Escape to the Blue Lotus, a serene cottage located in walkable downtown Kennett Square and within minutes from the world-famous Longwood Gardens. Thoughtfully designed for rest and connection with deep rich color & themed around the Lotus flower, Lilly pads, Ferns, Birds & nature. This intimate retreat offers peaceful garden views, cozy luxury, and the perfect setting to unwind.
The space
Tucked on a quiet cul-de-sac just steps from our main home, The Blue Lotus offers the rare combination of privacy, walkability, and one-level living in the heart of Kennett Square. Stroll to local shops, restaurants, and cafés, and reach world-famous Longwood Gardens in just minutes. Surrounded by thoughtfully designed gardens, this peaceful retreat feels both connected and tucked away.
Recently reimagined with deep, rich tones and layered textures, the cottage blends boutique design with everyday comfort. Every detail has been intentionally chosen to create a warm, inviting space that feels calm the moment you arrive.
The queen bedroom is designed for exceptional rest. A luxurious fern-patterned duvet, vintage heron prints imported from Poland, floral vine bedside lamps, and a William Sonoma fern chandelier create a serene, garden-inspired atmosphere. Guests frequently comment on how comfortable the bed is and how deeply they sleep here.
The living area invites you to settle in. A jewel-toned reading chair with flower-shaped ottoman offers a cozy corner to unwind, while the large drum coffee table anchors relaxed evenings. An Anthropologie rug in chocolate and soft floral tones adds warmth and softness underfoot. Small curated touches—like charming framed mushroom art—add personality without overwhelming the space.
The flexible layout makes the cottage ideal for couples, solo travelers, business guests, and longer stays. A convertible desk transforms into a dining table for two, perfect for meals, remote work, or planning your Longwood visit. Strong Wi-Fi makes working here easy and reliable.
The kitchen features quartz countertops, shimmering blue glass subway tile, and stainless-steel appliances—fully equipped for morning coffee, simple meals, or cozy evenings in.
The spa-like bathroom includes a tiled glass shower, patterned flooring, and a private laundry room for added convenience.
Step outside to your private patio with table and umbrella—ideal for morning coffee or relaxed evenings under the trees. Dedicated off-street parking makes arrival simple and stress-free.
If you’re visiting Kennett Square for Longwood Gardens, a weekend getaway, business travel, or an extended stay, The Blue Lotus offers a refined, peaceful place to land—walkable, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed.
Guest access
Gravel Parking space right next to cottage. You can walk in to town thru our back fenced in area (just make sure the gate is securely closed) and we are happy to help you get your bearings. There's a parking garage in town that's super accessible. Parking meters work with the Passport parking app.
Other things to note
The front door locks automatically so keep the code with you. Roku TV - let us know if you need help. Please take a look in the closets & all the drawers so you are familiar with where all the essentials & extras are. Feel free to call us or text us as well. There's a switch next to the kitchen counter for the garbage disposal & an overhead light. There is both a drip coffee machine and a Nespresso with pods and frother. Laundry pods provided & dishwasher tablet starter set provided. We do have a cot for a 2nd or 3rd sleeper but we only bring it over if it is requested in advanced and the extra guest is approved. We are embedded in our community and would love to fill you in on the area!
