Everything you might wish for has been taken care of, so your stay will be comfortable as can be. The home is stunning. Elegance and historic charm come together in every stylistic detail. There’s plenty of room for everyone to gather together, whether it’s for elaborate meals prepared in the attractive kitchen, or around the fire pit for marshmallows and spooky stories. You can look forward to mesmerising views of the Lebanon Valley, and can explore the area on foot. There’s a forest and meadow that are ideal for hiking, as well as...
