, and waterpower, is a unique place that has fostered natural and human achievement.

On this land battles were fought, and fortunes were made. Out of those fortunes and a commitment to stewardship have sprung some of the world's most fascinating attractions and large tracts of preserved open spaces. We have four seasons of breathtaking gardens, elaborate mansions, world-class museums, scenic beauty and many cultural points of interest along the way.

Aside from our close proximity to such world-class attractions as Longwood Gardens and Winterthur Museum, the Brandywine Valley innkeepers offer an experience unlike any other in the valley. Sip afternoon tea on a quiet verandah, sleep in an antique bed, curl up with a cozy quilt, relax in front of a warm fireplace, soak in a luxurious jacuzzi bath, take an evening stroll through fragrant gardens, and indulge in a hearty breakfast. Choose from a variety of architecturally styled homes that have been lovingly restored to welcome you. We have federal style mansions, farmhouses, Victorian homes and Georgian manor houses.

We'll help to make your stay in the valley a pleasurable and memorable experience as you enjoy the personalized service that an innkeeper provides. After an uplifting and fun day exploring the valley, we can recommend restaurants that cater to your tastes and preferences. Whether you want a gourmet restaurant or a casual local favorite, you'll find it within reach of your B&B.

INNsights

Oooh can you smell it? Can you hear it? Can you feel it? It's that wonderful time of the year in this very special place,

SUMMER in the Brandywine Valley!

Escape from the city into the incredibly beautiful Brandywine Valley. The sights are breathtaking, driving around in your car or better yet by bicycle, on horseback, paddling a canoe or kayak or even floating through the air in a hot air balloon. After a great night's sleep, and a delicious breakfast, enjoy just some of this area's offerings.

At The Brandywine River Museum the tours for NC Wyeth's home and studio and the Kuerner farm (an inspiration for Andrew Wyeth's paintings for 70 years) are not to be missed. Everyman's Metal: 17th-, 18th-, and 19th-Century Pewter in America Through July 19 & Fruits of Summer: Nineteenth Century American Still Life through  September 7. Don’t miss Victoria’s tours!!

The seven (two new ones!!) members of the Brandywine Wine Trail welcome you to the valley with a wine trail passport that's only available through the area B & B's. Ask about the wineries frequent spring & summer events.

Imagine, in order to house his collection of American Fine Arts, young Henry Dupont had to add "105" rooms to his father's original mansion, Winterthur. You will want to add the Faces of a New Nation-American Portraits of the 18th & early 19th centuries exhibit from July 25th through January 24 th to your list.  And of course all of the regularly scheduled garden programs and exhibits, too numerous to mention, but you will not want to miss.

The Nemours Mansion is open and ready to amaze you with its grandeur. A reservation is absolutely necessary and difficult to get. If you’re interested ask your innkeeper to make reservations for you right away.  Known as the Versailles of the US, the riches inside are indescribable and the gardens absolutely spectacular.

For you book lovers how about a 5-story antiquarian book barn with 300,000 used and rare books, manuscripts, maps and more. Baldwin's Book Barn- what a place to get lost in for a day!

Naturally, Longwood Gardens continues to become MORE each year. This year's venue includes Di Wu, a finalist from the renowned Thirteenth Van Cliburn International Piano Competition on July 1st ,a Blue Highway Concert on July 11th, . Cathie Ryan on July 18th and the Summer Grooves Concert Series. Did I mention The Carillon concerts, the Brandywine Players annual production and the Kennett Symphony’s return with Pictures at an Exhibition in August and there are still "4" big nights of fireworks & fountains, history, education, excitement, and of course beauty..  You will not want to miss any of this. As we’ve told you before…..

The Brandywine Valley truly has it All!!
