Wedding Weekend

This home is stunning! We travelled to PA for our son's wedding in nearby Newtown Square. We booked this house so that our extended family could join us. After seeing the online photos, we arranged for the our son and the groomsmen to be photographed there and I'm so glad we did - the pictures are beautiful. Book this property - you will not be disappointed!

Lodging for a Micro-Wedding in Philly

We were a group of family and friends of a bride and groom, who were also part of us. We arrived from four different directions and spent the first day just having a good time catching up, hanging out, and using the facilities of the property, such as the heated pool and spa. The next day, we went to the wedding chapel in Philly, VAUX Studio, to prepare for and perform the marriage ceremony. Afterward, we went down the street for a marvelous dinner at Steak 48. At the end of the day, we returned to the property for a wonderfully relaxing late evening. The next morning, we took our time waking up and leisurely getting packed to go. This was 1000% better than booking a block of eight rooms in 5-star hotel for two nights!

Great, spacious home with lots of character

Beautiful historic mansion with lots of space for large groups. We stayed for a family get-together with 6 couples and several children under 10. The kids loved the pool and badminton/basketball court. Not a whole lot to do in the direct surrounding area but we loved the house so much we didn't really leave. Thanks Melanie!
