Hi, we are Mark and Michele Myers and we have been together in Downingtown over 25 years. We raised two beautiful daughters here, have 5 fantastic grandchildren and Mark is part of 5 generations of this town. When these iconic homes became available we simply couldn't resist and hope you love them as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

*** WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY ***
In the North East we could experience snow at any time from November to March or none at all. We don't want to shut the Boat House down but the access road at the present time is NOT plowable. If you choose to book this property from November 1st - March 31st and snow is expected, we will honor refunds up to the arrival day if you choose to cancel. If you choose NOT to cancel and inclement weather is expected, no refunds will be issued after your arrival and you do so at your own risk. We can not plow the access road but you are within walking distance to town.
