The Perfect Home Away From Home. Enjoy a Great Couples Getaway.


This historic twin farmhouse was built in 1889 and is located in the historic Yorkshire neighborhood of Burlington, New Jersey. Burlington was a well-established river crossing before English Quakers landed here in 1677. Aren't Schuyler, an early Dutch settler, operated a tavern and rope ferry to convey wagons and passengers between Burlington and Bristol, Pennsylvania. The English colonial government chartered an official ferry between the two towns in 1713.

This beautifully updated home features a great front porch perfect place to relax.
Amenities include, coffee, tea and off-street parking.

The home has exceptional charm & remarkable warmth which comfortably accommodates 2 people in a great Queen size bed. A queen-size air mattress is available to set up which can accommodate up to 2 additional guests in loft area for an additional fee.

The rent includes a beautiful private bedroom with a private bathroom. House amenities are available in the commun area to be shared.

A diverse neighborhood, we are walking distance of downtown Burlington, all the quaint shops & restaurants or take a walk to the Burlington River Front Promenade overlooking the Delaware River.

Its only two blocks from the River Line Light Rail, where you can also take an economical and convenient trip to Philadelphia, New York City, Trenton or Camden County. Drivers can take a trip to Philadelphia only 18 miles away, birth place of our nation and home to the Liberty Bell, the Declaration of Independence, and the famous Philly cheese steaks.


We live on the premises, so we would be happy to provide our guests with local tips on restaurants, country markets and cafes, as well as recommendations for shopping and sightseeing. Otherwise, you will not be disturbed.

Clean, tidy, but not a self-contained living area
The place was clean with pleasant decor and consisted of a living room, bathroom and bedroom (no kitchen facilities). It is on the top floor of one side of a sprawling duplex that is divided into apartments. Only the bedroom had aircon - a window unit that wasn’t powerful enough to cool the bedroom, let alone the living room. The heat was oppressive and we didn’t see any fans. The front door to the property had a lock, but the apartment did not have a lockable door. Usually I’m happy to secure an unlockable door by shoving a dining chair underneath the door knob but in this instance the main entrance to the apartment had a sliding door on the outside wall so there was no way to secure it. Parking was confusing, and communication with the host did not go smoothly until we met face to face. We chose to stay elsewhere and the host refunded the entire amount almost immediately, for which I am grateful.

Cozy home
The property is well-maintained, cozy and on the whole I really enjoyed it. Some amenities were missing, particularly in the bathroom - no hand towel, lack of toiletries, no place to put bathing necessities, no hairdryer. These things are easily fixed. A bigger concern is inability to lock individual rooms. I also recommend proving bottled water in the rooms and having coffee available in the morning.

Beautiful, historic, lovely hosts
Claudia and Ren are wonderful hosts. Waking into this absolutely beautiful home was a nice surprise. Located in a row of historic homes on a quaint side street, within walking distance to the Delaware river in Burlington, NJ. Claudia was very available before my stay, and greeted me into their gorgeous restored home when I arrived. My room was located on second floor, where there was a seating area, high ceilings, leather couches and big TV, an old fabulous bathroom , and a very cozy peaceful bedroom. In the morning I was prepared to walk downstairs to get coffee, but was so happy that Claudia had brought me some fresh pressed coffee, on an old grate with a candle keeping my morning coffee hot, alongside heavy cream and raw Sugar. Highly recommended! I hope to be back soon! Thank you ✨

Burlington visit
Very gracious hosts - very open, friendly, inviting and welcome atmosphere. I would have preferred to have a "kitchen nook" in the upstairs area we stayed rather than having to go downstairs to use the house coffee maker and fridge. A coffee maker, fridge and microwave upstairs would have simply been more convenient. It's a beautiful home and great area - near the river and quaint downtown. Near Philadelphia, Hershey Factory and Amish country. Lovely stay!

Perfect Place for a Weekend Stay
I traveled to visit Philly, but wanted an out-of-the-way spot. This is located across the bridge in NJ in a friendly neighborhood. There are plenty of restaurant choices within walking distance and I enjoyed the coffee shop a block away. Claudia and Ran are wonderful hosts with a beautiful home. I plan to stay here again next time I’m in the area.

Very nice couple.
We didn't realize when we reserved this property the owners lived onsite and the third bedroom shown also gets rented and you have to share a bathroom with the other renters. It would have been nice to have a microwave and fridge to use and also a place to hang clothes. Otherwise the place was very clean and the couple was very friendly and nice. It was near some restaurants and in a quiet neighborhood.

Nice and friendly neighbors; nice hostess; quiet and relaxing space
Shown as photos; clean and minimalism; relaxing space; will rent it again. Only one thing was the miscommunication because the hostess did not get my messages from Vrbo so make sure you get their phone number in hands as soon as booked the room.

Great central location between Philly & NYC. Walk-able to downtown Burlington!
This was the perfect place to stay for my husband & myself traveling from Michigan to Philly for a last minute medical appointment. Ran accommodated our last minute arrival- the amenities were fresh, clean & with a comfy bed. Self entry made coming & going convenient. We took the River Line train north to Trenton & continued on to NYC for a day- easy day trip to coordinate with location. Would stay again!
