We absolutely loved our stay at the Thornwald Mansion. It is nicely secluded in a park yet you are within walking distance to Dickinson College and a shopping center. The property has outstanding amenities and the food selections at breakfast were delicious. The service exceeded our expectations. The room and the bed were comfortable and very quiet. This mansion went under fire and then was rebuilt by the current owner from the ground up paying attention to detail and preserving its history. The grounds are gorgeous. Great location surrounded by trees and park. It was the most relaxing vacation we had had in a long time. We will definitely be back.

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.

A treasure in Carlisle

Beautiful and unique, this space is a destination in its own right. The owners are very friendly and accommodating. You can expect a beautifully furnished room (with extra-thoughtful bedding and amenities) plus a simply spectacular breakfast in the morning.
