Heather made everything extremely easy and the cottage was so cozy during a bitter cold Philly weekend. It was super easy for my daughter to take the train from temple for a fun day/night of shopping and eating in Manayunk!!
This house was the perfect location for easy access to main street and all that the area has to offer! Check in process was easy and we had great communication with the host! Would stay here again!

Thank you for staying with us! We appreciate that you took good care of the Trinity Cottage!
The property is very well kept and offers amazing charm. Walkable to many great restaurants and shops. The host was very easy to work with for check -in/out.
Perfect for a short stay when you have a busy weekend. Clean, Convenient and centrally located.It was just what we needed and the owner was very helpful. Very Cute and Safe.
Cottage is ideally located within Manayunk and very close to the train station, with trains into Philadelphia and links to the airport. Cottage is very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. Communication with Heather the host was good throughout the whole process. Would highly recommend.
Lovely, historic-feeling home. Corkscrew staircase could be difficult to navigate for small kids or anyone with mobility issues. Quiet neighborhood. Easy walk to Main Street. Parking was an adventure!
We stayed at Trinity Cottage for three nights when visiting family in the area. Everything is set up in such an attractive and hospitable way- the place had everything that we needed. We appreciated the ecologically sound soaps and paper products, too
We were worried about safely negotiating the very steep and twisty stairs, but that concern made us extra careful and we had no problems.
Our stay was very peaceful and quiet, and we loved the atmosphere. We would definitely stay here again.

Essence of Manayunk
The cottage itself is lovely — a miniature abode beautifully furnished. Plenty of thoughtful lighting, plush towels, comfortable bedding. Prospective guests should be forewarned that staircases (two) are steep and winding, and the bathroom sink is the size of soup bowl. Also, the free parking lot on Gay Street is conveniently located but barely accessible — no marked entrance, exit or spaces.
The townhouse is in the perfect location for a weekend in Manayunk - easy walk to restaurants and train station. It’s on a quiet side alley/street which we appreciated.
The renovation is tastefully done with special attention to making the most of small spaces and the gas fireplace heater was a lovely touch. High end appliances, good mattresses and lovely linens/towels. The stairs are steep but I am an agile 72 year old and with the handle bar and railings had no problems getting up and down.
We would definitely recommend.

We were in Philly for my brothers 40th birthday. Although the party was on the opposite side of the city, we found this house and thought it might be nice to explore additional areas of the city. Parking was a little bit difficult, but in the evening we were able to walk down to the little area nearby And get something to eat. The house felt quaint. It made me imagine that my great grandfather, a Welshman, who immigrated to Pennsylvania might’ve set up a HomeKit and that this could’ve been their first stop.
Manayunk is a vibrant neighborhood in Philadelphia, known for its safety. The restaurants, coffee shops, and bars on Main Street are less than a five-minute walk from the cottage. Access bike and walking trails within minutes of the cottage.
What makes this property unique
The Trinity Cottage is a historic home from Colonial Philadelphia. It is a trinity, which means a room on each floor. Each floor is connected by original spiral stairs. Please make sure you are comfortable with this type of stair and do not have any mobility issues. It is recommended that you travel light, so you don’t have to carry large, heavy, or oversized suitcases up the stairs.
We renovated the cottage to preserve the historical features of both the interior and exterior, while adding updated and modern conveniences.
The Trinity Cottage and the Saint Davids Cottages are side-by-side. Please reach out to Heather should you need to book both at the same time. We hope you enjoy your stay!
