Cooper PA experience

We were very pleased with the appearance of the property. The property was decorated very well and contained many amenities to make the visit more comfortable. We especially appreciated the quality of the bedding. We did experience a couple of minor glitches, but these were very quickly and effectively resolved by the owner.

House was very nice. Close to Longwood and busy noisy road. I had trouble getting information because I did not download VRBO APP, also had trouble with door lock, instructions for door lock did not match the lock on the door. Owner was available and helpful. Beds are very comfortable. Nice place

Beautiful house, cute neighborhood

The interior furnishings and comfort are amazing. Everything was impeccable, one of the nicest home stays I’ve had. I appreciated all the thoughtful details such as the well equipped kitchen, lovely decor, and the outdoor seating. The comments about street noise are accurate. It did quiet down at night, no worse than a city street. Also taking a walk back into the historic neighborhood was very cool. It’s a nice base to enjoy Kennett Square and the surrounding area!

Beautiful home!

This by far was one of the most lovely homes we have stayed in! The owner did an excellent job designing and decorating each and every room. The kitchen was a joy to cook in with beautiful appliances, cutlery and dishes. The bedrooms were beautifully done with comfy, luxurious mattresses, bedding and pillows. The backyard was a great bonus, thoughtfully planned out for people's enjoyment with plenty of comfy chairs, table and grill. In my opinion, the owner went above and beyond with a great many luxurious touches throughout this home, making our family feel very pampered and comfortable, which we appreciated so much! I would highly recommend!

I appreciate that the VRBO hostess provided a 13x9 dish for baking and a roaster pan upon request! The hostess was also gracious in provding a Christmas tree and decorations upon request. The VRBO was nicely appointed but located in a very noisy neighborhood right next to the main drive through town/extremely noisy, house is very drafty/chilly and one restroom on 2nd floor was a problem for members of our party that struggle with stairs. I don't feel like I had all this information at the time of payment/contract.

This place is so beautiful and suited my needs perfectly. I came down to visit my children who live nearby and having a home with a nice backyard was perfect for celebrating a birthday with them. I did reach out to the host with a question prior to my arrival and never received an answer; the WiFi password given is written with an upper case letter which should be a lower case letter (took a few minutes to figure that out). Overall, great stay! I’d stay here again. It is on a very busy road and tends to be loud - not for those who need quiet for sleeping.

Well Appointed lovely home - however it is on the corner of a major road with a traffic light. The constant traffic and braking of heavy trucks made it difficult for sleeping.

We were not able to stay due to the condition of the property when we arrived. The house had not been cleaned after the prior renter. There were bags of trash in the kitchen, food on the counter and in the fridge, beds were stripped or tussled with used sheets, and towels were strewn about the bathroom. We arrived after 10:00 pm from out of town as we had a function to attend. We notified the owner immediately but did not hear back until the next morning. She apologized saying she had been sick and had forgotten she had another renter to get the house prepared for. Later in the morning, she communicated that she’d have the house cleaned by 2:00. As we had already had to find other accommodations, we asked for a refund as we would not be staying. It has been several days, and the owner has not responded nor has refunded anything.
