This was an amazing property located on Gay Street in the borough. The home was within easy walking distance of everything we wanted to do and see. The home was clean, the host was very communicative, and it was a great place to relax. We would definitely book a weekend here again!

Location was great. Was here a very hot week so paid close attention to multiple AC units to keep it comfortable. Kitchen and bathrooms modernized. Having a garage was very convenient. Historical character in downtown WC. Will stay here again if schedule works.

Thank you Derek for sharing this wonderful property with us. Spotless and meticulous, all details anticipated and provided for. Derek was fantastic both before and during our stay, we could not have been more pleased. The property itself has so much character and so aesthetically appealing. We went to gardens every day - Chanticleer, Longwood, Winterthur, Mount Cuba Center (HIGHLY recommended along with Chanticleer) and came back home to park the car and walk to restaurants and all that West Chester offers out our front door. Will absolutely do this again.

Great location for visiting our West Chester family. The home was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed throughout our stay. We parked our car in the garage and walked through the town every day. The host was very responsive and answered any questions we had before and during our visit. We look forward to returning.
