Oasis
We had a lovely, cosy holiday stay with beautiful decorations and extra goodies to make it even more festive. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking and the beds were super comfortable. Kathleen responded rapidly and super kindly to all our questions. A great pick!

Stony Knoll Farm
The home is beautiful and has tons of character. It's also in a beautiful setting and feels very homey. Would definitely stay there again.

Stately Home * Bucks County * Pool
I came back to PA for my dad’s funeral and we chose to stay here because it seemed like a great location for the kids and it was perfect. We had a very nice stay. The yard is incredible and the location is absolutely perfect. Close to Tyler State park and central to everything. The kids spent so much time outside in the yard.

New Pristine Suburban Escape
This place was amazing to stay at! We loved the huge kitchen and there was plenty of space for our family of five. Our kids had a great time running around the big backyard and we went on several walks around the local neighbourhood, which was very picturesque and peaceful. What a lovely place to visit!

Fun for 8
The game room was absolutely amazing and the hot tub, also a highlight . We loved the bar and the frosted glassware. The hosts were present/available without being at all intrusive. There were ample bathrooms and shower facilities with towels a’plenty. The beds were comfortable and the fire place,an unexpected bonus. The kitchen facilities were roomy and fully stocked. It was clean, comfortable and tons of fun- worth every penny 😊

Pool Palace_ PremiumOutlets_Rt42
We had a nice stay at the property for a family occasion nearby. We needed a lot of beds for the adult children that joined, which the place provided. The beds were clean and comfortable. There was plenty of room to spread out, lots of TVs and eclectic furnishings. I regret we were not there in the summer season to enjoy the pool and deck area which we imagine are lovely when set up.

West Chester, PA entire home
We had a nice stay at Caryle’s house. It was a nice location to explore Longwood gardens, Wintertur, and Philadelphia. Neighborhood was quiet. The house was nice and clean and we felt right at home. Caryle was very responsive and proactive.

6-Bdrm Oasis Private Pool, Sesame Place, Princeton
House was clean and as depicted. Owner was very helpful, flexible, and quick to respond. House was secluded enough but also right off the interstate. I wished it came with a few more necessities like paper towels but otherwise a great stay. I’d definitely recommend this place!

Hidden Gem Townhome/2 BRs -University City
Ivy was an incredible host for our night! Very responsive and the place was spotless. The garden area is so beautiful, especially at night with all the lights! We hope to stay here again in the future :)

Lombard Place | Close to Everything
We absolutely loved our stay at Leonard’s place and wished we could have stayed longer! The location was amazing for exploring by foot, or we could pick up Ride Indigo bikes from round the corner. Parking was sincerely appreciated, we fitted a RAV 4 in the space with no issues. Would stay again and recommend to others.

Home Away From Home
We visited Philly for my sister’s wedding and luckily came across Junior’s place. It was clean, had everything we needed and was near so many stores and restaurants. The house itself was clean, just like the pictures and all of the beds were so comfy we overslept. The patio out front was perfect for us to sit out, laugh and talk and totally felt safe. It got chilly one night and we were able to easily adjust the temp with the smart thermostat. The water pressure was amazing and hot water was available for all 5 of us with no issues. The rain shower head in the main bedroom felt great and prompted me to order one for my own home off Amazon to install. Overall I am definitely staying at Junior’s place when we visit Philly in May, July, the Roots Picnic, and when my sister has her baby in September. I’ve officially found my favorite AirBnB!!!

Hot tub on Roof deck + Skyline view
Incredible spot. Hot tub on the roof has a beautiful view of the city and it felt very private. I would definitely stay here again

Family Home near Philadelphia, Chestnut Hill Area
Great house and easy ride into Philly. Close to all the colleges, but not in an area with college kid houses. Great back yard for kids.

Large Family Home w/ Bi-Level Roof Deck!
Great place! My wife and I stayed 6 nights with our 4 kids. One daughter did a week long summer ballet program nearby. The house was very nice. Plenty of space for everyone. We used delivery services for groceries. Location was ideal. Reanimator coffee shop (across the street) was our go to every morning. We walked to restaurants in the area. Having the SEPTA station nearby on Broad/Federal St was helpful but we also took an Uber to downtown for $7 to $20 depending on time of day. Kitchen had everything we needed to make dinner one night. Enjoyed having family time watching Olympics in the living room together or playing Scrabble at the dinner table. We used the washer and dryer since we had traveled over a week from home. Asli and Mike messaged/texted to make sure we had everything we needed and answered quickly when we had a question. They even dropped off some paper towels on day 2 after we had texted so we felt very cared for. Would definitely stay here again if in Philadelphia!
