Waterfront apartment accommodation

Casa de Sweetwater- 3 bedroom- Waterfront
Great location, peaceful and comfortable. Would definitely book again if in the area.

Downtown New Hope Garden Apt on the Aquetong Creek
Clean and comfortable in a convenient location. Cozy and private.

Luxe Old City 4Bd/4Bt Duplex: 4x Car Parking & Gym
We have been using AirBNB for years and honestly this was one of the best places we've ever stayed. Built in 2024, elevator comes right up into the room, ample parking. Amazing location with bike share right outside the apartment, riverfront for bike riding and running. Dozens of great book stores, comic stores, restaurants all within walking distance. About 25 minute walk to Chinatown. Heated bathroom floors! Streaming on all TV's. The Superhost returned all my messages within one minute. A plus.

Fresh One Bedroom Apartment in University City
We had a great stay in Philadelphia. The place is very nice and located in a quiet area with plenty to explore nearby. We loved how easy it was to get around, especially with bike stations and great restaurants just a short walk away. It’s also conveniently close to popular attractions, which made enjoying the city super easy. We’d definitely recommend this place!

New Hope's Weekender!
My boyfriend and I had a fantastic stay here. One of the best Airbnb’s I have stayed in. Elyce adds her own personal touch to your stay. We will definitely consider staying at The Weekender again in the future! Sidewalk access was a definite plus, especially if you are looking to go into town for food and drink. Everything is very is clean and welcoming. We enjoyed waking up in the morning and having coffee out on the balcony. Overall, we cannot say enough good things about this place!

Waterfront Getaway 3
What a wonderful stay at Jeff's place! The whole place was stylish, cozy, and I immediately felt right at home. The kitchen was massively stocked with extra appliances and a wealth of spices and sauces to get you started. I basically lived in the bay window overlooking a perfect view of the river, and Jeff was incredibly responsive with great recommendations and helpful tips. Super lovely place, I'll miss my cozy coffee mornings watching the boats go by!

Cobblestone in Historic New Castle
Charming place to stay! A great location, easy parking, and a comfortable space for the weekend.

Airy Apartment
I loved the apartment and had a great time in Lambertville. The location was perfect and the Airbnb charming. I look forward to returning for another visit.

The Canal house (On the Delaware towpath)
This is the third stay at one of Elliott’s homes, the second at The Canal House. We love being able to walk the towpath into town. The house has all of the amenities that you need. The back deck is very private and peaceful. I highly recommend this home!

Serene Retreat on the Canal
My son booked Lire’s Airbnb for a small family gathering in PA. The place was in a beautiful residential neighborhood about 2 miles from downtown New Hope. We enjoyed the proximity to the canal walking trail. The house was extremely well appointed with everything we needed. It was a very roomy and relaxing house. Lire was always available for any questions both before and during our stay and responded quickly. Highly recommend this 5-Star Airbnb!

Come relax and enjoy 450 feet of lakefront living!
I so enjoyed the quiet beauty of this hidden gem in the woods. From the moment I booked, Jen was a fabulous hostess, giving thought and care to ensure a positive experience. The home is beautiful, and I was happily surprised by the gorgeous holiday decor and cheer. Everything was just as described, and I couldn't have felt more at home. Having grown up nearby, I have no doubt this would be an oasis in the summer months, though even with ice on the lake, it offered peace and beauty. The beds were ridiculously comfortable, and the warmth of my host permeated the entire home. I recommend it to anyone seeking nature, beauty, and comfort.

Water View Historic B & B - Gift Card Included
This charming two bedroom was the perfect location to work remotely for a week while a family member attended a workshop at Salem CC Glass Center. I spent the week working long days - but I got to do it sitting on the screened in porch with the sound of birds singing and a gorgeous view of garden and river. For breaks I walked along the river in Battery Park (a block away) or around old New Castle - both delightful. The house itself is a tastefully renovated historic property & has comfortable beds, a large kitchen stocked with all the cooking necessities, and a homey living room. The house smelled clean and fresh, without smelling like cleaning products or heavily scented air freshener.

Sweetwater House on the Mullica River
What an a beautiful, peaceful, lovely home May has shared. There were 6 of us on this trip and everyone was very happy with the accommodations. My favorite thing to do was sit on the porch each morning to enjoy the view. The beds were comfortable and the living area was welcoming. We had a small problem but May was very responsive and fixed the issue quickly. We would love to return again

The Cottage at Pennbrook Farm
If I had to describe Amy‘s place in one word, it would be perfect. The cottage is quaint and very private. We enjoyed waking up and drinking coffee on the deck while watching the geese, chickens, and sheep. We even saw some baby sheep. Absolutely magical! We had everything we needed in the kitchen and the bed was comfy. If we come back to the area, we will definitely stay there again.

Creekside Cottage with Pool on the Perkiomen Trail
Very clean inside of home, the pool was beautiful. I wish there was newer grill to use, but it served its purpose. The amount of goose poop in the grass, and overall area was a lot. Not that it’s the host responsibility. A screw to a door hinge pulled out of the bathroom door and made it difficult to close (a very old door,) and the pool gate is very hard to close as the pin to the gate did the same thing. Overall the house was VERY nice and you can’t beat the location for a nice pvt night. 5star in my book! Host was excellent even provided fire wood!

River View Retreat: Lambertville (Unit 1)
Outstanding! Amazing location and so well taken care of. Beautiful and exceptionally clean. Amenities galore and picturesque setting on the banks for the Delaware. Zachary is a great host and responsive! Would stay again in the heartbeat.
