About this property

Spacious bedroom in Gladwyne close to main line colleges, center city and more

Great size bedroom with reading nook, couch to watch TV, microwave, mini fridge and coffee set up. Room overlooks a koi pond and the house is set in a peaceful small private lane over Mill Creek. Note that we have a 17 lb Corgipoo named Dior who is protective of the house. She makes a lot of noise but only wants a belly rub! Please let us know if you don’t want to meet her during your stay. Enjoy!

The host was super friendly, welcoming, accommodating and had great recommendations! The property was beautiful, well taken care of and in a nice neighborhood. We were only there for a brief stay to see a show at the Ardmore Music Hall (which was only about 6 min by car), but I would definitely stay here again.

Very peaceful and quiet, leafy retreat in the gorgeous Ardmore area! This home is a very special place to land. Very tidy, safe and private, in a gorgeous tree-filled neighborhood. Hosts were very accommodating and helpful. We will definitely try to stay here again next time we are in the area. Highly recommended!!

You will be so glad if you get to stay with this family. They are just lovely, kind-hearted people and their home is immaculate and beautifully decorated and appointed. They also have the softest bed to sleep in. I hope I’ll get to stay with them again!

My trip had nothing to do with national parks. I’m not even sure why I was part of the question there.This property met absolutely all of my criteria, particularly location and price. It’s actually only my second time using VRBO and the hosts in this case were exceptionally communicative and helpful.

I appreciated how kind and welcoming of an experience this was even though it was only afternoon and overnight. Very well maintained home inside and outside, the bed and couch were comfortable, and don't forget to add an entry to the guestbook they have! I love the forest seclusion of this location while also being fairly close to things you can go to or order from. Would do this again!

Cozy place to rest

I was in the area for a concert at the Ardmore Music Hall (about 6 minutes away) and this was a lovely place to put my feet up before and after the concert. Check-in confused me at first, since it wasn't obvious to me which door to go in and where to go after that, but the host replied quickly with directions. I loved the fresh peonies in the room - such a nice touch, and my favorite flower! I would happily stay here again, if I found myself in the area.

Cozy, quiet, and a luxurious bed

My stay was a lovely retreat after a day working in a hectic retail setting. I instantly relaxed upon entering the suite. The next door bathroom was spotless. I haven’t slept that well in a year—I owe it to the pillow top mattress and comfy comforter. Although it was a brief overnight stay, I would definitely return and highly recommend as Carolyn is so easy to communicate with and her home is lovely.

Comfortable and spacious room with attached bath comprising 2nd floor of host's home. Nice sitting area with cable TV and coffee/tea bar setup with mini frig and microwave. Great location near shops and restaurants (5 minute drive) with parking on private road. Quick responses to messages. Plan to stay here wherever we visit family in Philly.
