The Elkins Park B&B is located in a family neighborhood. The wrap-around porch dates from the 1920s and is couched in Japanese Maples, tall firs and mature rhododendron. Light bathes the first floor through a bank of windows that begin in the living-room and follow the stairwell up to the guest room. The living and dining rooms are spacious with deep window-sills that show the hostess’ sculpture. Breakfast may be enjoyed indoors, or in warmer weather guests can dine in the expansive garden which overlooks the artist’s studio.

On the second floor is the primary guest room. The room has a full-size bed, secretary desk with drawers, bookshelves and two mirrored closets. A pop of color from the attached bath is a contrast to the soothing bedroom wall color. The glass shower is lined with unique purple Italian tiles. The third floor contains two smaller bedrooms, one overlooks the garden and has a full size bed, the other has 2 full size beds. These 2 rooms share a hall bath. All rooms have individual air-conditioners.

The Elkins Park train station, Septa line, is just a block away, and it is just 4 stops from Temple University. The train is only 20 minutes from Center City and continues directly to the Philadelphia International Airport. A Food Coop (including prepared meals) is one block from this accommodation. Three blocks away is Elkins Park Square, home to several good restaurants.

By car, Elkins Park, is 5 minutes from Curtis Arboretum, 10 minutes from the extraordinary Swedenborg Cathedral and grounds, and only 15 minutes from the Morris Arboretum operated by the University of Pennsylvania.

    I sincerely enjoyed my stay in Elkins Park-the owners were warm, friendly, and extremely kind and helpful. The accommodations felt like home- very clean and comfortable. The owners were sensitive to my personal space and ensured my privacy The B+B is located within easy walking distance of a health food market and a restaurant as well as the train station (a quick 20 minute ride to center city in comfort). I highly recommend this B+B and its owners.

    The hosts were the most kind and loving hosts you could imagine. We came in relatively late (around 8pm) and the hosts let us sit in their stylish and cosy living room filled with their art pieces, with our four daughters, drinking a glass of wine and eating popcorn and have a very cosy time as a family. The next morning we had a wonderful breakfast and very interesting discussions with the owners. As first time tourists in Philadelphia and expats from Europe living some years here in the US it is an experience you hope for. Even though we only stayed there for one night, the hosts gave us a truly unique and wonderful stay and introduction to Philadelphia and we would recommend them highly to any visitors to Philadelphia.
