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 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.

This is really a Mansion. Good space and lots of space in the yard to walk around. Lots of history there too. Breakfast was sumptuous. I will recommend this place to people and will love to stay here for a longer period not just 1 night.

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.

I stayed at the Thornwald Mansion for a few days while on a business trip in Carlisle. The owner was so warm and personable, and the property was gorgeous. I am a vegan, and the owner was so kind in making me breakfast each morning. She also was so knowledgeable about the history of the property and town which I am always very interested in. Why stay at a chain hotel, when you can have a unique, pampered experience, at a super affordable rate?? This property is perfect for special occasions, but accessible for business trips, and leisure travel as well. The property is slightly tucked away, but also right downtown, with easy access to restaurants, stores, and anything else you may need. Definitely stay at the Thornwald Mansion!

We were visiting Carlisle for a parents weekend at Dickinson College. Thornwald has an interesting history in Carlisle and it is always fun to stay somewhere unique. Rkia, one of the owners, is probably one of the sweetest, loveliest people we have met.

My husband and I have stayed at Thornwald Mansion and we had an amazing and memorable stay. Beautifully decorated with antiques, well maintained and period-perfect venue, comfortable accommodations, high-end amenities, scrumptious homemade breakfasts and friendly innkeeper, gracious hospitality and so much more!!
We enjoyed the fabulous high-end beds with sumptuous bedding, towels and designer product toiletries. Those attributes are coupled with a delightful setting in a park. This historic mansion which has been restored to all its splendor and charm, made our stay very enjoyable. We enjoyed all accommodations that this place has to offer. We will definitely be back to this jewel of a place. Thank you, innkeeper, so much for bringing this historic landmark to life!! :-)

Very disappointing! I chose this hotel based on the information and reviews in Expedia but the information was wrong and . I wanted to have a room with a bathtub and I chose one based on Expedia information. When I checked in, the room I booked did not have a bathtub even though it says it has in Expedia. I had to upgrade to get a room with a bathtub by paying more. Ridiculously, hot water shuts down after one bath! The information in Expedia was wrong or faked. It doesn’t have amenities that a normal hotel does. No in-house phone, no body lotions, no coffee or tea available in the room, no closets, no employees to assist our luggages, only three towels. Bed side lights don’t work. Free internet in the room but was very slow. You cannot walk out from your room at night, being prohibited by a security system. The basic room was too small. After the disappointment at night, I expected an alleviation by a nice breakfast as it was mentioned in one of the reviews of Expedia but it never happened. It was prepared from canned orange juice and frozen foods bought from Walmart, I suspect. The quality of coffee and selection of tea were poor.

Old mansion beautifully refurbished by owner. One breakfast consisted of fresh fruit, egg, turkey bacon, homemade savory pastry, superb homemade croissants, and of course juice and coffee. Bathroom has rain shower and water jets. Suites also have full bath.
