This 1916 Victorian home is completely renovated, beautifully
decorated with period antiques, and located in the heart of a busy
downtown area. Step back into time as you step into the foyer of one
of Philadelphia’s most elegant older homes. The golden glow of the
sunroom beckons you to bring your coffee or tea and come sit and watch
the world go by.

Entering the formal parlor your attention is immediately drawn to the
wonderfully carved mantle and fireplace surround. Imagine a more
genteel time 100 years ago as you relax by the fire on the detailed
Victorian furniture.

The formal dining room says “dinner is served.” And served it is,
surrounded by antique buffets and an elegant eight foot long mirror
reflecting the light of an original chandelier hung by the Cole family.

As night falls and the eyes grow heavy with sleep, climb into any one
of the pillow topped beds upstairs. Whether it is the 8’ tall tester
bed, the 200 year old master, or one of the twin beds, a wonderful
night’s sleep is assured.

Morning brings the aromas of homemade biscuits, rolls, or muffins,
bacon frying and freshly brewed coffee. Enjoy your full Southern
breakfast with homemade jams and jellies. You will leave the table happy.

Our goal and desire at The Cole House is to “make you feel at home” in
our home. The décor of the home, the amenities offered, and your
cordial hosts are all dedicated to insuring your stay to be pleasant
and memorable. We want the nicest thought you have about leaving is to
be when you can schedule your next visit.
