Girls trip after a wedding in the area we wanted to visit longwood gardens. I actually messed up my reservation and contacted the owner in a panick and she was able to accommodate us. Lovely property, clearly a designer and contractor team had remodeled this historic home.

Near Longwood Garden

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.

The house was very clean and the inside looked exactly like it was posted on the Vrbo site. It looked like it had been curated by an artist or a designer, and all of the furnishings were very comfortable. If we had had children staying with us the fenced in backyard would have been a wonderful play area. However, I can’t emphasize enough how loud the traffic is in the living room in the front bedroom we had to turn the TV up pretty loud to even be able to hear it between 4 and 9 PM and four and 9 AM. Fortunately, we slept in the back bedroom with the king bed and it was relatively quieter back there. The outside look like it needed a bit of cleaning- lots of spider webs on the lights and dead plants when we drove up and did not look like the picture on the website. We were a bit worried until we went inside. And the instructions we were sent were not up-to-date because they had changed the lock on the door and the Wi-Fi code had a capital letter when it shouldn’t have. I then had to text the owner and while they were somewhat pleasant, they also made me feel like I was not smart enough to get in the door. They even made the comment that someone had just stayed there before me and had not had any problem. However, I will say that the owner was prompt in responding to my text and helped us work through it.
This is a side photo of the house. I hope it is in the process of being painted and not in just disrepair. Only the side of the house we came in was painted fully.

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.

Long family trip

Owner had very good communication and listing was accurate. However, road is very busy and loud. Recommend bringing sound machines for better sleep. Could use deeper and better cleaning and upkeep, but it's fair.

Charming historic home on noisy road

This home is very lovely & clean, with a spacious backyard, neat historic elements, spot on decor and quality mattresses & pillows. It might not be a good fit if you are unsteady on your feet or a light sleeper--the tub is a bit tricky to navigate (there is a non-slip mat in the closet) and there are stairs and thresholds to be mindful of. There is a traffic light a few feet from the front porch on a very busy thoroughfare with 18-wheelers passing by at all hours. We did utilize the home's speaker system to play white noise overnight. There were no written instructions in the home, so we had several questions. The owner was always quick to respond, albeit her tone seemed defensive. It is a very quick drive to Longwood and conveniently located.

Great house

The house was wonderful, kitchen well equipped. The only issue we had was the downstairs of the house was very, very cold. No matter how high we turned the heat only the upstairs got warmer. That was the only issue we had, everything else was great.

April 2025 Weekend for Family Wedding at Winterthur

Overall the property was charming. The original flooring and renovations are very nice. The host was extremely responsive via the app which was much appreciated.I wish that I’d given more thought to the reviews stating road noise had been a challenge. I did not think much of it having grown up on a main road and being a deep sleeper. This house is RIGHT next to the road (speed limit 45 mph) and at an intersection with a light. It’s NOISY and some vehicles shook the house. My husband (who is a very light sleeper) had to stay at another VRBO with family.

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 house is very deceiving from the outside but lovely inside. It is located minutes away from all the wonderful local tourist sites. Our only complaint was the loud traffic so close to house making it difficult to sleep. Otherwise, it was perfect for our needs.
