Welcome to The Moravian House. Centrally located. A short walk to downtown Bethlehem & Moravian Academy, a short drive to Moravian College, Lehigh University, The Casino & the Arts District of Southside Bethlehem.
Built in the 1800s, The Moravian House is full of charm. Our quaint outdoor space is perfect for day or night time lounging.
We look forward to having you as our guests & hope you enjoy our beautiful Bethâlum as much as we do.
The location of this place was great! We were able to walk around downtown. We loved the living room spaces downstairs.
One comment is that it is listed at 10 beds, but a handful of these beds are couches and sleeper sofas. It worked for us because we used air mattresses, but please beware of that (it does say this in the listing, just reiterating).
We arrived at 10:00 at night and ended up not staying at this property due to what we considered an unclean property with a very pungent animal urine smell in the upstairs area where the beds are located. Anyone knows what this smells like and it has probably seeped into the hardwood flooring. The furniture in the living area was old, broken down and stained. The photographs on the listing are enhanced and are not a true depiction of the space which in reality would appear to look like run down college student housing at best. The freezer was full of frozen dog treats. One of the "beds" appears to be just a green chez lounge. Parking is around the block on the street or around the block in a pay to park lot. The front door landing and railing is raw plywood that is starting to give way when stepped on. We advised the owner who denied any odors, claimed he lived there a few days a week and that the dog treats were in the freezer because he makes and sells them at a local market of sorts. Maybe he is used to the smell. The owner also claimed the front door landing was currently under repair. Online Google photos dated 9 months earlier (Aug. 23) show the same front door landing in disrepair. We asked for a refund which was never received. We ended up paying for 3 hotel rooms at the Hyatt Place a few blocks away. We have stayed at many VRBO properties and this one was easily the worst. It is advertised for what it is not.
We stayed here for the Celtic Classic. It was a manageable walk to the fairgrounds with plenty of restaurants along the way to take care of any meals. The property was charming--the front porch was especially relaxing! Only one bathroom, but that's typical for these houses. We had a lovely time.
