Breakfast was excellent and the service was both excellent and pleasant. Our room was beautiful and very clean and comfortable.

Rhett United States of America

Jill and Eric were phenomenal! My boyfriend and I were treated very well, from the time we arrived until the time we left. Their hospitality is very refreshing! The breakfast was fantastic also. I would highly recommend this establishment to everyone!

Nellie United States of America

The hosts were super nice and friendly. The location was close to points of interest. The breakfast was very good. The food was tasty and nicely presented. Table linens always immaculate. The room was very clean and there was room service daily.

Hedviga United States of America

The young owners are ambitious, hard working, and gracious. They pay attention to details ( like a hand mirror near the blow dryer so you can see the back of your hair or the black wash cloth to use when washing off make up!). The homemade breakfast was delicious ( banana foster pancakes). I enjoyed eating outside where the paper awaited me at my table. Clean, updated. Charming and lovely!

Heidi United States of America

We stayed at this delightful bed and breakfast last week. We can’t say enough about how nice our stay was. Jill and Eric are exceptional hosts, the location is perfect for visiting the museums. The rooms are spotless and the breakfast was yummy.

Andrew United States of America

Lesley United States of America

A lovely B&B! The exterior and interior are beautifully decorated and maintained by a delightful young couple. Cozy chairs everywhere and bright, well-designed bathrooms.Jill has done a great job integrating period furniture and family heirlooms. Beautiful dining room, porch and outdoor areas for meals. Eric is a wonderful chef and each of my 4 breakfasts was wholesome and gourmet! Easy walk to 3 major art museums and botanical garden. Some very good local restaurants within walking distance.

Cynthia United States of America

Wow. This was the best Bed-and-breakfast I have ever stayed in and I have stayed in Manny. My husband and I can’t wait to go back already. The owners are extremely sweet, the food was amazing and the bed was so comfortable. The owner even helped us decide where to eat and they made delicious cookies as a snack and the breakfast was out of this world. I miss it already!

Jacqueline United States of America

The Home is beautiful and inviting. Our host were delightful and made us feel at home. The food was amazing. The Porch was a wonderful surprise to enjoy in the city.

Cornerstone B&B
Cornerstone is a unique, warm, cozy family owned Boutique Bed and Breakfast in the heart of Philadelphia. A member of Select Registry and located within walking distance to nature trails, world class retail and restaurants, and dozens of museums and cultural institutions, this new take on a traditional Bed and Breakfast offers a perfect mix of old world elegance and new world luxury while exploring the best Philadelphia has to offer. Built in 1870 as a private residence before being converted to a bed and breakfast, we have retained much of the building's original appearance while modernizing our rooms and suites to meet our guest’s contemporary needs.
The Cornerstone Bed and Breakfast has been a family run operation since 2008. Eric & Jill Pfaff-Moody are the young new owners and are excited to bring modern comfort to this historic home!
The bustling heart of West Philadelphia and the academic epicenter of the entire region, University City is so named due to two of the largest and most influential institutions in town: the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University. But though these collegiate giants, sub-anchored by nationally renowned medical hubs, have hands in multiple arenas, the enclave also boasts a magnetic individuality fueled by youthful innovation and commitment to artistic and cultural exploration.
