I loved staying here. It was beautiful and the owners were lovely. Breakfast was very nice.
United States of AmericaA 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.
United States of AmericaWow. 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!
United States of AmericaThe 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!

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.
