Casa de Sweetwater- 3 bedroom- Waterfront
The house was just what we needed when we were in the area for a wedding. I really appreciated the easy communication with our hosts.

Downtown New Hope Garden Apt on the Aquetong Creek
My husband and I (and our little dog Kiwi) truly enjoyed our stay at Elliot’s garden apartment. The location is fantastic - just a quick walk to all the shops and restaurants yet the street is in a quiet peaceful neighborhood. We loved the deck views of the creek and it was great having the backyard and garden patio for the dog. Elliot was a great host -he gave us suggestions for restaurants and we were able to meet he and his adorable dog Foxxy when we arrived. The home is just as it appears in the listing and was very clean and comfortable. The steps to the garden and down to the yard were not a problem for us (or our dog) and the parking spot is directly across from the door on the street level which is helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would definitely book Elliot’s place again!

Fresh One Bedroom Apartment in University City
A great apartment to stay in while visiting Philadelphia. Close to Drexel, UPenn, and 30th Street Station, it is perfectly tucked away in a super convenient location, with easy access and a perfect (small) size for 2 people. Clean and comfortable apartment, easy to check-in (even early), and a wonderfully responsive host. Highly recommend for 1-2 travelers looking for a quick and easy place to crash while visiting Philadelphia. Thank you Lucy, will look to stay again next time in Philadelphia for a few days.

Luxury Old City 2Bd/2Bth With 2 Car Parking + Gym
We stayed over Spring Break with my 10 YO daughter and husband. Great location, walking distance to Elfreth’s Alley, Betsy Ross house and lots of restaurants nearby. High end kitchen appliances and spacious living and bedroom spaces. I don’t think we could have selected a better location.

New Hope's Weekender!
I can’t say enough about this place and air B&B is about all I use anymore. It’s cozy. A balcony on river. Can walk to dock with fire pit. Two bay Doors that open on either side gives nice cool breeze. Private but not too remote from everything. Beautiful maintained. The hosts are nicest people. I’ve been here 3 times and will use it every time I come to New Hope. Highly recommend

Waterfront Getaway 3
What a wonderful stay at Jeff's place! The whole place was stylish, cozy, and I immediately felt right at home. The kitchen was massively stocked with extra appliances and a wealth of spices and sauces to get you started. I basically lived in the bay window overlooking a perfect view of the river, and Jeff was incredibly responsive with great recommendations and helpful tips. Super lovely place, I'll miss my cozy coffee mornings watching the boats go by!

New Resto 2BR Riverside Apt Sleeps 5!
Really nice place to stay and quiet!

Cobblestone in Historic New Castle
This rental was perfect for our weekend stay in New Castle! The location is ideal - walkable to everywhere we needed to go, and close to shopping, restaurants, and the waterfront. It was easy to find and easy to get in. John was a very responsive host and replied immediately if we had questions. We were very comfortable and really enjoyed exploring this beautiful historic town.

The Canal house (On the Delaware towpath)
It is a very wonderful, peaceful location. The house was very private and walking distance to everything. Safe and friendly neighborhood with lots to see. The home was perfect for a friend's weekend get away . The yard is very private and the front porch is on the walking path with a swinging bench for two to enjoy your coffee as the ducks walk by. Pictures are exact and house is very clean. Staircase is tricky but worth it for the location .

Serene Retreat on the Canal
What a peaceful, relaxing home! It was easily large enough for the 7 of us, and we could easily visit Lambertville, Stockton, and New Hope. The house was clean and well furnished, and we loved eating meals outside on the deck looking out at the canal.

Come relax and enjoy 450 feet of lakefront living!
I so enjoyed the quiet beauty of this hidden gem in the woods. From the moment I booked, Jen was a fabulous hostess, giving thought and care to ensure a positive experience. The home is beautiful, and I was happily surprised by the gorgeous holiday decor and cheer. Everything was just as described, and I couldn't have felt more at home. Having grown up nearby, I have no doubt this would be an oasis in the summer months, though even with ice on the lake, it offered peace and beauty. The beds were ridiculously comfortable, and the warmth of my host permeated the entire home. I recommend it to anyone seeking nature, beauty, and comfort.

Estate 5BR 3.5Bath, Game Room, 5min Princeton dtwn
This is a lovely sized property nestled in a quiet neighbourhood of Princeton. The property itself has everything you need and would make a great staycation for large families and friends. Anvita and Shreya were extremely polite and friendly and very helpful in addressing our queries. Both made clear effort in ensuring our stay was pleasent and comfortable. I would recommend staying here as it's local to BAPS Akshardham, Robbinsville (30 mins easy drive) and Princeton University (10 mins).

Lambertville Garden Home. Hot Tub and Parking
We had the most wonderful long weekend at this Airbnb. The hot tub was perfect with a nice view of the stars. You can't tell from the photos, but there is a peaceful little stream that runs next to the property, which was a bonus. Worth noting that there is a steep hill down to the stream and no fence, so anyone visiting with young mobile children, keep an eye on them. Downtown Lambertville and New Hope are both walkable from the property, which was amazing! The street gets some fast traffic, so just be careful walking about 100 yards down the street before you hit the nearest sidewalk. We had a stroller, and it was no problem during the day, but we were extra careful to be sure the cars approaching could see us. The house was so adorable and well decorated! The kitchen is spacious and well stocked. The bed in the largest bedroom was comfy, and the AC kept us cool on a humid weekend. I would definitely stay here again and give this place a great rating!

Lakefront House w/ Amazing view (Family Friendly!)
What an amazing place to stay! Qing has everything you need ! The place is full of character, spacious and a lot of extra things to do! We really enjoyed the privacy you feel out back! The lake is beautiful! Kids enjoyed their stay as well! Probably my favorite Airbnb so far!

Sweetwater House on the Mullica River
Amazing lake views. The fish were biting. A beautiful peaceful getaway. We thoroughly enjoyed our time. Quite a memorable and special place. Book it- you won’t regret it. Sweetwater Marina also a nice spot to each. Bikes were fun to ride around and the porch deck made for a lovely spot for coffee and drinks. Plenty of parking and secluded at the end of road. Will rebooked already. 🎣 🏖️ 🛶

3 Bedroom RIVER House - River Views, Deck & Porch
Let me start by saying I wish I could’ve been here during warmer weather. Even in the winter this house is great! Between the view of the river, the bbq out back, or simply getting warm around the fire pit. Theres so many great things about this place. Highly recommended to anyone and everyone.
