My wife and I stayed here for one night while at a wedding in the area. We splurged and rented the cottage. The space is really quite spectacular with every amenity of home one can imagine. What a great place to stay if you are on business in the area and would like to be able to cook meals for... More

my husband and I were travelling to Philly and decided to stay here, based on the good reviews. i must say - believe the hype about this place, people!!! when we pulled up, the house is absolutely stunning. it looked like something out of a Better Home & Gardens magazine. then when we walked in, Judy greeted us right away...

While visiting grandson at Swarthmore we stayed at the Alpenhof which is 10 minutes from the college and in an idyllic setting just outside Media, Pa. Owners very attentive and full breakfast included. Room ( Master Suite) spacious and quiet for a B&B. Very popular so make reservations early.

Judy and Roland were very friendly and helpful and the rooms were great. We made the reservations on short notice so there wasn't a room available for both days. Changing... More

 Second, Judy and Roland collaborate to prepare ample breakfasts of pretty much whatever standard... More
