“Amazing wedding venue and lodging”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We were married at Faunbrook B&B last Saturday, 8/13/11 amid our dearest friends and family. Lori and Steve were so easy to work with, and very flexible for meetings and walkthroughs with our photographer, caterer, and my future in-laws. We had guests staying there Wed~Sunday nights, and had rented the whole B&B for Friday and Saturday nights, for the ceremony and catered reception to be held there as well.

I really don't know where to begin in complimenting/reviewing them, but if you would like to speak with one of us, just ask Lori or Steve for our phone number and we'd be happy to talk with you directly.

Whilst the B&B has lovely period furnishings, we did do some decorating and they were very easy to work with in our ideas. The photos from our stay and the ceremony/reception showcased the lovely environment very nicely.

Lori is an amazing chef -- the lemon scones are really to die for! And they are both very friendly, hospitable, professional, and checked in just enough with us to know that they were there if we needed them, and they were not at all intrusive in any way, at any time.

We live literally 5 blocks away from Faunbrook and we will be singing its high praises to all our friends and family. Two of our wedding party have already booked their own weekend getaway having enjoyed the experience so much! I am hoping to snag a couple of rooms last minute for a mini-Junior High reunion over Labor Day weekend since our wedding was so micro -- 14 people total including the officiant, photographer, and flutist -- I couldn't invite 2 of my best friends.

Lori and Steve also worked well with our caterer Olive Branch Restaurant of West Chester (John, Milanee, and Christopher were outstanding and I highly recommend their catering abilities), Bob Wood Photography, and Taya Shepard of AlteredVows -- each and all of whom I also highly recommend.

Thank you Lori and Steve for making our special day even more so! Everyone loved your space and you!

Beautiful house and landscaping, extremely well maintained and clean. Very comfortable beds, high quality linens and towels. Very friendly owners. Delicious breakfast. Only minor drawback is proximity to Intersection. Highly recommended.

“Where Character, Charm, and Comfort Combine”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 May 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Faunbrook is a magnificent Victorian-era mansion that has been completely redone with the maximal comfort of guests in mind. I stayed there years ago before the advent of current owners Lori and Steve Zytkowicz, and it was dark and depressing. Now the bedrooms have been redone without sacrificing any of the period feel, and the common rooms are handsome and spacious as only the Victorians "knew how to do it." To put the same thing another way, the Zytkowiczs have captured the beauty, liveliness, and grace of the Victorian era without the mustiness and gloom we too often associate with it. Lori and Steve themselves are classic hosts--affable, accommodating, and informative without being intrusive. The food was delicious, prompt, and hot; the towels and linens were clean and fresh. My wife and I would recommend this B&B without any reservations, especially for couples. In sum, a great spot to spark new romance or recapture the old.

“Beautiful and comfortable”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2011

people found this review helpful

We enjoyed our stay at Faunbrook. The room was very pretty and we enjoyed complimentary wine and looking through a scrapbook with the history of the house. Delicious breakfast. Easy to find and close to downtown West Chester, where there are lots of choices for restaurants within just a few very walkable blocks. Only problem was that the water in the bathroom wasn't terribly hot on the third floor.

Room Tip: All the rooms are beautifully appointed.

“Relaxing and Gorgeous Accomodations with Lots of Personality”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 March 2011

We have stayed at Faunbrook several times now. Lori and Steve made us feel right at home from suggesting the perfect room to entertaining us during breakfast. Lovely, Victorian decor and bedding but with all of the modern amenities. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves yet again and can't wait to visit in the future. You will love it.
