Welcome to your retreat in the heart of Ellicottville. We invite you to enjoy this magical town where music, bars, and restaurants are woven into the fabric of the street scenes within walking distance of our house.   The location is perfect for day trips to Niagara Falls, Toronto, Buffalo, Chautauqua, and the Finger Lakes.   Or just stay put and hike, bike, zipline, ski, tube, swim in the pool,  or golf.  You can walk into town from the house.  It's a great stopover if you are visiting New York City and want to see the beauty of the state.

This three-bedroom, two-bath house has a back deck with a newly upgraded hot tub and Weber BBQ.  We have a fully stocked kitchen including a microwave, Keurig coffee maker, and toaster oven.  A flat-screen TV with ROKU gives you access to our Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon accounts.  



Magical village in New York with so many day trips

2 floors of Historic building in the very nice touristy borough of Doylestown.  Walk to everything including shops restaurants, night life, even groceries. Very safe! Friendly neighbors r close by but the house and yard and porch r private. Trains r close by and it’s not more than 2-3 hrs to NYC, Broadway, beach in NJ, Washington DC, Pocono mountains and lakes, and much more. Easy to drive to all too but not necessary. An hr into Philadelphia. Very full range of seasons from hot summers to beautiful snowy winters. So much more- I’ll have to update this further. Please research Doylestown Boro, PA for more info. We are on the Margaret Mead block. Very nice Work out facility is a block away- it has skate board park, pools and even some small indoor water park activities good for all ages even toddlers. Lane pool also. One of the best hospitals in the country is very close(walking). My Aunt (by my same name!) was ceo of this hospital yrs ago and president of the via which runs Doylestown. Miles of bike and walking trails lead right from our home.

Interested in exploring the sights and sounds of America’s East Coast? 
Our beautiful Mediterranean home located in a safe, Philadelphia suburban neighborhood, will be the perfect home base for you. Located just a few blocks from the Willow Grove train station, this charming house will have you well rested in between exciting day trips where you explore New York City, Washington D.C., Baltimore’s famous inner harbor, and, of course, historic Philadelphia. 

Speaking of history, our unique home once served as a rectory when first constructed in 1923 by Philadelphia custom builder, August Kraske. It has 3 bedrooms and one bath with a newly renovated shower, double sink vanity, and Terra cotta tile floor. Situated on a sloping lot with several inviting outdoor gathering spaces, the front entryway includes a spacious wrap-around porch with arches and room to relax, while the back of the house includes a wooden deck perched up high, making you think you’re sitting in your very own tree house. Below is a brick patio and fire pit, perfect for relaxing. 

Inside this bright and well-lit home you'll find an updated galley-style eat-in kitchen with granite counter tops, deep sink, plenty of cabinets, recessed lighting, new stainless refrigerator and gas stove. The first floor has a vent-free gas fireplace in the living room and a bay window in the spacious dining room. 

Upstairs is a large master bedroom, a medium size second room furnished as a guest bedroom, and, a third bedroom made up of two adjacent smaller rooms, currently furnished as a child’s bedroom and play space. Throughout the home you'll find hardwood oak floors and ornate wrought iron railings. The grounds are tree filled and there's plenty of space to relax surrounded by green shrubbery. The home is within walking distance to local restaurants and tons of shopping in The Willow Grove Mall all while only being 12 miles to Center City Philadelphia. 

Even if considering swapping homes just to explore Philadelphia, your stay will be well worth it. Philadelphia, the nation’s first capitol, is rated the #3 Historic City to visit in all of the US (by US News and World Report). It is home to World famous museums, history, food, and theaters. Our personal favorite feature of Philadelphia, unknown to many, is that it has the most inner city murals of any in the world—over 3,600 to be exact! Local experts on bus and walking tours will educate you on as many as you have time for ;-). And if you need a break from concrete, Fairmount Park is the largest landscaped urban park in America, with plenty of hiking, biking, and walking trails. 

As a child, Faith grew up visiting New York City literally every other weekend, taking frequent school trips to both Baltimore and Washington D.C. as well as biking along Philadelphia’s historic river walks. And we haven’t even touched upon Philadelphia’s well known foods, including the Philly Cheesesteak! There’s literally endless days of fun all within your reach. ;-) 


Cozy home outside Philadelphia close to three metropolitan landmarks

House is on a 32 acre farm with a beautiful backyard that looks over fields and forest.  Location is an hour’s drive from New York City and ten minutes from NJ Transit train station to New York City.  Town of Chester has charming shops and excellent restaurants.

Colonial house on 32 acre farm

My friend came over for a cup of tea, and I was telling her about LoveHomeSwap.  I said, "We're a bit far from all the major cities, so I think people will pass over our house because they think it's not centrally located enough.  As we were sitting out on the deck she said, "If people could experience this, everyone would want to swap with you...this is heaven!"  Our 4 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath home is on a very private, park-like acre, backing up to 17 acres of woods.  Walk down the tree lined street to feed the alpacas, goats and horses, or sit out back on the 300 square ft. deck to watch the wild life, or your children-as they swing from the zip line, shoot hoops in the basketball net, or jump on the trampoline.  We are 10 minutes drive from major shopping, 5 minutes from the PA turnpike, 15 minutes from the train station and yet in the middle of winding narrow country roads and rolling hills of farm land.  Chester Springs is truly unique in that it is so close to so much and yet feels like you are out in the country.  We have a HUGE basement playroom, a warm peaceful sun room and a private office.  In addition to the formal living and dining rooms, are a custom designed and handcrafted kitchen and inviting family room with large stone fire place and barn beam rafters.  We have two friendly cats and an adorable mini goldendoodle. We would ask that you feed the cats once a day.  The dog can come with us or can be sent to a dog sitter. We are located very close to the PA Turnpike to get to Valley Forge National Park, King of Prussia Mall (one of the largest shopping malls in the United States), Historic Center City Philadelphia, Lancaster (Amish country).  There are so many beautiful hikes and bike trails around here, too.  And we are just a 2 hour train ride away from New York City, Washington, DC or Baltimore.  ABSOLUTELY NO SMOKING IN THE HOME OR ON THE PROPERTY.  Because we often hire a house sitter when we are gone, as much advanced planning as possible would be ideal.

Lovely Chester County Home near Historic Philadelphia

Cozy Rowhome in the heart of South Philly

Built by a Revolutionary War veteran in 1820 in the traditional Georgian colonial style, this home was totally renovated in 2000 including a geothermal heat pump. The walk-in kitchen fireplace and 5 other fireplaces remain, and 3 have LP gas fire logs. The interior layout and wood moldings date to 1820. The house faces solar south for strong winter sun. Two-foot thick walls give wide window sills. Other buildings include a 2-story log garage circa 1840, a rebuilt spring house with never-failing spring water, smokehouse, outdoor privy and large bank barn. A neighbor has cows in my barn, with ducks in the meadow. A quiet location, 2 miles to small town. Nearby golf course and swimming pool. Twenty minute drive to winter ski resort. I live alone and can host international men or couples in addition to home exchange.
