Try the Botanical Art House in Chadd’s Ford (AirBnB). There are multiple rooms listed separately, but you could try to get the whole house. It’s very comfortable and convenient to everything.

The Inn at Montchanin Village & Spa
I stayed here years ago. So much fun. They had a few small cottages to rent, or hotel rooms. Also restaurant and spa on site. near everything in brandywine.

OP here. I have been looking for the past week and have come up with nothing. We do not want to stay in a hotel. I did find many promising homes in the Poconos. Maybe we will meet there intead.

Second the Inn at Montchanin Village, They have 2 bedroom suites at reasonable rates and an excellent restaurant, Krazy Kats.

If you insist on staying in the are just stay at the inn at Montachin village or stay at a hotel outside of philly or in Wilmington

Wilmington

Is it better than the Bethesda Terrain store?

I was thinking the same thing.

I looked at the pictures online. The Glen Mills PA location looks much larger and more extensive.

It is like people who want to spit a 5 hour road trip over two days.

Op here. I am looking for a place to meet my parents. They live in NY. We live in VA.

We also don’t like long day trips. We would rather make it a weekend trip.

OP, I am in your shoes as well and agree it's hard to find a good rental in that area! And I work for a company headquartered in Wilmington so I get it.
Delaware has been problematic with its constant on/off the NY quarantine list.

If you don’t want a hotel, look on Airbnb in Chadds Ford, West Chester, or Kennett square in PA or north Wilmington, Greenville or Hockessin in DE.

The museum in Chadds Ford is called the Brandywine River Museum and the artists’ last name is Wyeth (NC, Andrew, and Jamie, grandfather, father and son).

Have fun, it’s a lovely area.
