Where do you start ? From the time we arrived it was first class all the way. We were greeted by a wonderful staff. Our car was parked for us and our luggage delivered to the Grand Gables room. This is the largest room in the castle and we sure reccommend it. The soft music, champaign, cheese and goodies were perfect. Afternoon Tea and then dinner at their companion property exceed all expectations. Eggs benedict for breakfast were wonderful. It's rare in a propoerty of this nature to have the owners, manager and staff all make you feel as though you were right at home. Jim and Donna Winner along with Laura Ackerly and her staff are to be congratulated. This is the ultimate in luxury and relaxation.

I was in need of some serious R&R. This would be a great place for a romantic getaway or a girl’s weekend. I found it to be a perfect destination for a girl that just needs to escape life for a moment, ALONE. All the staff was so accommodating, and made me feel like a princess. From the time I made my reservation to the time I checked out, they took care of everything. They greeted me at the entrance, took my bag immediately to my room and parked my car. As I was checking in they offered me a glass of champagne or hot apple cider (Of course I opted for the champagne!). Marci (the assistant manager) took me on a tour of the mansion, and showed me to my room.
I stayed in Park Place, a cozy & charming little room off by itself. They had a delectable little tray of snacks and a bottle of champagne waiting for me on the desk. The bed was so plush, that it just swallows you up when you lay down. The best part was the Jacuzzi tub in the bathroom. My only complaint was the noise. I could hear people talking and moving around outside my room. Obviously the place is not very well insulated. I could easily ignore it though, a mother’s gift of drowning out annoying noises.
Of course I went to the spa as part of my stay. My package included a spa lunch which I enjoyed in the sun room right beside the fireplace. After lunch I went down to the spa where I had a Neck/Back/Shoulder Massage, an Essentials Facial, and Spa Mani/Pedi. All of which I enjoyed immensely. After my Mani Pedi I spent some time in the sauna to dry my nails, and then I got cleaned up in the monsoon showers inside the ladies locker room. I left the spa feeling relaxed and refreshed, which I guess is the idea!
I stayed in my room the rest of the night, and immediately jumped into the Jacuzzi with a good book and a glass of champagne. Um, does life get any better than that??? At my request, the front desk sent me up some menus so that I could order in some chow. They dealt with the delivery person, and brought the food right up to my room. Since I did not leave, I didn't take advantage of the turn down service, but they left a tray of goodies outside my door.
The next morning I had my breakfast brought to my room, which was abundant and delicious. I had the Eggs Benedict w/ home fries and a fruit & yogurt parfait. Served with that was some coffee cake, coffee and orange juice.
Before I left I took a stroll around the mansion to sneak a peek at the other rooms, this is allowed as long as the rooms are not occupied. When I was ready to check out I called the front desk, they came right up to carry down my bag and brought my car around for me. Yes, its a little pricey but to me it was worth every penny! I would most definitely recommend a stay at the Buhl mansion!!!

My boyfriend and I needed some time away from our kids and jobs. We planned to go see family near Pittsburgh. In doing an internet search for some things to do around the area, I landed on the website for the Buhl Mansion. I didn't have a clue at the time what a blessing this was. We scheduled one night in the Grand Gables room with a 4 hour spa package and dinner at Tara. When we arrived, we were greeted by an amazing staff that didn't allow us to lift a finger the entire stay. On arrival, we were provided with champagne and a brief tour of this amazing, historical facility. We had lunch there as part of the spa package which was very good! The room was incredible! It was clean, comfortable with beautiful furnishings, a super comfy bed and a huge jacuzzi tub. We were welcomed to our room with a try of fruit, snacks and champagne. The spa was very clean and the staff was professional and friendly. Comfortable transportation was provided from Buhl Mansion over to Tara for dinner. I definitely recommend Tara for a meal while you are here. The food was great, the service was very friendly and the portions were huge. With a stay at the Buhl Mansion, you are provided with a 25% off voucher for dinner at Tara which made the price very reasonable. Turn down service was provided, so when we arrived back to the room after dinner, we were welcomed by another tray with chocolates and other little treats. The next morning you can have breakfast in the dining room or breakfast in bed. We opted for breakfast in bed. Again, the food was excellent, the service impeccable and the presentation was beautiful. I feel like my words are inadequate in describing how wonderful our stay was. It truly was a blessing to have had this experience!

This is a huge mansion in remote Sharon PA. I was on the way across PA with my wife on business when we decided to take a few day break at this spa bandb. The rooms are luxurious and massive...plus, the traffic is very light at this establishment, so it is perfect for alone time. We stayed in a massive upstairs bedroom that had everything you could want, including giant whirlpool, california king, post and beam ceilings, climate control...you name it! The breakfasts are in room, which is a nice plus for a romantic getaway. No dinner, though, so beware...you may be having dominos as Sharon goes dark at 5 PM. I would also steer clear of the 'stores' under the Winner umbrella...stay at the inn instead, it is much more fun!!!! One complaint would be to update the early 90s TVs...it is time for flat screens if the chains are doing it! We took in the spa services, which are in house in the converted basement. They were nice, if somewhat amateurishly presented. The massages were nice and the mani pedi services were well done. You do, however, get the small town feel here. In all, it is a great place to see...the owner also owns the Radisson and the Tara in nearby Clark, which all have very 'personal' touches from a local boy done good. Get the story from the night watchman...it was my favorite part of the trip!!!
