The Blaylock mansion was such a unique and cool accommodation to stay at. It is conveniently located just 10 min away from the fun Baker street shopping hub but far enough away to enjoy the quiet lake side view. The hosts were incredibly hospitable and there was always great coffee ready with fresh fruit in the morning. The room was clean and quiet. Highly recommend staying here!

It has one of the most beautiful gardens I've ever seen. Designed over years. There are hidden treasures all through it. The Mansion itself is exactly what you would expect from an ultra Rich family from 100 plus years ago. I definitely will be staying again

Absolutely loved it. We explored the Gardens and enjoyed the pathways around the maze of beautiful plants and water features. We spent time swimming in the huge outdoor pool and playing games and billiards in the basement. The room was very clean and quiet and the owners and staff are welcoming. Highly recommend.

The setting and furnishings were appealing and morning coffee was refreshing. The bed was very comfortable. The Presidential Suite is large but the TV and ceiling fan did not work. Could get only cold water in the shower stall. Hot water was available in the tub shower. The pool was empty and needing work. There was no room service. Pricey for the obvious issues and lack of service.

My husband and I stayed just one night. The property obviously has so much history and character. The grounds are so beautiful. I can see it being an incredible place for weddings. The property is very clean and we had everything we needed. We slept very well. Unfortunately we couldn’t use the pool and tennis court like we wanted. September weather can be tricky for the pool with the leaves falling all the time. The owners are very friendly and accommodating. Thank you very much.
