Lovely historic home

This is our second time staying at the Cuthbert House. The home is so charming and the location is within walking distance of most of the big historic sites. Sophie is very accommodating and was willing to work with us on a late check out due to our flight leaving later in the day. I truly can’t imagine staying anywhere else when our family adventures in Philadelphia!

Unique opportunity to stay in historic home

Getting to stay in this historic home was such a perfect way to see the Old City sights in Philadelphia. It is on a small cobblestone street just like Elfreth's Alley, but without the crowds. It worked well for our family of five, but be prepared for an aging property, the bathroom through one of the bedrooms, and steep slippery stairs. The beds were comfortable though and the kitchen was well equipped.

Amazing!!!

Everything about this house was amazing! The location, charm, history, convenience made our short visit a memorable one. The house was spotless and the host, Sophie, was wonderful to deal with. The only negative was that we weren't able to stay longer. 100% recommend.

Historic house in an excellent location

We had a wonderful time at this property. The house was old and unique, which we loved. It was perfect for our family of four, with plenty of room for everyone. Located in a very walkable neighborhood, the property is very close to Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, Betsy Ross’s house, and other historic sites. The host was very communicative and wonderful to deal with.

Excellent place and location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. For a family and friends, who wanted to see the historic aspects of downtown Philadelphia this was a great addition. We had a historic place to stay in, as well as to see everything else around old city. I would highly recommend this property.

Annual Grandparents Getaway with Grandchildren

Such a convenient location for exploring all of Philadelphia’s attractions! 70+ grandparents traveled with 12 & 14-yr-old grandchildren for 5 days. We had separate bedroom spaces for everyone , and the living spaces downstairs worked well during our down times. The kitchen was well-equipped for the meals we ate at the house. The neighborhood felt safe & we walked and rode the Philly Phlash bus everywhere. Thank you Sophie for a nice “home away from home” during our Philadelphia stay.

Perfect little house

We had a lovely comfortable time in this little row home on the cutest quiet street. Everything was perfect, though the staircase is not for the faint of heart or socks! Would definitely stay again. Just a short walk from the bell and independence hall, lots of restaurants close by too. Thank you!

Weekend Stay in Philly

We had a wonderful weekend get away for an event at Lincoln Field. This location was perfect. A block to the subway and a short walk to Reading Terminal and many other restaurants. We felt very safe walking everywhere. The house is on an adorable cobblestone street. Old City was a very quaint place to stay. I would recommend this location as long as you can climb the stairs to the two top floors to the bedrooms and bathroom.

Convenient, comfortable, communicative

The location had everything we needed and enough space for our family of six! Sleeping accommodations and home were comfortable, it was conveniently located near everything, and hosts were very communicative and considerate (considering it was cold and snowy they came a few minutes before we arrived to make sure heat was turned up!). Also, convenient parking lots next door and across the street. Thanks for a nice stay!

Old City Charm

Perfect location! Only “complaint” we had is the lack of comfortable furniture. This house is not for you if you’re hoping to kick back and relax or simply hang out with those in your party. Not a single comfortable spot to sit other than your bed. Also, only access to the single bathroom was through the main bedroom.
