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.
United States of AmericaThe breakfast was fabulous as well as the hospitality!!
United States of AmericaThe location is beautiful and has a luscious history. A beautiful wrap around porch and fire pit area. These details create a homely experience as soon as you walk up to the door.
United States of AmericaEverything was personalized during our stay, from the welcome in our room, specially made breakfast to the massage therapist they were able to secure on such short notice. We had never visited Philadelphia before but now we have a very good reason to return! Thank you!!
United States of AmericaThe hosts were very welcoming, friendly, and went the extra mile to make our stay special, from serving an incredible breakfast each morning, providing a candlelit dinner our first night there, and offering sangrias on the porch one afternoon. They offered many recommendations for fun local places and events to check out. We felt safe with their covid guidelines and enjoyed how quiet and restful the space was (we especially loved the a/c).
United States of AmericaWhat a beautiful historic building! Erick and Jill are fantastic hosts with warm hearts and a fantastic attention to detail. Breakfast was delicious, served on the front porch, and they have gone above and beyond for making the place safe and clean during COVID
United States of AmericaJill and Eric are a delightful young couple and could not have been more welcoming! The house and property are lovely, it is centrally located to everything, and very easy to get to. The care and attention they give to their place and their guests is too notch. Thank you guys for welcoming me to the area!
United States of AmericaThe breakfasts were amazing. Bed was comfy. Our accommodations were private and pleasant. Shower worked great and the bathroom was very clean.
United States of AmericaBreakfast was excellent. Waffles were the special feature and they were willing to accommodate my gluten free request and made eggs bacon and gf toast for me. There were plenty of other items available such as boiled eggs, home baked cinnamon rolls, granola. We picked this place because it was close to the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
United States of AmericaJill and Eric are great hosts. Very welcoming and very informative on the house and neighborhood history. Breakfast was fantastic! Deligcious entree, lots of options on the continental side as well. Coffee was terrific. The house is beautiful. The stained glass, antiques and architecture are a delight. You can walk to Museums easily. Delightful cookies, tea, coffee are available at any time. This is always a nice touch, as was the bottled water in the room. Lovely towels, everything you need for a comfortable stay is in place.

Hosted by Cornerstone B&B
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.
