2 bedroom apartment - Mt Penn

A great short stay, or temporary residence that is easy to locate, comfortable and affordable. Built in the 1930's it has served as a family friendly apartment unit continuously since that time.

Located in a quiet residential neighborhood, the Mill Stone - Mt Penn residence is close to the Oley Valley, Exeter Township, the Schuylkill River and Pennsylvania Dutch Country. The actual property is situated at Cumberland Ave and Hollywood Court, just minutes away from the Santander Centers in nearby Reading, PA. Vintage architectural charm will welcome guests with comfortable, yet up to date accommodations, plus a great view of Mt Penn. We are minutes away from Reading and Allentown and close to covered bridges, Hex signs and Pennsylvania Dutch country. Amish communities in neighboring Lancaster County, along with varied antique and boutique shopping, attractions and cultural events are also nearby.

Our setting also is ideal for a quick weekend get-away from more urban areas like Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York. This spacious and Art Deco-like apartment is situated on the second floor of a classic, nearly century year old Tudor Style property. Sleeps up to four people comfortably with a separate bedroom, bathroom and eat in kitchen area. With WiFi and Hi-def TV viewing you can enjoy today's shows and movies with Cable, Roku, Netflix and Amazon Prime Video.

The owners obviously tried! Decor was suited someone's who loves the Victorian style. As hard as they tried, though, the factors that put me off were the very hard bed, the extension cords everywhere (numerous warnings that using multiple things would trip breakers) the carpeted bathroom (ew!) and threadbare, uneven floors. Some might find it charming; to me the place just seemed tired and out of date. Finally, as a disabled person with a cane, the outside uneven stairs and 2 inside flights up to rental were a challenge.

Love the well stocked kitchen and bathroom!
Thanks for making the stay so convenient. It was great to be able to make some coffee in the morning, and the bathroom had plenty of towels, shampoo and body wash. Cozy place.

very well kept time machine!
From the solid wood front door (complete with blacksmith hinges), to the turn of the century milk box, it was an unexpectedly nostalgic trip back to my earliest memories, of a time when life was simpler and so much safer! The pictures don't really capture the feel of the place. I loved the balcony, and the well maintained decor and fixtures. Marc is a very gracious and friendly host, thank you so much for helping make my daughters wedding a relaxed and memorable event!

Wonderful homecoming
I grew up ~7 blocks away from this wonderful 2nd-floor flat, in town for a high-school reunion. I loved the facilities, location, “walkability” of the neighborhood, and especially the kindness and flexibility of host Marc. Very roomy apartment with all the promised appliances, etc. My favorite “room” was the front deck, with a beautiful view of Antietam Valley - ideal spot for morning coffee or evening nightcap. I look forward to returning.

Clean and cozy
My friend and I were in Reading to attend the Night Lights lantern festival. We found this little gem and it was perfect for our overnight stay. The apartment was clean, cozy and well stocked. The beds and couches were comfy and the outside patio was fantastic to have morning coffee overlooking the quiet and beautiful neighborhood. The decor was tasteful and charming making us feel right at home. Overall a very nice VRBO - thank you!

Gorgeous home
My mom, sister, niece and myself spent the weekend antiquing in Adamstown and needed a great place to rest. This apartment was perfection. Cutest neighborhood ever. The apartment was bigger and more spacious than the pics showed. The balcony was everything, we sat and watched the sun set and the neighborhood go by. The place was very clean and fully equipped. We are already planning next trip just to stay yhete longer

Beautiful, charming Craftsman era details
If you like this era, you will love this property. Older neighborhood, beautiful Craftsman details like stained glass windows by the fireplace; a charming balcony and period details like the milk-box. The owner communicated with me immediately whenever I had a question. I loved it; my husband who doesn't love "old" houses and neighborhoods wasn't as charmed though he conceded the beds were very comfortable. The neighborhood very close by is charming, but a few streets away is less appealing. I really enjoyed staying here

Our short stay in Reading was great. Unfortunately, we didn't have a lot of time to explore the area but the apartment was cute and quaint and served its purpose! If I could ask the owner to splurge on one small thing it would be better quality toilet paper.
