Private Historic Residence With Separate Carriage House/15ml From Philadelphia

We were a family of 12 coming from 3 states for our reunion and to visit colleges. Once past the gate there lies a Tuscan retreat wherein we could have been blissfully content all week. This Roosevelt House is like a museum (if the walls could talk) and the grounds are a botanical feast. Even with the treasures inside and out we felt completely comfortable, welcomed in many ways. Upon entering the home we were greeted with wine, Prosecco, Perrier and bright blooms throughout. Items provided included coffee/tea, spices, sponges, soap, ice, plenty of TP…AC and ceiling fans work well; furniture is cozy/family friendly. My favorites are the grand tables inside and out where we dined, chatted, gamed, and puzzled. Weather was ideal for the inviting pool (never smelled chlorine) and grill. The outside space is truly an entertainer’s dream with a sprawling decked out terrace. It is the kind of property where everyone can claim personal space. There are gates around and a large grassy area so Cleo, our terrier, could sniff to her heart’s content. Everything is close-by; we visited beautiful college campuses, Philly Museum of Art, Fort Washington State Park and strolled across the street to a very welcoming church with the historic Union Cemetery. Encouraged by the gardens and the park lining the property we heard birds singing all day. The night sparkled with fireflies. Last but not least the owners Stephen and Stefania have an ease and kindness about themselves: they made sure we were happy. Ursula, my 86 year old mother said it best; “There is an organic serenity to this sanctuary.”

I stayed in this property this pass memorial weekend for my birthday with family and friends. Wow I had a great weekend in this house. Our stay was fabulous. The property was exactly what I wanted. Couldn’t have ask for any better! The pool n grill was perfect the property was stocked with everything imaginable and well furnished. We have stayed in lots of properties and by far this is the best value. We have already talked about renting this property before the summer ends. As per the owner Stephen very quick to response and makes everything so easy. Thank you so much Stephen for a wonderful experience!

This charming home was the perfect place for our extended family to celebrate graduation. It was so spacious and the accommodations were all terrific. The back patio with its beautiful landscaping was the perfect spot to relax. Truly felt like a home away from home. Would surely stay here again!

This house was so unique. Whenever you walked into a room, you felt like you were transported to a new dimension. I would say to myself, “how did I get here and where am I?” The gourmet kitchen was fantabulous! My family loves to cook and the 5 of us could be in there comfortably cooking. The stove was over the top. Lots of places to sit and relax. We had the fire going several nights in the dining room and in the living room. There was one room with a television. Several of the doors took great effort to shut. I had family meet from NY and CA. We were in for a graduation. It took 30 min to get to the college. We all looked forward to getting back to the house. We enjoyed the house very much.

We had a wonderful stay here. The home is beautiful and spacious but also cozy and a great place for family and friends to gather. The owner was incredibly responsive and helpful as we made our reservation and during our stay. We would definitely recommend this home to others staying in the area!
