Historic 120 Year-Old Mansion with Pool, Hot Tub, Arcade, Pickleball, and More!

Pickleball court?? Yes!!!! There are two houses on the 10 acre estate...the main mansion and the carriage house. The mansion has 5 big living and dining areas downstairs with unbelievable patios wrapping around 180 degrees, a modern kitchen, and the upstairs has 5 beautiful bedrooms with 3 full baths and a mirroring patio to the first floor. The carriage house currently has a small kitchen, full bath, 3 bedrooms, and a bunk nook upstairs. The back patio of the carriage house has a ping pong table and a 6-person hot tub! The game room has a commercial air hockey table, pool table, pinball, and 3 arcades!!!! The pool is amazing and there are disk golf baskets, a full-size pickleball court, a putting green, a fire pit, and seating for more than 35 spread around the outdoor property. This place truly is one of a kind where history meets modern amenities.

The property offered this family of 20+ pretty much all we needed. Loved the pickleball court and location was close enough for the majority of the family. We needed more bathrooms was an issue but otherwise we enjoyed our stay.

TLC would make it perfect
Beautiful property, wanted the kids to have a swimming birthday party.. we’re not told until just arriving of $299 heating charge. Only one television. At least 14 light bulbs out, major location floor tile evident to have been loose before, mixer but no bowel with it one microwavable dish or cup, we used our own blankets to be warm at night. Dryer hose was off and had been for quite awhile, we fixed it, we’re not told of instruction book to run things so had issues. This all sounds bad, so sorry. Was in the bnb industry for twenty years so know what is expected. We totally enjoyed being in one location together!

Great weekend with extended family
This property is pretty incredible. The house is old and beautiful, and the outdoor space is generous and a perfect place for big families to get together. We couldn't have asked for a better getaway spot for our crew. Thank you for having us!
