WOW! That is all there is to say! What a warm and wonderful home! Perfect and comfortable in every way. Traveling with my husband and 12 year old, mostly for baseball event in Philadelphia. The train was a short walk or drive, and it went right into central Philadelphia! The people on the train were also super friendly! This house is beautiful, private and cozy. The backyard is basically a park, squirrels and chipmunks entertained. Our beds were SO comfortable. Restaurant or take out food available right down the street. Karen was gracious and excellent with communication from the start. She was also flexible with our arrival date, which was so appreciated. Thank you so much for the lovely time! We would love to visit again!

Thank you for letting me stay in your wonderful home. It's beautiful and so relaxed i miss it already. The communication and guides were wonderful, and the location is great for the city or travelling further afield. Some lovely touches with the welcome pack and the local beer. I met the local deer and chipmunks. Great local amenities and felt totally at home. Thank you. I can't wait to come back next time i am in Philly

Karen’s home is lovely and super comfortable for our crew of 7. Karen was flexible to accommodate for our extra surprise guests. She was prompt, informative and helpful. We enjoyed the wonderful backyard with its fire flies and garden lights. The beds were super comfortable. I got my best rest there! The walk to the regional train to downtown was easy allowing us to spend the day in Philadelphia and evenings barbecuing and relaxing. Thank you Karen!

We absolutely adored our stay at the comfy cottage in the Philadelphia suburbs. The home was much more than a cottage, it is luxuriously appointed and had all of the amenities that make home exchanging so attractive. Karen and Harris have lovingly decorated each room and their love of art, antiques, and fine things definitely shows. The bedding was deluxe and our sleep was restful. Being in an excellent location had the home on a popular road; it even came with a train track out back (you have to look over the edge of the fenced backyard to see the tracks down below, I didn't know the track was there for days). Because the home is solidly built, we didn't hear a peep of traffic from road noise or from trains. The kitchen was well equipped, the knives sharp, and the glassware abundant (very nice!). We were able to prepare meals and eat in a beautiful setting in the very large dining room. Both bedrooms are a good size and the main bathroom was recently renovated. I especially enjoyed a few long baths in the soaking tub and felt like royalty. One of our favorite activities was a visit to the essential American history site, Valley Forge National Historical Park. Stellar learning and outstanding outdoor spaces. The finale attraction for us was a timed visit to see jaw-dropping botanical displays and Christmas decorations at Longwood Gardens. If you get a chance to visit Jenkintown, Pennsylvania, just say yes!
