Fodor's Expert Review The Inn at Grace Winery

With a classic stone house at its center, this historic property—part of William Penn's land grant to the Hemphill family—carves out a tranquil 50 acres of Brandywine Valley countryside, including a winery. Among the rooms in the 1734 Quaker farmhouse (part of the main house) is the Dormer, once a hospital for the Underground Railroad. Rooms in the elegant 1815 Georgian addition have high ceilings and traditional furnishings; some have fireplaces. Among the eight "cottages," which are in two buildings, are four rooms with kitchens; the thoroughly modern Hemphill and Brandywine units have gas fireplaces. Both fun and relaxation are bountiful here, thanks to the on-site winery, an honor bar, a billiards room, a library, and an outdoor pool. Breakfast is served in the dining room or on the outdoor patio, both of which overlook the resident horses and goats.
