Our stay was amazing! This home is absolutely lovely and sparkling clean! It's perfect for a girls' weekend or retreat! The home is within walking distance to shopping, cookies, coffee, the Golden Lamb restaurant, and other delicious eateries. The host was very responsible to all our questions. The home is beautifully decorated with special touches throughout. This property is magnificent. Special thanks to the cleaning crew and everyone who works tirelessly to make this property so outstanding!
What a great stay! We loved the location and the historic charm. We stayed during December and the first floor was decorated beautifully. The second floor was warm and cozy with comfortable beds. Would stay again. Only thought is it would be nice to have a boot/shoe tray inside the front door. But only because we felt bad tracking in snow as we were in and out all day.
I can’t even begin to explain how much my family and I enjoyed staying here. This house was exactly what we were looking for. Gorgeous house, so clean, super cool history behind it! Everything was a small walk away! Charming little town. Hosts were beyond accommodating, helpful and responsive. Would totally stay again! Already recommended it to other family members.
This house was incredible. Each room had its own aesthetic yet it was all cohesive together as a home. The host was excellently communicative and friendly. They even left snacks in the kitchen! Lots of cute restaurants in the area. Quiet street overall.
This place was wonderful, beautiful, and clean! It was a great place to stay before my wedding and offered enough space for my bridesmaids and I to get ready in the morning!
We loved the home, location and Mandi made our rental process easy. She was accessible and responsive to questions during our stay. Highly recommend this great location.
Brought my aunt to visit Lebanon and meet up with family. In two short days we felt like we had been at a resort for a week! So nice to have good places to eat/drink within walking distance. The home is decorated perfectly, it’s spotless, and has everything you could need. Will definitely stay here again!
Our family had the best time staying in Lebanon and exploring everything the town had to offer. The home was clean, in an amazing location and every detail and corner of the hole was decorated to perfection.

Danna and her friends were wonderful guests! I would host them again anytime!
This was a great place to stay for a family vacation. The house was very clean and there were many extras. This house truly felt like home away from home.
Beautiful, relaxing stay for our daughter's lacrosse tournament
We couldn't be more impressed with this beautiful, cozy, clean home. We were in town for our daughter's lacrosse tournament and were so pleasantly surprised with our stay in Lebanon at the General Mitchel historic home. We loved the little town and will definitely be back.
Very well appointed. Spacious, tastefully decorated, would book this property again in a heartbeat. Was here for my husband's retirement as a little getaway. Walking distance to everything in downtown Lebanon. Loved the fact that it is a historical home.
