Guest rating: 5.0 / 5
Overview
Charming 5 bed Mountain Home in National Preserve is a peaceful, woods-surrounded home set into a hillside in the White Clay Creek Preserve area near Delaware City. It’s positioned as a quiet, romantic getaway with wildlife frequently visible around the yard and a sense of privacy (no nearby neighbors). The property is smoke-free and pet-friendly.
Home layout & interior
The source notes a newly built 3-bedroom home with notable upgrades such as hardwood floors, ceramic tile, granite finishes, and wall-to-wall windows. There are no blinds, emphasizing the secluded setting and open views into the surrounding woods. A lower level currently has cement floors, which may feel more utilitarian than the rest of the home.
Amenities & recreation
In-home conveniences include air conditioning, a full kitchen, washer, cable TV, and paid Wi‑Fi. A large deck/patio extends the living space outdoors. The home also lists an 80-inch TV and a Peloton for on-site workouts.
Location & nearby dining
The location is described as close to the University of Delaware, Fair Hill, Longwood Gardens, Kennett Square, and Wilmington, with Philadelphia about 45 minutes away. Nearby dining options include The Haven Social (~1.8 km), Daddy’s Kitchen (~3.6 km), and a range of additional restaurants within roughly 5.6–9.0 km such as Ugly Dumpling, Bongou, and Corner Cove Restaurant & Bar. For flights, Wilmington Airport is the closest listed option (~15.3 km), with larger hubs like Philadelphia International Airport (~48.1 km) farther out.
Best for
This home suits couples and nature-focused travelers who want a quiet, wooded setting with a high degree of privacy (no neighbors and expansive windows). It also works well for longer stays or small groups who value at-home amenities like a full kitchen, washer, cable TV, and a large deck/patio. Guests who travel with pets may appreciate that it is explicitly pet-friendly.
Travel tips
Plan on driving: the setting is in and near a preserve area, while most restaurants are a few kilometers away, and Wilmington Airport is about 15 km from the home. If you prefer more light control or privacy inside, note that the home’s wall-to-wall windows have no blinds due to the secluded location. If you’re sensitive to unfinished/utility surfaces, be aware the lower level currently has cement floors.
