The location is wonderful. Near the river, in Old City, close to a subway station and many restaurants and coffee shops. We did not use the house much for anything but sleeping since we had a lot of things going on with family in Philadelphia. Stairs to bedrooms are steep and curvy so take them slowly!

Philly Trip

We loved the location of this home and was able to walk to all the bars and restaurants, plus down to the Delaware river. So much history in this area of the city to soak up! The home itself was clean and had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable!

Beautiful historic home.

We had a great stay in the home. It worked well for our family. Close to all the rich history that we wanted to see. We were able to walk to most of the site or take a 10min uber ride to the rest. We had a good day and the kids enjoyed the unique nature of the home.

Nice stay clean and convenient

Home was clean and well suited. Kitchen was well stocked, bed were comfortable and plenty of towel and wash clothes. The only downside was finding parking (parking lot down the street, 20 a day) and you have to walk through the master to the only bathroom. Would definitely stay again

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!
