Lisa's house is lovely. Everything was immaculate. The house is well-appointed, with great attention to detail and everything that a guest could possibly need for even an extended stay. It's also in a convenient location, only a short drive or 10-minute walk to Main Street. There was always ample parking on the street, right in front of the house. I highly recommend.

This was a good place to stay while visiting family. Just an 18 minute walk to Main Street. The neighbors are friendly and quiet. There are no homes across the street, so parking is very easy. I could always park in front of the house. The furnishings are high quality. The internet is a dream (5G). The kitchen is in good shape. Absolutely everything was very clean. I really enjoyed my stay and will use it again!

From the minute we stepped into this lovely home, we felt welcomed. Water and snacks were provided, extra toiletries were available if needed, and even a sweet”happy birthday”balloon was waiting for our daughter to celebrate her special day. The house was cozy and exactly as advertised. We enjoyed every minute of our stay.

Thank you for your stay and glad you liked the house. Unfortunately during your weekend our long time neighbors were moving so there was a little more activity on the street. Nothing other than a moving truck and men moving out the contents of the house.

Lovely home with special touches

We enjoyed our stay. The home was very clean. There was an abundance of toiletries, snacks, towels, kitchen items, laundry necessities, etc. I felt like the owner knew me when I found the coffee and half and half in the fridge. The story of the history of the place was special to read. Instructions for check in and check out were clear. Very nice visit and we would stay again. Thank you.

The place is a row home, with plenty of amenities inside and all parts functional. From the front door you enter into a living room, then to a dining room and then the kitchen (which is the back of the house).We were there, unfortunately, to attend a family funeral followed by a celebration of life on the next day. So, needless to say we did not have much spare time, Still, one bathroom worked fro 3 persons and the kitchen was where we sat around and ate breakfast at the start of each hectic day. I liked the Kerig coffee machine and the choice of coffees and our son like the tea selection.

Our family stayed at "Just Like Mom's House" for the Fourth of July weekend. We made the reservation months prior, but truly the timing was perfect as Philadelphia was experiencing a historic heat wave. The house was so comfortable and inviting. The air conditioning worked so well with window units on the second floor and central air on the first floor. After a storm, the air cooled down so we could enjoy spending time in the backyard area, playing games and eating breakfast while admiring the pretty garden and doing some bird watching. Parking was a breeze and we always got a spot right in front of the house. The kitchen was very well stocked, including an air fryer, various snacks, and bottles of filtered water. The bathroom was a good size and stocked with nice towels and wash clothes along with a rainfall shower. While we didn't walk to downtown Bethlehem, all our excursions were very close by car. We did enjoy the playground and green space which is less than five minutes from the house. Thank you, Lisa! We had a really lovely and relaxing visit and hope to come back again.
