The Historic Brasenhill Mansion

Retreat to The Brasenhill Mansion for your next unforgettable Vacation, Event. Or enjoy a small intimate wedding for only $12,000 (now 100 or less people with provisions) Check out our homesite for wedding packages and details.
Bright, serene spaces, unmatched architectural craftsmanship, majestic grounds & lavish appointments await you. Celebrities, political figures, & notable elite were once privy to this finery of yesteryear. Today, a new standard of luxury is yours at the timeless, exquisite Brasenhill Mansion.
Enjoy the noted estate with its expanse of lush gardens, statuary, and mature trees. Plus, our convenient location to Hershey, Lancaster, Harrisburg and Lebanon - filled with luxury spas, choice restaurants, and fabulous historic attractions - will create the most enticing excursions for your special trip.
Take a step back from everyday life and treat your family and friends to a once in a lifetime experience. The Brasenhill is one of the most treasured historic Pennsylvania estates.
This exquisite home was built in 1928 by the esteemed John Worrilow, founder of Lebanon Steel Co., as a peaceful getaway for himself and his family. Each room was artfully and intentionally designed by one of the architects for the Washington National Cathedral. From the elegant “Main Staircase” mirroring a favorite staircase at the Philadelphia Museum of Art to “The Worrilow Great Room,” a spacious living area modeled after the prestigious castle “Haddon Hall” of Derbyshire, England where “The Princess Bride” was filmed, complete with Italian carved molding and a marble fireplace....its not until you’ve meandered these historic spaces and explored the majestic grounds that you can truly soak in the history and charm of the Brasenhill Mansion.
The estate boasts 9 luxurious bedrooms (with TV's, bluetooth speakers & more!), 9 bathrooms, 4 Kitchens fully equipped, one with a Viking stove, a convection oven, 2 commercial-grade dishwashers (done in 90 seconds!), 2 dining rooms, a library with leather seating and TV, a massive Sun Porch, various alcoves and sitting areas, and a basement -level man cave with multiple TVs, pool table and more.
Check Out a Virtual Video Tour Here
The Sun Porch is your gateway to the grounds, leading first to our spacious outdoor patio which hosts enchanting evenings you’re sure to cherish for years to come.
The remarkable "Grand Master Suite" spans the West wing of the 2nd floor of the mansion. It includes the Master Bedroom with King sized four-poster bed, fireplace, spacious sitting area with flatscreen TV, as well as his and hers custom walk-in dressers and an attached Solarium, or “Sleeping Porch” as it was first intended. The Master Bath includes elegant windows with stunning views of the grounds, soaking tub, separate shower, and twin vanities. You’ll feel like the king and queen of the castle as you enjoy a glass of wine and soak in all the charm and elegance Brasenhill has to offer.
Stepping into The Steel Room is like stepping into a roaring 20’s speak easy. Your friends can pull up a stool to the 100 year old bar for a drink, play a round of billiards or darts in the game room, or kick back around the fireplace in the luxurious leather couch or chairs to catch the game on one of the 2 flatscreen TVs. Located on the West portion of the basement level, this is a ‘cave’ any man would be envious of.
The Brasenhill Mansion has been home away from home to many families. We even offer a Sonos Sound System, to round out our list of luxury amenities.
Many memories have been created at the Brasenhill…
Now, it’s your turn.
Whether a wedding, family reunion, getaway or other special stay, we look forward to designing a memorable experience for you and your guests. Please feel free to contact us with any questions that can help plan your special vacation or event.

Wonderful house for multi-generation family reunion

Our family of 20, ranging in age from 7 months to 88 years old had a wonderful week at the Brasenhill Mansion. The house was immaculate on arrival, with a kind welcome from the owner, who was exceptionally responsive to questions during the week and who couldn't have been more helpful. There was plenty of space to relax, with a large formal dining room and great kitchen to prepare meals, multiple living room spaces, and a wonderful "man-cave" in the basement with pool and fooz-ball. We were fortunate to have great weather and really enjoyed the beautiful gardens and spacious patio. The house is elegant and charming but very comfortable and modern. It was the perfect location from Hershey and Lancaster with many attractions for kids and grandkids to enjoy. It was the ideal place for our family to gather!

A wonderful 70th birthday and Easter Celebration

I looked for a house to host my extended family for a joint 70th birthday observation and an Easter Celebration. When my children were young (before teenager time), we brought them to Hershey, PA to tour the chocolate factory and visit Hershey Park so we booked the house. The Brasenhill Mansion offered plenty of room for my brother and his wife, my wife and me, my two adult married children, their spouses, the 5 grandchildren ages 1-6, and my single son. The house easily held them all with plenty of room to spread out and to be entertained. We had catered dinners two nights at the house and went out the third to a lovely restaurant less than a mile away. The house held many treasured spaces for the grandkids and the gardens were lovely in the spring and made the perfect space for an Easter Egg Hunt. I can heartily recommend the home for a large family get together. There was a consensus among the group that it should be a do over.

Great for Large Families

The mansion was perfect for our family, 17 adults. It was very clean. Having the professional kitchen was a big plus. Lots of different places for the family to hang out. Loved having a table where we could all eat together. Would rent again.

Exceeded all expectations!

Had my ceremony, reception, and stayed overnight here for my wedding - it was the most beautiful experience! James and Anne were so accommodating and extremely pleasant to work with! They helped us and responded very quickly whenever we needed something or had any questions. The rooms were gorgeous, comfortable, and exceptionally clean. The grounds were well taken care of, the kitchen was immaculate, and it overall was amazing. There was nothing but phenomenal feedback from my family and our guests. We will never forget it! So thankful and lucky to have my wedding held here. What an amazing find. Thank you so much to the fantastic owners!

Awesome House!

We had one of our annual family reunions here. All agreed that this house was the best ever! I can't say enough about the care that the host took before and during our stay. First rental I ever had where the host replied to questions and needs within an hour or two. Great location for Hersheypark and Gettysburg. Shops nearby for everything you may need or have forgotten to being. Also: superior A/C! Plenry of toilet paper, towels, etc. On the last day we still found places in the house we hadn't discovered.

Momcation!

What an amazing property!!! As a group of moms looking to get away, we wanted a relaxing spot with plenty of space and also space to gather for dinners and group entertainment. I can’t say enough good things about this property! It was absolutely perfect - room to spread out and just read a book or hang together for board games and such. The kitchen allowed us the perfect space to cook for our large group. When we arrived, there was a slight issue with one of the heating systems. James had it addressed immediately and it was fixed within the hour! He was extremely attentive! Highly recommend for your weekend getaway, family reunion, small wedding, etc. Thank you again for a wonderful getaway.

Awesome place for a Family/Friends Reunion

This was an amazing property with plenty of space. The backyard was serene and enjoyed every bit of it. The property was clean and all the amenities available. All the essentials were available and we did not have to step out for any of it. James was very friendly and prompt in answering any questions we had and providing all the required details necessary for the stay. We would always love to go back to this property.
