Wonderful Family Reunion

We had lived in Maryland about 30 years ago and were going back to celebrate mom's 90th birthday. The 19th Century Mansion/Farm House, was a great place for people to spread apart and at the same time visit and enjoy one another. Lots of history to explore in the areas as well.Mike was an AWESOME host! His kindness and willingness to help and provide was great! What a kind gentleman! We really had a GREAT time!

Great place for Family get together

Family reunion & birthday get together. We were 11 people slept very comfortably, it is a huge Victorian house so be prepared for some drafty spots in the winter. Other than taking a bit to get warmed up we had a great time well appointed kitchen. Well supplied with towels for the crew we were. Really had a great time!

We were having a family trip to experience Gettysburg and DC. Our stay here added to our experience; the history and grandness amazed us all. Michael is a great host! We would highly recommend a stay here and my family has talked about possibly going back again sometime we loved the house so much.

Staying at 1800 Trevanion Rd was an unexpectedly enjoyable experience. There were six of us, and the house offered plenty of space to spread out or come together, with lots of bedrooms in various configurations to choose from. Exploring the home and the property was an activity in itself—this isn’t your typical VRBO stay, and that’s exactly what made it special. The house is old, with creaky floors and dated furniture, but it was clean, quiet, and the beds were very comfortable. We loved the charm and character of the place.Mike, the host, was an absolute pleasure—truly one of the friendliest and most accommodating we’ve come across. He responded immediately to anything we needed, even going out to get us bottled water when he learned we forgot it at the store. He gave us a fun tour of the property, built us a fire, shared fresh chicken eggs, and introduced us to the cows and chickens (which were a hoot!). The bathrooms are modern, and parking was no issue. All in all, it was a unique, relaxing, and memorable stay. Well done, Mike—we’d definitely stay again!

Amazing historic home

We stayed at this historic mansion with several of our families from Michigan for our son’s wedding. Everyone was amazed at the history this home holds. This home is so large you could literally get lost exploring, plenty of room for everyone. Mike was a very responsive host.

Beautiful Historical Property

The property owner allowed me to rent the place to use as a location to get ready the day of my wedding. My entire bridal party stayed the night and we had a wonderful time. The historical charm of the property made for amazing photos! Mike was very responsive and was very hospitable! Would highly recommend, especially to those who appreciate history!

Great place for renewing family time

The home was welcoming for our family to gather. Fully equipped kitchen and bathrooms, large living room, dining room and game room. We would have liked one more tv in the game room or one of the 6 bedrooms for the kids while we sat and visited on the patio or living room. Owner was very accommodating and appreciated his knowledge and pride of the area.

Beautiful comfortable space

There was plenty of room for our entire group of 9 to spread out. The beds were comfortable, the space was good for conversations and dining. We came during a cold snap, and the house was hard to heat, but we worked with the host to make things more comfortable. Also, it warmed up from record cold of 11 degrees Fahrenheit to 30, which made a difference.

Travel back in time

The house is so impressive - if you are a history buff this is the place for you! If the owner is willing, it's worth getting a tour from him. I was fortunate enough to get a tour - fascinating history and the subtle modernizations that have been done to maintain comfort. Beds were very comfortable, room temperatures were adjustable, house was spotless. I would definitely recommend this mansion to anyone that appreciates history.

Historic Property

Amazing 200+ year old property in the historic Gettysburg area. Mike (the property owner) gave a complete tour of the property and provided fresh eggs from the chickens living (in a coop) on the property. Great time for a group of old friends who were shooting sporting clays in the area.

An incredibly unique experience

This property is not your every-day historic brick farm house. And there's not enough room here to describe all the facets that made this such a special and unique stay. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful and we enjoyed coffee outside. The house is very large and the owner has maintained the historic charm while modernizing the bathrooms, game room and kitchen. There is EVERY appliance you could ever dream of using in the kitchen as well as tons of serving ware and pots & pans. The beds were very comfortable, there were loads of towels for our party of 11, and endless hot water. The host was gracious and communicated well and answered questions timely. Our family made so many memories during this stay.

Perfect reunion spot

Trevanion is even more perfect for a reunion now than it was a year ago! Great place to reunite with friends. We actually never left the property from Friday to Sunday. Did yoga on the front lawn, explored the property and had plenty of space inside to eat and relax. There were 14 women and we were more than comfortable there. Mike is a wonderful host and very accommodating. We’ll be back.

This was the best rental experience I have ever had. Mike was so kind and generous. He even got us fresh eggs each morning! He was the perfect host. This property is amazing. The house is beautiful. It was so clean and welcoming. The beds couldn’t be more comfortable. We were 6 guys hanging out for a gaming weekend and the house had room to spare. We can’t say enough positive things.
