This is their home with a lot of personal decorations - it is not a bare bones rental. The kitchen is very well equipped, the family room has large comfortable couches and a huge TV, the bedrooms are comfortable and bathrooms very good. There is a nice yard and patio, but one drawback is that commuter train rumbles by frequently just beyond the backyard - noticeable but not too bad indoors and while sleeping. They met us upon checkin, which I understand they may want to meet the people who are coming into their home. But oddly, they stopped by unannounced during our stay "to pick something up". We actually had friends who stayed at this same home another time and they told us the owners also made an unannounced visit during their stay. Even with these drawbacks, I give the home a thumbs up for staying in the area. ##### Philip M. Stayed 2 nights in May 2018 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karl H. 14 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Right Place for Our Needs This was our second stay here. It meets our needs for location and number of bedrooms, plus we enjoy the outside area, ample parking, and historic aspects of the house. ##### Karl H. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2021 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Ann C. 2 Jan 2019 #### Feels like home. We used the home for overflow holiday family and enjoyed the cozy gathering spots in this historic home as a group. The large dining room accommodated all 14 of us, though only 9 slept there. The location is very convenient to stores, walking trails and transportation. If you are looking for sterile uncluttered environment this is not the right location for you, but if you want to feel right at home and part of a neighborhood this will be for you. The hosts are super friendly and very prompt with their communications. ##### Ann C. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2018 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Joshua P. 19 Nov 2018 #### Looks nice. You DO NOT want to stay here. This property looks extremely promising. This is a warning NOT to say here. The house is in a gorgeous Main Line neighborhood and located on a very busy street. The outside + driveway are the best parts. Large area to pull into and the outdoor space is nice. The inside is a mess. Old house with small rooms. This is the owner's FULL TIME HOUSE. There is no closet space to use, the house is extremely dated and there are only 2 showers. The house is filled with personal belongings and hopefully you don't have anything to hang up as each closet is filled to the brim. BEWARE!! This posting is NOT in line with digital expectations. I have stayed at 5 VRBO properties this year and this was the worst BY FAR. Do not stay here. ##### Joshua P. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2018 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Wei C. 14 Nov 2018 #### Disappointed by lack of quality services As the local host of our 50-year college reunion, I rented this house for our guests in mid-Oct. Our observation and experience are different from previous reviews; thus, we feel obligated to share them with the community to help VRBO promote fair, up-to-date, balanced, and objective information. We rented this house for 9 guests for 7 nights. In general, our use of the house turned out to be only 12 hours each day for rest and sleep. For 5 out of 7 days/nights, we had to contact the owner to address a temperature control issue. The house in those nights was either too warm or too cold. When outdoor temperature had a wild swing, typical for mid-Oct. here, our guests had endured similar indoor temperature swing, especially in the 3rd floor attic, due to the house’s subpar insulation. After several nights’ warm and then cold temperature, in the 5th night, our guests decided that it was intolerably cold and asked me to demand the owner to come in to fix the problem. The culprit turned out to be a broken heat thermostat. We believe that the owner’s responses could be more effective (e.g., we were misled to believe that heat was on before the 4th night) and less confrontational (e.g., bringing in a lawyer friend to verify our claims in the coldest 5th night). After the owner verified our claims and identified the problem around mid-night, they found additional blankets for our guests. However, another day passed with no action; the thermostat was fixed on the 7th day. As the result, our guests could not have had good sleep most of the week; this experience casts a tainted mark in our memory of the reunion. This old charming house also comes with old-fashioned hardware, which made our guests uncomfortable, e.g., there is no shower in the 2nd floor hall bath, while the old tub does not seem clean enough for many guests. Most bothersome is that the owners do not seem to be ready for a full house of guests. Retrospectively, this temperature swing is the inevitable extension of many other signs, such as: 1) a personal ring was left on the night stand, and nearly hundreds of personal pictures and memorabilia were placed throughout the house, 2) all closets and hanging posts were fully occupied to leave little room for our guests, 3) a full dirty laundry basket was in the laundry room, 4) the refrigerator and freezer are 50% full of owner’s food, 5) no window treatment in the 3rd floor attic’s bathroom, 6) no info about the thermostats was provide. ##### Wei C. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2018 Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### Philip N. 29 Dec 2017 #### Perfect Fit! This VRBO home was ideal to inaugurate our new sibling reunion. Our proprietress & her husband could not have been more accommodating. Their home was sized right as we need enough bedrooms & baths for our group of three married couples and two additional adults. And plenty of room to entertain both inside and out. Everyone felt right at home. Also ideal is the location. Lodgers can easily access Center City Philadelphia via the SEPTA transit line. Or take a day-trip drive into Penn-Dutch Country. We did both and everyone totally enjoyed themselves. All-in-all, the Mainline Farmhouse checks off all the boxes. Thanks again to Mary & Tim for all your efforts & accommodations. May family couldn't be happier and our stay could not have been more satisfying! Cheers! Phil N. Long Island NY ##### Philip N.

Mary and Tim were very welcoming and responsive. Would definitely come back! ##### Christine M. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2017 Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eric N. 4 Nov 2017 #### Great House. Great Communication. Great Stay! We had out of town guests coming in and it was too many for our house so we rented this property for the week. Our guests were from France and felt like they were staying in a mansion. There is tons of space and lots of places where we could gather as a large group but also plenty of rooms if you need some quiet time. The owners are extremely friendly and genuine. On a few occasions I had some questions both before and during the stay and they always responded immediately. You can certainly get spoiled coming home to this house. The patio area is beautiful and the piano in the dining room is a nice perk if you have someone who plays. We did. And just in case there is a game you need to see the TV is huge. Because, I live locally I doubt I'll need to rent it again, but I may need to look for excuses to do it. Staying here made our week together special! ##### Eric N. Stayed 8 nights in Oct 2017 Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karl H. 17 Oct 2017 #### Historic Beauty We really enjoyed visiting this home and the surrounding area. It was perfect for those of us who appreciate historic structures and also had very nice landscaping. I would definitely stay here again. ##### Karl H. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2017 Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jack S. 6 Sept 2017 #### Lovely home on a large and beautiful property. I had a great experience with a few of my friends at this home. It's an easy walk to the train as well as to many shops and restaurants. There are also some churches nearby that you can easily walk to, if you are interested in that. The house has wifi that works and good water pressure for the showers. The host left out towels on the beds and had clean sheets on the beds. Overall, my group had a great experience and would highly recommend this house to others staying in the area! ##### Jack S. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2017 ---
