Cozy place to gather with friends

The property was easily accessed, with more space than expected - my fiancee and several of her friends stayed there the weekend of her bridal shower and they loved having the space to be together, have a cozy dinner, and chat.

Good but steep hill to entrance

The property served our interests well but there is a steep climb from parking to the front door that posed a challenge to two in our group. The climb is barely visible in the listing.

Family Reunion

Great location with charming ambience. Kitchen & bathrooms are all well stocked. Served 5 senior adults well (although anyone with mobility issues would have difficulty). Will probably stay here again if I’m in the area.

Quiet, comfortable, convenient

This property is beautifully maintained and contains all of the amenities we wanted. Three bedrooms accomodated our group comfortably, and the availability of two full bathrooms is a true luxury. It's exquisitely quiet on this property, yet convenient to so much in the western Philly suburbs. In short, we enjoyed a superb stay here, and we can fully recommend it.

Convenient and Cozy

We enjoyed being surrounded by a forest while still being convenient to everything. The house had absolutely everything you need. The building dates back centuries and was once part of the Radnor Fox Hunt Club; parts of it have the character and quirks of a very old home. We stayed during frigid temperatures but thanks to the wood-burning stove we kept warm. No dishwasher but there are plenty of dishes, silverware and glasses, so you didn't have to wash every time someone used a dish. The kitchen could be updated but we didn't spend a lot of time there and it had more than the basics, such as a blender, toaster oven, etc. Every bedroom has a large TV. The house is very soundproof. The property is not within walking distance of anything, so you'll want a car. We had our two dogs with us and they were happy to have a large space to roam. The host was extremely communicative and helpful. We would stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Sheila Shalev

I am a mother to 4 adult children, I enjoy the outdoors, tennis, golf and soccer. I am a property manager and work out of my home which is the main house on this property located on the same grounds as the carriage house.

Why they chose this property

The carriage house is located an a 4 acre estate and was once part of the grounds to the original Radnor Hunt Club over 200 years old. The Hunt Club still exists but was moved to a larger area off of Route 252 in Berwyn. The beauty of the woods and charm of the main house and carriage house made this an easy decision to purchase. After living in the main house for 8 years we decided it was time to rent out the carriage house and let others enjoy the serenity and beauty of the area.

What makes this property unique

This property is located against a hill filled with trees and an acre of trees along the street in front of the house provides the serenity and privacy that one needs while on vacation or returning from work. With plenty of private parking one can enjoy a stroll along the long driveway or sit on the porch and enjoy the outdoors. We are also a short drive to a few parks and a dog park.
