About this property

Our 3-bedroom twin home, built in 1900 features many original architectural details from the period. Enjoy our oak floors, front porch w/swinging bench & back deck w/grill overlooking the rear garden. Each of our 3 bedrooms has a comfortable queen size bed: rear bedroom, larger front bedroom and the renovated 3rd flr space (quietest room). The single futon in front room can be easily positioned anywhere on 2nd floor. Window units provide a/c (modern, quiet, remote-controlled) - remote-controlled ceiling fan in kitchen and front bedroom. Kitchen is fully equipped - chefs will be hard-pressed to find anything missing! Full-size refrigerator w/bottom freezer. Flat-screen Smart TV w/Apple TV (Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, etc) in living-room and complimentary WI-FI throughout the house. Wireless printer available for guest use on 2nd flr. New user-friendly thermostat for heating control (located in D/R). French doors off kitchen open onto rear deck with outdoor seating, table and shade umbrella - lovely space for breakfast in summer. Electric outdoor grill for BBQ.. Guest Access: Front door is keyless entry. You will have the privacy of this home all to yourself. Interaction with Guests: We are available by mobile phone any time during your stay. We'd love to share what we know about the neighborhood: good food, coffee shops, shopping, parks, gardens, etc. The Neighborhood: Bryn Mawr is located on The Main Line, an older suburb of Philadelphia. Our house is on a quiet street within walking distance to the center of Bryn Mawr, with numerous shops, restaurants and all the usual amenities of a neighborhood. Center city Philadelphia is approx 12 miles away, by car or SEPTA train. Close to several colleges and universities: Villanova, Haverford, Bryn Mawr, Rosemont, Swarthmore, Immaculata, Gwynedd-Mercy, Arcadia, Penn, Drexel, Phila Univ.

Our house could probably accommodate more but 5 adults will comfortably enjoy the space and furnishings.

A great alternative to having to rent 2 hotel rooms!

Like staying at a thoughtful friend's old house in a nice neighborhood

We've stayed before and will stay again. Comfortable, organized, convenient to Haverford where we were visiting our offspring. One can take Zoom calls from upstairs desk while others hung out downstairs. Kitchen well-equipped to facilitate cooking. Good book shelves. Great to be able to park in the garage. A nice old house and attentive host.

Wonderful family stay!

We had the best time and loved the house. Also so easy to walk to shops and cafes in town. We could not have been more comfortable! Will definitely come back to this house and would highly recommend it.

A wonderful "home" for the holidays

Our family loved staying in this wonderful Bryn Mawr home just before the holidays. I can't say enough about its cozy upstairs. Everything was carefully labeled and clear. We were never confused about how to find or use anything. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. Extra bedding, pillows, towels, and beyond...check, check, and check. We felt so comfortable and at home. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Rod Carroll

I enjoy Life, my family, playing tennis, golf, traveling to anywhere and everywhere, good food (Mediterranean cuisine especially) and good wine, exercising, new ideas, non-fiction, historical novels, history, watching Premier League soccer games on TV (Liverpool and Barcelona are my two favorite teams). My favourite movie is The Godfather (2) with The Deerhunter a close second but then there's The Irishman, Being There...and who doesn't love Casablanca? I was born in Liverpool in England and grew up in Dublin, Ireland. I have lived in the US since the 1980's....

Why they chose this property

Great location - Situated in the mature suburbs of Philadelphia known as The Main Line, we're 30 ms to Phila., 10 mns to I-476 and thus 2 hrs to Manhattan , 2.5 hrs to Washington DC, 1.5 hrs to beaches, 1-5 hrs to PA mountains.

What makes this property unique

I have lived on the Main Line and worked in the Education field for many years. Bryn Mawr is a great base for visiting local colleges and universities. Haverford College, Bryn Mawr College, Rosemont, Villanova University, Swarthmore College, Arcadia University, Univ of Penna, Temple are all within a reasonable drive of our house.
