Perfect in every way! We had a fantastic stay in this truly elegant space. The host was so kind and helpful. The location is in a lovely, tree lined street that is just minutes away from the highway but you honestly would never know it. It is close by the lovely towns of Media and Swarthmore with plenty of cute shops and restaurants. The space was immaculately clean and tastefully decorated. It appears to be very recently renovated and everything felt so new and clean. It was very well stocked with high end supplies. The beds were very comfortable with cozy soft bedding. We slept great. But, the best part for me was the spectacular gardens on the property. Everything is so well kept and just gorgeous. The little table on the porch is perfect for morning coffee in the garden. We will definitely be back!

About the host

Hosted by Rebecca Davis

Host profile image
Welcome to 10 Ogden! I'm a history professor, gardener, and mom of two kids who live with me half time. It's been a pleasure to update this space as a cozy get-away. I hope you'll love it here as much as I do!

Why they chose this property

I've lived in Swarthmore for over 15 years and chose it as a wonderful place to raise my family (and commute to work!). We are a 15 minute walk to the Septa train station and the sweet "downtown" area, a 10 minute drive to Media (which has great restaurants), and just 25 minutes from Philadelphia. (15 min to airport)

What makes this property unique

The setting! Explore the yard and gardens, and in season, enjoy the outdoor pool! This property was a dream opportunity for us, and we're delighted to share it with our guests.
