Description

We are a junior scholar at the University of Pennsylvania and a software developer who have called Mt. Airy home. We are finally embarking on an extended vacation with our 7-year-old daughter and are looking for a respectful tenant to enjoy our space while we are away. We love the peace of the nearby Wissahickon trails and the warm community vibe at the local cafes. We are looking for a quiet, reliable people who will appreciate a serene environment and care for our home as their own. If you value being steps away from nature and great local food, you’ll feel right at home here.
