We stayed for 6 nights, which was too long in this small house. We enjoyed the gas fireplace and close location to our family in a quiet, safe neighborhood. Check-in was very easy with the safe lock. The photos and verbiage need to be updated because there are two beds for four people since the living room sofa has been replaced. I didnât realize that the bedrooms have no dressers for clothes since there is only room to walk around the beds. There is a microwave (a necessity) on the kitchen counter not in the current photos, which leaves less room to work with. It would be great to have kitchen cupboards above the counter rather than a few cluttered shelves. The outside light was not working, and we had a problem with the heat, which Katelyn quickly had resolved A plus would be an instruction booklet for places to go/grocery stores/ TV/ restaurants/thermostat, etc, This small house is overpriced for the value.
I grew up in North Wales so it was nice to stay in town and be able to show my partner around! Super cute historic home. Perfect for the dogs and us to stay for a quick weekend. Had everything we needed. Yes the bathroom is small but itâs a historic home thatâs kind of the deal!
1. The bathroom is so small. I have been in all 50 states and over 40 countries. I haven't ever been able to rest my head on the sink while using the toilet until now.2. The couch is too hard. I had to sit on a pillow!3. The kitchen table shouldn't be made with slats. Things fall on the floor between the slats.4. The tub faucet is difficult to turn completely off.5. The neighborhood is quiet except for the regular train horns.6. It would be nice if the rental provided a hardcopy of important items about the house: location of router, location of seat cushions for outdoor furniture, nearby restaurants/grocery stores/gas stations, how the train (SEPTA) works (how and where to pay for tickets and parking...license plate number required!), best setting for refrigerator to keep things cold but not frozen, etc.7. Plan on using an eye mask for sleeping since both bedrooms are bright from outdoor light before 6:00 a.m.
We usually stay at a hotel in the Lansdale PA area when visiting family but thought about a rental this one time and this house was perfect for our long weekend. Walking distance to the north wales train station. Nice quiet residential street
Itâs a cute cottage. Itâs small but fine for 1 or 2. Beds are comfortable and the fire place was quite nice on a cold evening. Host was responsive to questions.
I loved this little house. I had everything I needed for a week in Philly. There is a bagel shop and a pizza place within walking distance. I would have given five stars on cleanliness, except the couch had lots of hair embedded in the fabric. I used sheets to drape the couch so I could sit without getting hair on my clothes. I think this is a result of cheap fabric, not really the owners fault.
The couch was as hard as a rock. The bathroom was very small, and a larger person would not be able to get between the sink and the door. The beds were comfortable, but very high. A lot of people would not be able to get in the one bed. Our purpose was to spend time and relax, and the couch was just so uncomfortable it really ruined our vacation. The fire place was nice.
It was a pleasure staying in the cottage. Everything we needed was available. The fireplace added a cozy atmosphere while the wind blew relentlessly outside.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay
Very central location in Montgomery County. The cottage house is cozy with many amenities for families including multiple TVs, fenced in backyard if traveling with a pet and a washer/dryer hook up.
Lovely property in a charming neighborhood! We came to visit family and this home did not disappoint. Comfortable beds, easy to use gas fireplace and a back yard to enjoy family time. Looking forward to our next visit.
I canât say enough how absolutely adorable this small home is. The fireplace was just perfect for the chilly evenings. The beds are comfortable and the place is well laid out. We cooked meals as well as dinning out locally in Doylestown. Highly recommended.
My senior parents and children stayed here for my wedding near the area.
We were from out of state and coming and going and this was a lovely home away from home. It is small, but luckily we are a close family!
The back yard and patio is lovely and everything was clean.
We stayed in this home for 3 weeks to scout the area on a potentially relocation in the future. The house is so great, quaint, cozy - perfect for 2-3 people and fenced in backyard lovely! I loved going out there every morning to sit with my coffee. Neighborhood was quiet and clean, neighbors were so kind when you saw them, I enjoyed my daily walks and we ate some of the best food! The Empanada place, Tonys Pizza Palace, Alice's bakery - the list is long! Great little downtown, grocery and other stores so convenient to get to. Messaging / responsiveness with owner was wonderful / timely. We drove 9+ hrs home talking about how much the time flew but what a perfect place it was to stay. Only reason for 4 out of 5 on accuracy of listing is seeking trails or nearby lakes / parks to walk. I was after that and found a few but not as many as I thought or I wasn't looking in the right areas so just more specifics around that as guests stay. Thank you very much!!!!
This place looks so cute online so I booked the place for 4 nights to visit local family.
Positives: The neighborhood is quiet. The backyard is fenced in and shady. The bedroom was small but comfy. Good internet and televisions.
Negatives: This place needs some love and elbow grease. Living room furniture was filthy with stains, smells. Food was found on living room rug. The kitchen stove needs cleaning and equipment. The backyard is nice but we could not use patio furnitureâ cushions were extremely old and dirty. Patio and yard had debris all over that we had to clean up.
Would recommend a hand railing for front steps as my husband fell going down them.
Overall, we were disappointed that this place didnât match up with previous reviews and postingâs photos. Weâve stayed at a number of dog friendly places, but this place has gone to the dogs.
We were in the area to visit family and had my dogs with me. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and family friendly. The backyard is great for pets and was in full bloom during our stay. It was lovely and we're likely going to be staying here again.
Property was as advertised, very clean. The property manager was very communicative and made the process of checkin and checking out easy. Would def recommend this property again for another stay.
It was a very cute property; very homey and welcoming. My husband and I traveled from the Mississippi Gulf Coast to visit our newborn grandson. We spent 7 nights. The Hive Cottage was cozy, clean and comfortable. The only very small issues we encountered were maneuvering the steps without rails and the very snug fit between the bathroom sink and door. We very much enjoyed our stay and would certainly stay again if we have the chance to return.
