Holiday rentals with a fire pit in University City, Philadelphia

This house is spacious, quirky and clean! It is great for a large group and a unique find for a city, actually with all the outdoor space. The house is old and creeky but full of character. We appreciate Lauren and her family opening up their family home.

This home is beautifully appointed. It was as if we were staying in a model home. Appliances were new, any equipment needed for cooking was present, even a tea pot! No concerns with heating, controlled on each floor and was optimal. Beds were comfortable. 4 bathrooms were awesome! There was nothing that we needed. Highly recommend staying with Jannatul!

It was a great place - as described and in pictures. Matt was very easy to get in touch with, helped answer all my questions and understanding of my family’s allergies.

The house was very meticulous cared for. Everything was neat and clean. The finished basement with computer desk and laundry area was thoughtful although we didn’t utilize that. My husband and children and I visited for family to watch the Super Bowl in the city that we are from. We got to do exactly that and show our children how Philadelphia looks in celebration of the win. The only thing we missed was television in the bedrooms since our children are younger. There is only one TV in the living room. We had tablets and all otherwise and with the WiFi it was an amazing experience! We would definitely stay here again. I felt very comfortable with our family because of the cleanliness! 100% recommend and thank you so much for your hospitality :-)

Don't hesitate to stay here if it is available. Society Hill is a lovely neighbourhood to stay in, and still only a 10min walk from Independence Hal areal. It is a lovely home that is decorated nicely, just like pictures. Very clean, very comfortable. We appreciated the flexibility of early check in.

**Airbnb Review: Perfect Stay for Our Track Team! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐** We recently had the pleasure of renting this stunning home for our track team and it was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a warm welcome and a beautifully maintained property that exceeded our expectations. The spacious bedrooms were perfect for our team, providing everyone with their own comfortable space. We highly recommend this listing

My family and I had a lovely time at Amna's home. The home was clean, comfortable, and perfect for our needs. It is also in an area that is walking distance to a lot of places in the city. I highly recommend this home as a place to stay.

Employee's enjoyed their stay while working in the area. Thanks for putting up your home.

We stayed at Aaron’s on short notice due to a problem in our house nearby. Aaron was very flexible and accommodating even on such short notice. The surroundings were quite peaceful - enjoyed seeing the wildlife in the morning. Everything we needed was there and the cottage and location helped settle us while we continued to deal with water damage issues in our own home. Great place to just relax and chill.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Philly penthouse. Liam’s place was clean, homey, and inviting. All of the appliances and house amenities matched their description. While it was raining during our stay, Liam had covered areas on the roof which made our stay extra special. Will certainly rebook again! And look forward to our stay there soon.

Had a great time at Swida’s home, beds super comfy, entire home is clean and well decorated. Plenty of space for 7 of us, thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Swida answers messages in a few minutes, made everything easy and straightforward. Thank-you!!

Marja’s place is excellent, I wish I could have stayed longer. The place itself was super cute and exactly like the pictures/description. There are other residents in the building, but the apartment is on a floor by itself which makes it feel more private. Marja was really easy to communicate with and was flexible with both check- in and check-out which really helped make my trip stress free. The location was close to the Wissahickon Park which was exactly what I was looking for and I really enjoyed going to the Germantown Weavers Way Co-Op for food.

Best recommendation we can give is that on our next visit to Philadelphia , we want to stay at Thomas' location.

This is a beautiful apartment perfectly placed for exploring the historical sites in Philadelphia. My kids enjoyed the foosball table and we enjoyed the rooftop lounge space. I particularly appreciated the nightlights in the staircase since my kids had to go down the stairs to use the restroom in the middle of the night. We had an issue upon our arrival with a smoke detector chirping loudly due to needing a battery. Unfortunately it was too high (very lovely high ceilings) for us to reach. But they were able to come out and fix it before bedtime, which I really appreciated!

Great, quiet place to stay!

This place felt like a home away from home! It was very cozy, spacious and peaceful. Also Justin and Amy were super helpful and responsive when I had questions. This was my first time in Philadelphia and despite the weather, I truly enjoyed my stay!!

We rented William’s home for about a week, as we were packing our home and needed a comfortable place to stay with our toddler prior to our move. William’s home was cozy, peaceful, and child-friendly. My toddler loved being on the lake and waking up to his “quack quacks”, typically referred to as ducks. William’s home was a great temporary home for my family, and we plan to book again when visiting family in the area.

Wish I could’ve met the beautiful faces behind this beautiful property! I was however late for my check in. My plans went so south but my host & my stay was amazing & well needed. If you come across any property listed by them GO! I promise you won’t regret it! I actually can’t wait to go back. Peaceful & breathtaking!!!!

Truly a fantastic getaway! The property was perfect, surrounded by nature and a nice drive to downtown Pottstown, numerous restaurants, and historic attractions. I'd highly recommend visiting the Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site and walking around nearby St. Peter's Village. The home is just incredible! The natural light, beautiful woodwork, kitchen, amenities, everything - it's perfect for a vacation. It's fun having the arcade across the driveway. There are plenty of games downstairs, a fireplace, two types of fire pits, and the main room is nice for relaxing. The hosts are excellent - I mostly communicated with Ari throughout my stay. From the start of the booking process to the end of the trip, Ari was very responsive, incredibly welcoming and cordial, and helpful. A host can really affect the quality of the stay, and I couldn't have been happier with the communication. Overall, I'd highly recommend, and personally I hope to be back. This listing is a gem.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your beautiful lake-front property—it was truly everything we had hoped for and more. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the breathtaking views of the lake, the calming sounds of nature, and the sense of complete privacy that surrounded us. The peaceful, secluded setting offered the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life, allowing us to fully unwind and reconnect. Each day brought moments of quiet reflection, laughter, and simple joy—whether it was sipping coffee on the deck at sunrise, watching the water ripple in the afternoon light, or enjoying quiet evenings under the stars. The home itself was warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. It’s clear that a great deal of care has gone into creating such a special retreat. Everything about our time there exceeded expectations. We are looking forward to our next visit and get-away.

Amazing. The home was as described. Very clean and spacious. We enjoyed our stay with our pet and highly recommend.

Ricki was super accommodating, she has the most beautiful grounds and you can tell how much effort she put into her cabin to make it welcoming and so rustic that you feel like you’re in another land that you never want to leave!

This was my first time renting an airbnb and boy did our gracious host Noemi set the bar high! If you are the type that can appreciate an 1840’s cottage in a town rich with American history, stop right here and BOOK this location. You will not be disappointed. The house is full of charm, the town (straight 10 minute walk to the heart of new hope) is majestic and did I say our host was amazing? She was and we cannot wait to go back!

The cabin was great and the surrounding views were fantastic. Definitely would stay again if I was in the area.
