Cooper PA experience

We were very pleased with the appearance of the property. The property was decorated very well and contained many amenities to make the visit more comfortable. We especially appreciated the quality of the bedding. We did experience a couple of minor glitches, but these were very quickly and effectively resolved by the owner.

House was very nice. Close to Longwood and busy noisy road. I had trouble getting information because I did not download VRBO APP, also had trouble with door lock, instructions for door lock did not match the lock on the door. Owner was available and helpful. Beds are very comfortable. Nice place

Beautiful house, cute neighborhood

The interior furnishings and comfort are amazing. Everything was impeccable, one of the nicest home stays I’ve had. I appreciated all the thoughtful details such as the well equipped kitchen, lovely decor, and the outdoor seating. The comments about street noise are accurate. It did quiet down at night, no worse than a city street. Also taking a walk back into the historic neighborhood was very cool. It’s a nice base to enjoy Kennett Square and the surrounding area!

Beautiful home!

This by far was one of the most lovely homes we have stayed in! The owner did an excellent job designing and decorating each and every room. The kitchen was a joy to cook in with beautiful appliances, cutlery and dishes. The bedrooms were beautifully done with comfy, luxurious mattresses, bedding and pillows. The backyard was a great bonus, thoughtfully planned out for people's enjoyment with plenty of comfy chairs, table and grill. In my opinion, the owner went above and beyond with a great many luxurious touches throughout this home, making our family feel very pampered and comfortable, which we appreciated so much! I would highly recommend!

Girls trip after a wedding in the area we wanted to visit longwood gardens. I actually messed up my reservation and contacted the owner in a panick and she was able to accommodate us. Lovely property, clearly a designer and contractor team had remodeled this historic home.

Well Appointed lovely home - however it is on the corner of a major road with a traffic light. The constant traffic and braking of heavy trucks made it difficult for sleeping.

Long family trip

Owner had very good communication and listing was accurate. However, road is very busy and loud. Recommend bringing sound machines for better sleep. Could use deeper and better cleaning and upkeep, but it's fair.

Good home base

This property was convenient and perfect for us. It was very clean and comfortable; road noise could bother some but we found it easy enough to tune out. One smallish bathroom but everything else was good for a base from which tour the area.

Great house

The house was wonderful, kitchen well equipped. The only issue we had was the downstairs of the house was very, very cold. No matter how high we turned the heat only the upstairs got warmer. That was the only issue we had, everything else was great.

Charming historic home on noisy road

This home is very lovely & clean, with a spacious backyard, neat historic elements, spot on decor and quality mattresses & pillows. It might not be a good fit if you are unsteady on your feet or a light sleeper--the tub is a bit tricky to navigate (there is a non-slip mat in the closet) and there are stairs and thresholds to be mindful of. There is a traffic light a few feet from the front porch on a very busy thoroughfare with 18-wheelers passing by at all hours. We did utilize the home's speaker system to play white noise overnight. There were no written instructions in the home, so we had several questions. The owner was always quick to respond, albeit her tone seemed defensive. It is a very quick drive to Longwood and conveniently located.
