One of the most beautiful places I've been able to find on VRBO. It's only a one-hour drive from NYC which was wonderful since the majority of my friends live in the city. Already planning another stay here.
Had a fantastic stay here, owner was very responsive and helpful. Check-in process was seamless, and a grand mansion was included! My family was ecstatic, and I will definitely be returning.
Had a wonderful time at this venue! We booked a 3 night rental of this property. Plenty of parking for my extensive group, staff was kind, welcoming, and very accommodating. A Disney-Wonderland feel having this entire place to ourselves!
This venue was like none other i've ever been to. They went above & beyond to ensure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The heart of the Chelsea Sun Inn team is unmatched!
Stayed 2 consecutive nights. We drove in from Scranton, huge facility with enough sleeping for my entire family. Staff was on call for anything and was very helpful with our questions. We all loved it!
We had an amazing time. Loved the place. It was huge and everybody loved it. We all decided to do a family reunion there next year. My mom was so happy which made us all happy. Can’t say enough about the place and look forward to our next adventure.
Great experience with this property! There was a very easy check-in process, there was somebody to help us get settled in. It's a huge mansion and I've never seen something like this for rent before. I will be returning, my family and friends loved it.
Booked a weekend shabbat stay for my family. The stay exceeded our expectations tremendously! This is our new go-to venue to host family parties and future events. Enough sleeping to accommodate my large family comfortably and facilities for
large, active, and most importantly a fun experience.
Recently stayed at this large quaint/modernized Mansion. They were more than helpful fulfilling all of our Shabbat needs. We were able to fully kosher the kitchen, they were very accommodating to our group and making our stay there wonderful. This is added to my list of go-to spots.
I booked a 3 day weekday getaway with close friends and some family members. They did a fantastic job accommodating this kosher crowd! I have added this mansion to my rolodex of places to host my large groups. Thank you Chelsea Sun Inn and wonderful staff!
Rented a weekend for my mom's 50th birthday. We had the majority of the family come in from Connecticut and NYC! The experience was amazing, and we all loved it! Will be returning for upcoming family events!
Had a great time at this estate! Rented it out for 3 days for a ski trip. Only 25 minutes from Blue Mountain and Camelback. Nothing more relaxing than returning from the mountains and enjoying the outdoor hot tub. The snowfall while we were in the hot tub made this experience magical!
Booked a stay here with a group consisting of my family and close friends, to put it short and sweet we had the absolute time of our lives! This is my new gem and i plan to return for future Shabbaton's and Parties, this will be my go-to spot. Only an hour away from NYC my group had no problem commuting. We arrived and had an entire mansion to ourselves, it felt surreal. Love this place!

Thank you, Mason! It was a pleasure hosting you and your family, hope to see everyone return come the summertime! Talk soon my friend.
The property was amazing! We had a group of close to 30 and it fit everyone comfortably with room to spare. We loved the hot tub and all the interesting decor. We felt like we were on a movie set. It was raining the weekend we were there, but luckily since the house is 20k sq ft there was more than enough space for us to socialize inside. We very well may hold another friend reunion here in the future!
I've been looking for a larger property in close proximity to Scranton, this property came up and I now see why the reviews are so stellar. Once you book with them they get you in touch with a coordinator who answers all questions leading up to the event. Seamless and headache free, they made me very comfortable and i will definitely be returning to Chelsea Sun Inn.
The biggest disappointment was the lack of hot water. Our guests could not shower. Also, the hot tub did not function after our first night. It would be nice if all bedrooms were equally well appointed. It was uncomfortable giving some guests beautiful rooms and beds and others given what I would call substandard accommodations. There were a fair number of items in disrepair throughout the house. A little TLC is needed. The house had trouble keeping up with the cold weather. None of the fireplaces seemed to be in working order. I think a discount/partial refund would be appropriate.
Celebramos la quinceañera de mis hijas. El lugar fue increíble. Toda mi familia tenía un lugar para quedarse y era como si alquiláramos nuestra propia ciudad. Organizamos juegos en el campo de césped y tuvimos cenas más grandes adentro. ¡Amo este lugar!
