Shippen Way Inn, Philadelphia

We have visited at a number of inns in the area, but Shippen Way has to be one of the most charming. We stayed in the Stencil Room which had a working fireplace and shaker style four poster bed. From the low exposed beam ceiling to the tiny curved stairway that led to our cozy room, the Shippen Way gave us colonial style and romance at its best. The innkeepers are friendly and helpful. The garden, secluded by ivy covered brick walls is the perfect outdoor retreat for a morning cup of coffee or late afternoon glass of wine. We enjoyed our stay and plan on returning soon.
