Great location. We walked everywhere. The hills of Manayunk provide a great workout! The parking at the cottage is a bonus! Parking on the streets of Manayunk is a challenge. Heather is a great host. Always available to answer questions.

The house was clean. The bed is very comfortable. Easy walking distance down to Main St, although the walk back is all uphill. It was perfect for two of us for a long weekend.

Everything was great - included parking, environmentally friendly products, fast wifi, keyless entry. The place was super cute and in a great location. Heather was also very kind. We initially had some issues getting in and I called a bit late, but she picked up and was super nice.

What a beautiful property! This modern space was perfect for my partner and I to visit the Manayunk neighborhood while working remotely. They had all the essential kitchen utensils, and we were able to easily charge our Tesla in the off-street parking! Would definitely stay again.

Great Property, Great Location

The property was the perfect location for us to visit our daughter, walk around downtown Manayunk (so many wonderful restaurants), and easily take the train into the city. The property was spotless, had contactless entry, and was accurate to the listing. Free, easy parking on-site was a nice perk. Everything was also newly renovated and modern. We’ll definitely stay here again.

Perfect!

The Shurs Lane Cottage is pretty much perfect - we'd like to live there! The location is great, and having dedicated parking is more important than you may think in Manayunk! The cottage is spacious, comfortable, well-equipped, and full of thoughtful touches. Our only regret is not finding this gem sooner! If it's available, book it.

Lovely Cottage

This is such an adorable cottage about a 15 minute drive from Philadelphia Center City. Train station close by (15 min walk, 3 min drive) with free parking. Very comfy cottage with everything you need. Down blankets were so cozy. The bed and couch were also soo comfortable! Lots of coffee, tea, seasoning, all utensils needed for a family including children. Beautiful updated large bathroom. Lovely private shaded stone patio out back with seating areas and a grill. Free parking next to cottage. I can’t say enough good about this place!
