We enjoyed our Christmas together at this beautiful home, ages running from 5 to 80! Everyone loved the home and it’s rich history. Well stocked kitchen. Super cool decor with comfortable furniture with multiple TV’s. The secret rooms and stairwell are awesome. We enjoyed the indoor AND outdoor fireplaces. The dining room table had plenty of room for 15 of us. Our dog enjoyed his stay too. Some folks visited the lake and Santa found us for Christmas morning;)Highly recommend this home and will be rebooking!

Wedding Weekend

Our group had a blast exploring the mansion and its unique history. Lots of room to spread out and enjoy games, music and lively conversations all at once. So many beautiful unique pre-wedding picture settings. We appreciated the warm greeting from Lauren’s staff and felt at home immediately. We’ll be back for a family game weekend soon!!

We booked Friday to Sunday for a golf getaway. The place was very clean and well stocked. Kitchen was very large and also well stocked. A lot of bathrooms and bedrooms. Obviously, a ton of space to spread out. The house had lots of fun little rooms and hidden walls and such. Pretty interesting They do not have central air conditioning but had portable units in most rooms. Like many older homes it didn’t have a lot of outlets. Bring an extension cord or two with you.

Family Birthday

We were looking for a place to celebrate my husbands and his brothers 60 birthday. This place was perfect!! Everyone could stay together. We had dinner outside Friday night while my 2 boys were both able to make a cake in the spacious kitchen. Rain came on Saturday forcing us inside but there was so much space no one felt enclosed. The kids and kids at heart loved exploring all the little passageways throughout the mansion. Never got to use the hot tub, but it’s a great feature. Lauren and her staff were amazing to work with and accommodated our every need. Location was perfect, right across from a pizza place, for that evening snack. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a great family gathering place.

Best Place Ever

15 of us (5 families) and a couple of dogs stayed at the Hamilton Mansion for our annual family "Thanksmas" celebration. It was wonderful! Not only is it half-way between our Rochester families and our Ohio families, it allows dogs, and it has a table large enough for all of us to sit around at the same time! For Thanksgiving that is important! It was decorated for the season with a Christmas tree in every room!

It was such an interesting place, eclectic and interesting. It’s a very cool place that is showing its age but that is part of the charm. The ladies that were running it were absolutely amazing! Over and above for sure:) would definitely go back or visit other locations that they manage!

Oh my this mansion!!!

This property seriously is amazing! We had a small family reunion with various ages from four years old to 80 years old and everyone was comfortable in this beautiful historic home. Check in was a breeze. The backyard is lovely, with a sunken garden and hot tub. We ate many meals outside on the beautiful patio as well as around the many multiple enormous dining room tables. The kids had so much to do and there are many beaches and wineries nearby. It is situated on a cute main street with a delicious pizza place right across the street. Get the torpedo pizza, you won’t be disappointed! There was also a park and a little ice cream parlor down the road. I would highly recommend this location. We have family coming from Buffalo, Pittsburgh and Detroit and it was a great central meeting point.

A relaxing stay in the Mansion

Spacious, charming and very suited to a long stay for a family . Great kitchen and grounds including a hot tub, outdoor eating. We had a couple minor glitches and the owner responded within minutes. A great tour of the house upon arrival. Highly recommended for events and for families.

I thought it would be too good to be true but it was as advertised! My two cousins and I were overwhelmed with the beauty of this property inside and out. I can’t recommend it enough. Not just the stately beauty of every room in this mansion but the amenities with the kitchen, the towels, the linens were all exceptional. I’ll never get to cook in a kitchen this nice again. They had two (2!) ice machines

Perfect for family gathering!

We were celebrating an 80th birthday this weekend. The house is very big and filled with an expansive collection of dishes and glassware that were perfect for the tea party we were having. Lauren, the host even brought tablecloths and linen napkins for our use. The caretaker Will, who lives on the third floor gave us a tour of the house and let us know that we were free to use anything that we saw in the house. Great communication with Lauren and Will.
