Cynwyd B&B

City Line

From the patio with its soothing pond, ascend the spiral stairway to a little bit of heaven.   Beautiful fabrics and oriental accents enhance the contemporary ambience. The sitting area with wet bar offers comfortable seating from which to watch TV or enjoy a movie on the VCR   An attached bath with stall shower completes the suite.

The host’s charmingly appointed Tudor home also offers a more casual third floor suite with a full-size double bed as well as a pull-out couch - perfect for the family visiting Main Line colleges or guests requiring separate beds. Your accommodations are very private, spacious and comfortable. The private bath is located on the second floor at the bottom of the stairs.

 Breakfast is served in the attractive dining room of the main house. During the week, it is continental fare, but on weekends a more elaborate meal is prepared. Located three blocks from the commuter train station, center city and the convention center are a 15 minute ride.  The Barnes Foundation is nearby as are area colleges.

GUEST COMMENTS

“We had a great experience. The host is delightful. The French Toast outstanding. The home is beautiful and the room very nicely decorated and furnished. The bed is very comfortable [nearly as comfortable as our bed at home].  We slept well.  The location relative was perfect.  We would highly recommend this property.” JE

Victorian Splendor

City Line

Built in 1896, this house was designed by the architect Joseph W. Huston, who designed the Pennsylvania State Capitol.  Constructed of Pompeian brick and locally quarried rough stone, this seventeen room home is truly a late Victorian showpiece. In the foyer, the front staircase winds gracefully to the second and third floors where four guest rooms are furnished with lovely antiques.

 Choose the queen bedded or twin bedded room on the second floor, connected by a bath which has a footed tub with shower.  On the top floor are two queen bedded rooms furnished with unique, carved furniture. The large hall bath features a Jacuzzi tub.  Four fireplaces and an abundance of beautiful oak woodwork further add to the charm found throughout. A lovely garden frames the backyard swimming pool.  

The Barnes Museum and St. Joseph’s College are just a short walk away.  It is a two block walk to the local commuter train station.  Within five minutes you will be at 30th Street Station and in another five minutes at the Convention Center.

“Loved it!  The host was charming.  The breakfast was what we needed.  I liked the neighborhood. I could jog and look at all the wonderful houses.  They have done a wonderful job with the house.” PG
