As a retired architect, I love staying in clean, well designed and comfortable homes. This home was perfect! My only note is for older folks with bad knees, as with most older homes, the stairs might be a bit challenging. We’re averaging 70 and quite healthy, the stairs were fine for us. Thank you Ivanca!

The home was so charming, very walkable to shops, restaurants.

Walked up to shops, the people were very friendly. We were fortunate to be there for the 2nd Thursday of the month when all the restaurants had tables out on the Main Street. Music, good food and fun. We went to Longwood Gardens, beautiful of course.

2nd stay- not the last!

2nd time staying here. I would not stay anywhere else in Kennett Square. The house is so cute, clean and within walking distance of downtown. We were 4 adults attending a U Delaware graduation and it was an easy 25 minute beautiful drive to DE. IVANA is a stellar host. So responsive. We took a red eye fom AZ and arrived at PHL at 6 am. Ivana went out of her way to allow us to check in before noon! That never happens! We will be back!

Love the place and would stay again! Surprisingly cute and so much to see in the decor of the home. Communication was quick, precise and detailed! 3 bedroom and 1 bath was perfect for our group of 5. There was a small porch for outdoor seating. Thank you for the stay.
