    This property was very close to where I grew up so it was a little like going home. Conveniently located close to Villanova and the Main Line, it's a break from the ordinary. The host was welcoming, a warm and very friendly person. He was very...

    The property was very rustic and eclectic. I loved that it was secluded and private. The property was built in 1911 in the foothills of Villanova just to give you and idea structurally. Every nook and cranny of the property had a story behind it....

The Little Castle is a three-story, all-stone gate house designed by and built for architect Theophilus Chandler and completed in 1911. As such it is a one of a kind residence with Old World style. The Little Castle is furnished and decorated with fantasy, whimsy, artistry, and functional elegance in mind.
We like gardening on the grounds. Traveling. DIY projects. Attending concerts. Reading.
The neighborhood is quiet and spacious. Many trees and wooded areas though just a few miles from shops, stores, and colleges. Five minutes to train station. About 25 minutes to the airport depending on traffic. Philadelphia is 10 or so miles south east. Bryn Mawr, Villanova, Cabrini, Eastern, Rosemont, and Haverford are nearby as well as Valley Forge Military Academy and Valley Forge National Park. Many good restaurants and shoos in Wayne, Radnor, Ardmore, and Bryn Mawr. The King of Prussia Malls are about 12 minutes away. Chanticleer Gardens are less than that.
