Very nicely updated historic home. Good parking in the back and easy access to Longwood Gardens. Nice fenced yard. Well-stocked kitchen and roomy living room with foosball. We used white noise to cancel out the traffic.

My wife and I booked here with our 15 month old to celebrate our 2 year wedding anniversary. When we first booked, we were under the impression that we were staying in “Historic Kennett Square” as that was exactly what the house was listed as. Come to find out, we were a 10 minute drive from downtown Kennett Square, on a main highway and a main intersection. We didn’t mind that at first because that was our own mistake for not doing more research on the location. When we first walked in, the inside of the house was immaculate and exactly as pictured. However, there was a strong odor in what my wife strongly felt was cigarettes. The listing said non-smoking. The smell was so strong that we slept with the bedroom windows open, even with the very loud road noise! We contacted the host the next morning and told her we would be checking out early as we both woke up with sore throats. We offered to of course cover the cost for the night we stayed but kindly asked for a refund on the 2nd night as we checked out early. The host did not believe us and went to the property to tell us she didn’t smell anything. At this point, it was our word against hers so we are out 500 for the night. If I were you, I would explore other options.

Response from VrboOwner on Sep 19, 2026
We take all guest feedback seriously, which is why we immediately investigated the claim of a cigarette smoke odor. I personally went to the property and found no cigarette smoke odor whatsoever. I also contacted our professional cleaner, who was at the home before and after this stay, and she independently confirmed that she did not detect any smoke odor either. Our home is strictly non-smoking, and we take great pride in keeping it exceptionally clean and well maintained. We stand behind the condition of our property and feel it is important for future guests to have the facts when reading this review.

Good home base

This property was convenient and perfect for us. It was very clean and comfortable; road noise could bother some but we found it easy enough to tune out. One smallish bathroom but everything else was good for a base from which tour the area.

This place is so beautiful and suited my needs perfectly. I came down to visit my children who live nearby and having a home with a nice backyard was perfect for celebrating a birthday with them. I did reach out to the host with a question prior to my arrival and never received an answer; the WiFi password given is written with an upper case letter which should be a lower case letter (took a few minutes to figure that out). Overall, great stay! I’d stay here again. It is on a very busy road and tends to be loud - not for those who need quiet for sleeping.

Well Appointed lovely home - however it is on the corner of a major road with a traffic light. The constant traffic and braking of heavy trucks made it difficult for sleeping.

Cooper PA experience

We were very pleased with the appearance of the property. The property was decorated very well and contained many amenities to make the visit more comfortable. We especially appreciated the quality of the bedding. We did experience a couple of minor glitches, but these were very quickly and effectively resolved by the owner.
