My family booked the place for a 50th anniversary celebration and we had a fantastic time. Everything about the Lippincott House was perfect. The rooms were extremely comfortable, the owners were exceptionally kind and thoughtful, and all the arrangements around the big event were easy and perfect. Our family stayed there for the whole weekend and we hosted a party... More

It's not fancy, but has a wonderful historic charm to it, and has some cute amentities - the old-fashioned, non-water-saver shower was great. Hosts are very nice, but not always around - also there's also only four rooms, so it can be a little quiet sometimes. Great location. Had a great stay in Philly. More

The breakfast here is fabulous. All fresh produce and some organic preserves too. The hosts are wonderful and we always enjoy staying here during our annual sojourn to Philly... Very close to Rittenhouse Square and a stones throw from some of the best restaurants in town. More

I travel for my job as a photographer and it can be hard to find a place that takes dogs and is nice. So this place was beyond my expectations. The beds were beyond comfy, the staff was uber nice and the location was perfect. Trendy rittenhouse square. A real find, so Much so I was tempted to not post... More

If you need the amenities of a hotel, this property would not fit your tastes. As an B&B inn it does not have fitness facilities, room service or turn down service. If it had a fitness pass to a nearby gym, I would have given it a 5 star. The hostess is extremely hospitable, the space is generous (large billiards... More

At the time my fiance and I was looking for a small reasonably priced option to get married in. We could not have gotten any place more perfect. The location is beautiful. So many places for beautiful pictures. Marybeth was so helpful, funny and attentive. She was able to recommend and help us take care of every detail to make... More

Marybeth and Jack are fun and lovely people. We so enjoyed staying in the amazing home. We felt like we were royalty staying in a "castle". The house had great Victorian detail with lovely woodwork and period lighting. There is a mural in the dining room is hand painted and tells the story of the original owners. The location could...

This house can not be beat in ANY category. Jack and Marybeth see to your every need. Breakfast is made to order and can not be out done. The whole house is amazing, we felt like royalty. We had two rooms and they both were the best. The beds were so comfortable and had an areas for sitting. There are... More

Jack converted this 1897 beautiful building into a breathtaking B&B - old architecture, intricate wood-carved designs, old painted walls, interesting history. The location is just over one block from Rittenhouse Square, a beautiful park for a walk, with restaurants alongside. We had a fantastic weekend visiting Philadelphia and loved the B&B and it's location. The breakfast was simple - whatever... More

My husband and I arrived tired from walking around Philly with our backpacks on all day after a 2 hours train trip from D.C. Needless to say, we were tired. We rang the doorbell at around 4:30 and were greeted by Jack and J.R. J.R. is a hidden treasure of Lippincott House. Best trained Jack Russell I've ever met and... More
