The Gables is a short taxi or shuttle ride from either the Philadelphia International Airport or from the train station at 30th Street.

The #13 trolley of SEPTA's Green Line stops right out front of the house and is just 5 minutes to the University and 12 minutes to Center City and the historic district.

By car, it is less than 5 minutes from South Street Exit 346A off of Route 76 Expressway. From the exit, head away from Center City toward The University of Pennsylvania. Keep straight on Spruce Street. Turn left at 42nd Street. Proceed 3 blocks. At the stop sign turn right on Chester Avenue. Continue on Chester through Clark Park.

The Gables is at 4520 Chester Avenue, on the left at the end of the first residential block after the park. It can easily be recognized on the corner of 46th by the large wrap-around porch and glowing candles in the window. For convenient off-street parking, turn left onto 46th Street and left into the driveway behind the house. Walk through the side yard to the front entrance via the wrap-around porch to ring the front door bell. There you will be welcomed by the hosts.
