The best getaway in Delaware is right outside of Wilmington, nestled in the state’s Brandywine Valley, or “Chateau Country.” This historic estate was once a small hamlet attached to the enormous Winterthur estate, but now it has been completely restored and turned into a stunning, charming escape for when you want to get away from it all.
The Inn at Montchanin Village is the perfect winter getaway in Delaware.
The Village itself was 19th-century hamlet, once part of the Winterthur estate. Of course it was a DuPont Property! Now, 11 restored buildings host with 28 guest rooms, spread out across the beautiful, ornate gardens that wind through the land.
The Main building hosts a Great Room with a fireplace, which is perfect for warming up.
Curl up by the fire and make friends with guests, or enjoy some reading time on your own. It's amazing to think this was once the small estate of a DuPont relative.
