Beds, showers, and accommodations are a...See More

My family stayed there during our daughter’s Drexel graduation. Barbara took great care of us. Breakfast was amazing and our daughter was able to join us. Accommodations were made for one of us who is vegan. Having the covered porch to sit on as a family is a huge plus! Thank you!
