Casa de Sweetwater- 3 bedroom- Waterfront
Great location, peaceful and comfortable. Would definitely book again if in the area.

Downtown New Hope Garden Apt on the Aquetong Creek
Clean and comfortable in a convenient location. Cozy and private.

Fresh One Bedroom Apartment in University City
We had a great stay in Philadelphia. The place is very nice and located in a quiet area with plenty to explore nearby. We loved how easy it was to get around, especially with bike stations and great restaurants just a short walk away. It’s also conveniently close to popular attractions, which made enjoying the city super easy. We’d definitely recommend this place!

New Hope's Weekender!
My boyfriend and I had a fantastic stay here. One of the best Airbnb’s I have stayed in. Elyce adds her own personal touch to your stay. We will definitely consider staying at The Weekender again in the future! Sidewalk access was a definite plus, especially if you are looking to go into town for food and drink. Everything is very is clean and welcoming. We enjoyed waking up in the morning and having coffee out on the balcony. Overall, we cannot say enough good things about this place!

Waterfront Getaway 3
What a wonderful stay at Jeff's place! The whole place was stylish, cozy, and I immediately felt right at home. The kitchen was massively stocked with extra appliances and a wealth of spices and sauces to get you started. I basically lived in the bay window overlooking a perfect view of the river, and Jeff was incredibly responsive with great recommendations and helpful tips. Super lovely place, I'll miss my cozy coffee mornings watching the boats go by!

Cobblestone in Historic New Castle
We loved staying here! It was the perfect location to park your car and walk everywhere around historic New Castle. Inside was adorable & comfortable. Amenities provided were a great touch (water, snacks, coffee, tea, toiletries for shower, towels, etc). Bed was super comfy with luxuriously soft bedding! In the front closet for our use was 2 folding chairs, 2 umbrellas and 2 ponchos. Restaurants were across the street and within a block or two walk. Our favorites were Jessop’s Tavern, Rancho Azteca Restaurant and the Mercury Cafe and Tea House. The park and walk along the waterfront was very pleasant. Would definitely stay here again. The hosts were great and we thank them for sharing this place with us.

Airy Apartment
I loved the apartment and had a great time in Lambertville. The location was perfect and the Airbnb charming. I look forward to returning for another visit.

Waterfront Getaway 2
Great location and in reach of a quick walk.

The Canal house (On the Delaware towpath)
This is the third stay at one of Elliott’s homes, the second at The Canal House. We love being able to walk the towpath into town. The house has all of the amenities that you need. The back deck is very private and peaceful. I highly recommend this home!

Serene Retreat on the Canal
My son booked Lire’s Airbnb for a small family gathering in PA. The place was in a beautiful residential neighborhood about 2 miles from downtown New Hope. We enjoyed the proximity to the canal walking trail. The house was extremely well appointed with everything we needed. It was a very roomy and relaxing house. Lire was always available for any questions both before and during our stay and responded quickly. Highly recommend this 5-Star Airbnb!

Come relax and enjoy 450 feet of lakefront living!
We really loved staying here! The lake was gorgeous, and there was a lovely view out on the back patio. It was so relaxing to have a cup of coffee in the morning and look out over the water. The slate path down to the lake is surrounded by soft moss, so it’s very quiet and peaceful. We loved that it was so close to Medford Leas, so we could visit our grandmother. This house is also very near her old farmhouse, so it was nostalgic for us to be in the area again. The rooms were comfortable and well-decorated. The driveway is well-marked with lights so it’s easy to navigate even at night. We had to watch our step a little inside, as there is a slight drop into the central room. Overall a very pleasant experience!

Water View Historic B & B - Gift Card Included
We loved our stay at Packet Alley. This is probably one of the best rentals I have ever stayed at and I would not hesitate to return. The house and grounds were even better than pictured and we enjoyed peace and quiet on the screened in porch overlooking the river. The downstairs of the house felt larger than the pictures so we had plenty of space and lots of natural light. The kitchen was fantastic and the house had everything we needed. Everything in town was walkable from the pier to the historic area. Definitely use the gift card to The Mercury Cafe we ate there twice and the food and drinks were fantastic. We met the owners there and they were all friendly, welcoming, lovely people.

Sweetwater House on the Mullica River
What an a beautiful, peaceful, lovely home May has shared. There were 6 of us on this trip and everyone was very happy with the accommodations. My favorite thing to do was sit on the porch each morning to enjoy the view. The beds were comfortable and the living area was welcoming. We had a small problem but May was very responsive and fixed the issue quickly. We would love to return again

The Cottage at Pennbrook Farm
If I had to describe Amy‘s place in one word, it would be perfect. The cottage is quaint and very private. We enjoyed waking up and drinking coffee on the deck while watching the geese, chickens, and sheep. We even saw some baby sheep. Absolutely magical! We had everything we needed in the kitchen and the bed was comfy. If we come back to the area, we will definitely stay there again.

Creekside Cottage with Pool on the Perkiomen Trail
Very clean inside of home, the pool was beautiful. I wish there was newer grill to use, but it served its purpose. The amount of goose poop in the grass, and overall area was a lot. Not that it’s the host responsibility. A screw to a door hinge pulled out of the bathroom door and made it difficult to close (a very old door,) and the pool gate is very hard to close as the pin to the gate did the same thing. Overall the house was VERY nice and you can’t beat the location for a nice pvt night. 5star in my book! Host was excellent even provided fire wood!

River View Retreat: Lambertville (Unit 1)
Outstanding! Amazing location and so well taken care of. Beautiful and exceptionally clean. Amenities galore and picturesque setting on the banks for the Delaware. Zachary is a great host and responsive! Would stay again in the heartbeat.
