Great Property, Great Location

The property was the perfect location for us to visit our daughter, walk around downtown Manayunk (so many wonderful restaurants), and easily take the train into the city. The property was spotless, had contactless entry, and was accurate to the listing. Free, easy parking on-site was a nice perk. Everything was also newly renovated and modern. We’ll definitely stay here again.

Amazing stay!

What a beautiful property! This modern space was perfect for my partner and I to visit the Manayunk neighborhood while working remotely. They had all the essential kitchen utensils, and we were able to easily charge our Tesla in the off-street parking! Would definitely stay again.

Perfect!

The Shurs Lane Cottage is pretty much perfect - we'd like to live there! The location is great, and having dedicated parking is more important than you may think in Manayunk! The cottage is spacious, comfortable, well-equipped, and full of thoughtful touches. Our only regret is not finding this gem sooner! If it's available, book it.

Lovely Cottage

This is such an adorable cottage about a 15 minute drive from Philadelphia Center City. Train station close by (15 min walk, 3 min drive) with free parking. Very comfy cottage with everything you need. Down blankets were so cozy. The bed and couch were also soo comfortable! Lots of coffee, tea, seasoning, all utensils needed for a family including children. Beautiful updated large bathroom. Lovely private shaded stone patio out back with seating areas and a grill. Free parking next to cottage. I can’t say enough good about this place!

Great location, easy access, needs new furniture!

Manayunk is a wonderful town outside of Philadelphia. A short Uber drive into the city for sightseeing worked best so we didn’t have to drive and park.I normally don't complain about furniture, but there wasn’t any comfortable place to sit, either too soft or too hard. I felt like Goldilocks! Lots of people like memory foam mattresses and my husband slept fine, but i was so uncomfortable that i had to take a blanket and pillow and sleep on the couch. Its not like i could ask for a different mattress!.if you're not
