Marybeth is a delightful person and a wonderful hostess. We have had two stays at the Lippincott House and we plan to stay there as often as possible. If you have an appreciation for history and outstanding archetectual elements you will not be disappointed. If you want modern conveniences, I would suggest you stay elsewhere.

Marybeth made our wedding there a dream. She helped plan everything from room setting to connecting us bsmith for the catering, to arranging the flowers herself to finding someone to make my bouquet. The BB itself is absolutely gorgeous!! The only downside is parking is not easy to find. We had less than 20ppl for our wedding but we felt like stars that night. Our dog was even permitted to stay and be in our ceremony (a huge deal for me!) but got into a who is the cutest competition with their dog Jack, who is absolutely supper friendly and a cute little thing. The inside is a dream and exceeded our expectations. You are draped in some of the most beautiful wood I've ever seen and the bed is super comfortable. Highly recommend!!!
Great B&B in a great City !

New Years Day thru 1/2. Enjoyed the Mummers parade and the local bar/restaurants then returned thru beautiful Rittenhouse Square with our friends to the old world charm of the Lippincott House. We relaxed in a hugh sitting room overlooking Locust St. Just a pleasure knowing we didnt have to drive home after a day of celebration. Every floor, every room presents excitement in its uniqueness and beauty and history. The host couple, MaryBeth & Jack are friendly and accommodating.
Great!!

Our stay at the Lippincott Inn, a lovely B&B in the heart of Rittenhouse Square, was really fabulous. The owners, Jack and Mary Beth, were amazingly accommodating of my wife, our 6-month old, and me, even going so far as to put us up for our fourth and final night in their library (free of charge) because all the other rooms were booked. The Inn itself is classic turn-of-the-century Philly, with arts-and-crafts wood built-ins throughout and a fresco painting in the main dining room. Our room was large, stately, and really lovely, and served our needs perfectly (they even brought in a Pack-and-Play crib for our baby). We didn't have a car with us, and there is no on-site parking which may be an issue for some. But I don't think there's a better value in fine B&Bs in the city.
