Philly Trip

We loved the location of this home and was able to walk to all the bars and restaurants, plus down to the Delaware river. So much history in this area of the city to soak up! The home itself was clean and had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable!

Warm and welcoming

The place is charming - with fireplaces and winding stairways from colonial days, yet modern heating, and a bathroom and kitchen with all the amenities. We loved that there was a box of tissues in every room. The neighborhood is safe and quiet, and neighbors were friendly. We could walk to all the historical sites that we were interested in. And our host was most accommodating.

Nice stay clean and convenient

Home was clean and well suited. Kitchen was well stocked, bed were comfortable and plenty of towel and wash clothes. The only downside was finding parking (parking lot down the street, 20 a day) and you have to walk through the master to the only bathroom. Would definitely stay again

Lovely historic home

This is our second time staying at the Cuthbert House. The home is so charming and the location is within walking distance of most of the big historic sites. Sophie is very accommodating and was willing to work with us on a late check out due to our flight leaving later in the day. I truly can’t imagine staying anywhere else when our family adventures in Philadelphia!

Great place, heads up the only bathroom is through a bedroom. Not a private space for the room.

Worked out perfectly, loved the historic vibe over all. Just a small amount of up keep needed. Paint on tub is pealing, etc. Over all we loved our stay! Helped the metro is so close and my son lives two blocks away.

Unique opportunity to stay in historic home

Getting to stay in this historic home was such a perfect way to see the Old City sights in Philadelphia. It is on a small cobblestone street just like Elfreth's Alley, but without the crowds. It worked well for our family of five, but be prepared for an aging property, the bathroom through one of the bedrooms, and steep slippery stairs. The beds were comfortable though and the kitchen was well equipped.

Excellent place and location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. For a family and friends, who wanted to see the historic aspects of downtown Philadelphia this was a great addition. We had a historic place to stay in, as well as to see everything else around old city. I would highly recommend this property.

Historic house in an excellent location

We had a wonderful time at this property. The house was old and unique, which we loved. It was perfect for our family of four, with plenty of room for everyone. Located in a very walkable neighborhood, the property is very close to Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, Betsy Ross’s house, and other historic sites. The host was very communicative and wonderful to deal with.

Amazing!!!

Everything about this house was amazing! The location, charm, history, convenience made our short visit a memorable one. The house was spotless and the host, Sophie, was wonderful to deal with. The only negative was that we weren't able to stay longer. 100% recommend.
