We were in town for the Ford Nationals. So much history in this home! Luxurious accommodations! The hosts were incredible and very flexible with our time frame. We had to be out early each morning and she made our breakfast to go. My husband and I will definitely be back next year! Thank you Rkia for your investment in this home. The passion you and your husband have for it shows.

Make sure your air conditioner works
Make sure that the air conditioning works in your room. Ours didn’t and we had a sleepless night. We could have been moved to another room, but that was not offered to us even though one was available.

The staff was especially accommodating. I requested coffee @ 5 a.m. since I am an early riser. It was delivered promptly and it was of high quality. Tea in my room was served upon my return. Breakfasts were excellent. I stayed by myself and it was exactly the respite I needed.

This is really a Mansion. Good space and lots of space in the yard to walk around. Lots of history there too. Breakfast was sumptuous. I will recommend this place to people and will love to stay here for a longer period not just 1 night.

I stayed at the Thornwald Mansion for a few days while on a business trip in Carlisle. The owner was so warm and personable, and the property was gorgeous. I am a vegan, and the owner was so kind in making me breakfast each morning. She also was so knowledgeable about the history of the property and town which I am always very interested in. Why stay at a chain hotel, when you can have a unique, pampered experience, at a super affordable rate?? This property is perfect for special occasions, but accessible for business trips, and leisure travel as well. The property is slightly tucked away, but also right downtown, with easy access to restaurants, stores, and anything else you may need. Definitely stay at the Thornwald Mansion!
