Historic Mansion

We enjoyed our stay. The house was spacious and comfortable. Couple minor suggestions, I would recommend a couple pieces of cook wear ie Pyrex bake wear be added, revamp of outside seating, labeling light switches. No complaints.

Wonderful Family Reunion

We had lived in Maryland about 30 years ago and were going back to celebrate mom's 90th birthday. The 19th Century Mansion/Farm House, was a great place for people to spread apart and at the same time visit and enjoy one another. Lots of history to explore in the areas as well.Mike was an AWESOME host! His kindness and willingness to help and provide was great! What a kind gentleman! We really had a GREAT time!

Great place for Family get together

Family reunion & birthday get together. We were 11 people slept very comfortably, it is a huge Victorian house so be prepared for some drafty spots in the winter. Other than taking a bit to get warmed up we had a great time well appointed kitchen. Well supplied with towels for the crew we were. Really had a great time!

An incredibly unique experience

This property is not your every-day historic brick farm house. And there's not enough room here to describe all the facets that made this such a special and unique stay. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful and we enjoyed coffee outside. The house is very large and the owner has maintained the historic charm while modernizing the bathrooms, game room and kitchen. There is EVERY appliance you could ever dream of using in the kitchen as well as tons of serving ware and pots & pans. The beds were very comfortable, there were loads of towels for our party of 11, and endless hot water. The host was gracious and communicated well and answered questions timely. Our family made so many memories during this stay.

Beautiful comfortable space

There was plenty of room for our entire group of 9 to spread out. The beds were comfortable, the space was good for conversations and dining. We came during a cold snap, and the house was hard to heat, but we worked with the host to make things more comfortable. Also, it warmed up from record cold of 11 degrees Fahrenheit to 30, which made a difference.

We loved our stay in the mansion! There are so many antiques in the house. Michael was very accomodating and helpful in so many ways.

Great place for a group getaway

This historic property is a wonderful place for a group getaway. Very clean and well kept. The beds were comfortable, bathrooms are almost brand new. Kitchen is well equipped and gathering spaces are abundant. Host was super responsive and provided us the perfect place for a mini college reunion. Can't wait to go back again.

Great place for renewing family time

The home was welcoming for our family to gather. Fully equipped kitchen and bathrooms, large living room, dining room and game room. We would have liked one more tv in the game room or one of the 6 bedrooms for the kids while we sat and visited on the patio or living room. Owner was very accommodating and appreciated his knowledge and pride of the area.

Travel back in time

The house is so impressive - if you are a history buff this is the place for you! If the owner is willing, it's worth getting a tour from him. I was fortunate enough to get a tour - fascinating history and the subtle modernizations that have been done to maintain comfort. Beds were very comfortable, room temperatures were adjustable, house was spotless. I would definitely recommend this mansion to anyone that appreciates history.

Historic Property

Amazing 200+ year old property in the historic Gettysburg area. Mike (the property owner) gave a complete tour of the property and provided fresh eggs from the chickens living (in a coop) on the property. Great time for a group of old friends who were shooting sporting clays in the area.

Perfect reunion spot

Trevanion is even more perfect for a reunion now than it was a year ago! Great place to reunite with friends. We actually never left the property from Friday to Sunday. Did yoga on the front lawn, explored the property and had plenty of space inside to eat and relax. There were 14 women and we were more than comfortable there. Mike is a wonderful host and very accommodating. We’ll be back.

A perfect pride and prejudice weekend

My friends and I threw a pride and prejudice themed party for our friends who are about to be married, and this house was the perfect setting! It is beautiful, massive, and has incredible grounds. The bar/game room was a particular highlight. There was plenty of space for 12 of us to sleep comfortably and a good kitchen to cook all of our meals for the weekend pretty easily. The house and furniture were a little old and rickety, but that is to be expected for this type of property and overall added to the vibes for the weekend. Mike was a very generous and responsive host who even ordered extra glasses and silverware when we weren't sure there would be enough table settings for everyone. Would definitely stay there again!

Fantastic experience in a beautiful location

The house was absolutely beautiful––spacious, inviting, and full of lots of little thoughtful extras and amenities. Mike was an exceptional host as well! He went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, kept in touch with us to be sure we were taken care of during the week, and made the check-in and check-out process as easy and accommodating as possible. This is truly a wonderful place to stay, especially if you appreciate older homes and the history & craftsmanship that accompany them. Thank you to Mike for helping my family have an unforgettable holiday at this property. We would choose to stay here all over again with zero hesitation, and I can only hope that we'll be able to return one day.

This was the best rental experience I have ever had. Mike was so kind and generous. He even got us fresh eggs each morning! He was the perfect host. This property is amazing. The house is beautiful. It was so clean and welcoming. The beds couldn’t be more comfortable. We were 6 guys hanging out for a gaming weekend and the house had room to spare. We can’t say enough positive things. We are definitely coming back!
