Perfect!

The Shurs Lane Cottage is pretty much perfect - we'd like to live there! The location is great, and having dedicated parking is more important than you may think in Manayunk! The cottage is spacious, comfortable, well-equipped, and full of thoughtful touches. Our only regret is not finding this gem sooner! If it's available, book it.

Our home away from home

This was our third stay at Shurs Lane. Our daughter lives in Manayunk and we always try to stay here when we visit. It is very clean, comfortable and convenient, especially with a private parking space! We love this place!

Lovely Cottage

This is such an adorable cottage about a 15 minute drive from Philadelphia Center City. Train station close by (15 min walk, 3 min drive) with free parking. Very comfy cottage with everything you need. Down blankets were so cozy. The bed and couch were also soo comfortable! Lots of coffee, tea, seasoning, all utensils needed for a family including children. Beautiful updated large bathroom. Lovely private shaded stone patio out back with seating areas and a grill. Free parking next to cottage. I can’t say enough good about this place!

Amazing stay!

What a beautiful property! This modern space was perfect for my partner and I to visit the Manayunk neighborhood while working remotely. They had all the essential kitchen utensils, and we were able to easily charge our Tesla in the off-street parking! Would definitely stay again.
