The house, in his words

About the 2D style: the walls here are hand painted so that furniture, shelving, picture frames and moldings look drawn straight onto the surface, flat and storybook like. Kids spot it the second they walk in and it is the reason guests remember this house. Everything you actually sleep in, cook with and sit on is real and full size.

This home is designed for connection, relaxation and a touch of whimsy. The main living area invites you to curl up by the cozy gas fireplace or gather for movie night on the 65 inch Smart TV.

  • Gourmet ready kitchen fully stocked for real cooking and baking, featuring a Philips Series 3300 fully automatic espresso machine for barista style hot and iced drinks, plus a Keurig for quick single serve coffee
  • Blazing fast 500 Mbps WiFi and two dedicated workspaces so you can take calls, stream or game without worry
  • Modern comforts including onsite washer and dryer, central AC and heat and stylish bathrooms with luxury bidets
  • Massive private backyard perfect for lawn games, kids play, relaxing or grilling out
  • Evenings by the fire pit under the stars or snuggled up inside by the gas fireplace

***Distance times are calculated if traveling by car.

The best way to get around is by car.

I highly recommend bringing your own, renting or using ride-sharing services like Uber or Lyft.

Turo is worth a look too; it is car rental from private owners.

  • If you are flying in/out of the area, the best way would be at one of the below airports:
  • Lehigh Valley International Airport (32 min away)
  • Philadelphia International Airport (58 min away)

We are so glad to host you. This is a loved home, not a hotel, and we kindly ask that you treat it with the same care you would your own place. If anything comes up during your stay, send us a message and we will do our best to help as quickly as possible.

  • For your safety and peace of mind, the property includes:
  • Exterior security cameras at the front door and overlooking the driveway
  • A noise decibel monitoring device inside the home that alerts us only to sound levels, not conversations

These devices help us protect the home and respect our neighbors while still maintaining your privacy.

If this retreat fits your plans, tap the heart to save it so you can find it easily when you are ready to book.

The area

Pennsburg, PA. We show the area rather than the address, because the door code and the exact street come to you after you book.

The map is from OpenStreetMap and only loads when you ask for it. Open it in a new tab.

Coffee

Java and Friends on Main Street in East Greenville, five minutes up the road and two doors from the old Grand Theater, so the two make an easy evening together. If you want a proper sit down breakfast instead, the Valley Cafe on Quakertown Avenue does an omelette roughly the size of your forearm.

Dinner

Jamison Publick House, out on Geryville Pike. It's the place people around here name first when you ask, and it holds up to the billing. The seafood is better than a country pub has any business serving.

One thing to do

The Grand Theater on Main Street in East Greenville. A restored old movie house about two miles away that still runs films most nights. It costs almost nothing and it beats another evening of scrolling for something to watch.

Questions

Is it cheaper to book here than on Airbnb?

Yes, by roughly 10 percent on the same nights. A booking site adds its commission to the nightly rate and charges it on the cleaning fee too. On a three night weekend that is usually somewhere between $70 and $210 depending on the house. Checked 2026-08-31.

When do I get the address and the door code?

Straight after you book, from Hospitable. We show the area on this page rather than the street, because the house is somebody else’s home the rest of the time.

Can I bring a dog?

Yes. Add them to the guest count before you check the total, so the price you see is the price you pay.

What if I need to cancel?

The cancellation and change terms that apply to your particular stay are shown on the checkout page before you pay, and repeated in your confirmation. They are set per house and per dates, so I would rather you read the real ones than a general promise from me. Nothing is charged on this site. If your plans move, tell me early, because early is when I can usually do something useful.
