Mansion-Billiards Suite
This was a fantastic option for two couples. The beds were very comfy, the unit was very clean and we very much enjoyed the pool table in our unit. For any potential guests with mobility issues you should prepare for the stairs. Thank you for hosting, we had a great stay!

Fun little spot, could use some upkeep
The mansion was stunning! Pre check in communication on point! When we arrived there was a murder mystery party happening and it was super fun to see plus we were able to access the cash bar which was a lovely welcome. There's also a lovely little self serve shop with snacks

Weekend Getaway
The mansion is beautiful! We wanted something different than a hotel room and was pleasantly surprised and happy with our room and the whole house. Take time to look around at the details of everything as they are amazing.

Friends birthday weekend
Beautiful home. Peaceful and welcoming. Very quiet house, but walls on 3rd floor so thin we could understand conversations. We were up until midnight and they quieted down at the 10p time.

Billiards Suite Stay
Pretty nice place, good hosts except neighbors were swearing and rude. Would have appreciated knowing how extremely thin the walls were. This is a billiards suite and the ‘quiet hours’ were vague, and can be interpreted in different ways. Rules should be specified more— if we were not expected use the pool table after 10 (which most people play pool at night). Seems like that should be stated in detail on the listing for this suite specifically. Even listening to Tv QUIETLY at 11 upset the neighbors. Might as well just say bedtime is at 10 if we can’t do anything that’s gonna upset someone. Spent good money to stay here, should be able to take advantage and enjoy all the amenities we paid for.

Fall color stay
We had a little trouble getting in because i didn't scroll down and read the whole check in message explaining to hit the check mark after the numbers on the key pad. 😅
Only one time leaving the unit (the billiard room) we couldn't get out, but we kept trying and it finally opened. We still really enjoyed our stay and lived the decor!

Book Club get away
Our stay couldn’t have been any nicer. The only thing better would have been a longer one. The home was spacious and to have the first floor for relaxing was also a plus. I really can’t say enough-decorated beautifully, comfortable beds and bedrooms, spacious living space with billiards table…..so very nice. It was so nice that instead of eating out one night, we stayed in as it was so nice and comfortable. Our book club was visiting the Glensheen Mansion upon reading the book Will To Murder do we decided it would be fun to stay in a mansion. A perfect choice for a perfect weekend. Thank you!
