I would recommend this house. It has so much character. Steve was very nice and accommodating. The house was very clean and the kitchen was updated. The only issue was the bathroom rooms set up. But it was still well worth the stay.

This was an amazing house. The house has a perfect mix of historical elements with modern conveniences. Check in and out was easy and the property manager was fantastic. The area is quiet with easy access to hiking/ biking and a quant downtown. Would definitely go back!

This house is just as listed! We had a lovely stay with 2 adults and 3 kids (ages 11,7,7). The house is an impressive mix of modern amenities and staying true to its time. I was initially worried about young kids staying with the older items but they loved it and felt like they were staying in a mansion. We visited many sights in Hershey and Lancaster. Short drive to both. Thanks for a memorable stay!

We had the best time! Steve is a great host. He greeted us and answered all of our questions. The house was amazing; I would like to go back in the Fall and just stay at the house and enjoy reading and relaxing. The grounds around the house were great for the kids to run around and we all enjoyed coffee on the porch every morning. The bike trail is right across the road too, and plenty to do in the area.

Stayed at the Iron Master mansion while attending a wedding in the area. I absolutely loved the home, as I am a fan of all things antique and historical. The house is absolutely stunning!! Perfect for adults without physical limitations and older teens. May not be a good fit for adults with physical limitations and young children. The home does require the frequent use of stairs as both bathrooms are on the 2nd floor and one bathroom may have to be accessed from the second set of stairs in the back of the home. Otherwise, the home was perfect for 2 families of 3 people with comfortable beds and and wonderfully large kitchen and dining areas and beautifully meticulous outdoor areas. Just loved it and hope to visit again!

Amazing location for us visiting family in the area--we were 1.5hr from a wedding in Phila, less than 30 minutes to our beloved former home, Hershey, and 25 minutes from our York County family. The home was spacious and beautifully modernized while still maintaining innumerable historic charms. I always hesitate to stay in older homes--I'm not generally a fan of victorian style and it's so hard to keep them clean. But this home is the PERFECT BALANCE of historical appeal and modern amenities and unbelievably clean for its style and age! The beds were comfortable and the very well stocked kitchen (with a real coffee grinder!) and cozy living room were wonderful spots to spend family time together. There was even a LIVE Christmas tree (not artificial!)--this tremendous effort alone demonstrated for us the genuine care put into hosting guests in this home. Minutes walk to Chickies Ridge to hike and run along the river was great. Communication from Steve was also perfect--completely accessible without being at all overbearing or intrusive. You can just tell by the care of the home that its restoration has been a labor of love for him and we are so grateful he shared this with our family! We hope to stay again! Thank you, Steve!

Steve was very responsive to our questions. His property was beautiful. For a house built in 1860 , he has taken great care to make it very accommodating.
