Great stay for family trip
The property was so lovely and so enormous. We were 9 people and we did not use all of the space. Christine was very communicative, responsive, and helpful. There is a useful binder filled with all kinds of information about the house. The location is excellent (beautiful area close to many stores and parks, not far from philly) and the pool was lovely. The kitchen/living room area is especially great for large groups. The only drawback is that we found the mattresses a bit uncomfortable and only the primary bedroom has a king bed.

The BEST house we’ve ever stayed in!!
We booked this gorgeous home to use as home base during our wedding weekend and it EXCEEDED expectations. First of all, it’s just beautiful - above and beyond what I expected from the photos. Second, the bedrooms are each so unbelievably cozy and wonderful that it just felt like home. But the living spaces - WOW they’re just set up perfectly for hanging out and relaxing. Christine was so kind to help set us up with caterers, so we hosted our rehearsal dinner at the house and even had brunch the morning of our wedding - truly it was the easiest wedding logistics I’ve ever been a part of because everything was in one spot! We had 12 people staying here and every single person had an amazing time. HIGHLY recommend for any friend/family gathering!

Dreamhouse!!
What a wonderful weekend, truly made that way through the use of the splendid Meadowbrook Estate! The potential for a difficult time existed because of so much rain. However, the expanse and spectacularly decorated house made everything so comfortable to entertain guests and celebrate my daughter's graduation. Christine truly went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and make us feel welcome and at home. She allowed my brother to arrive a bit early to drop off luggage and was so responsive to my request for additional bed linens. Her attentiveness certainly did not go unnoticed. I highly recommend this property to families for out of town gatherings and graduation celebrations for the various colleges and of course weddings. With every bedroom having its own bathroom, everyone felt like they had a luxurious retreat to go to for privacy. However, the house is so large the common areas certainly accommodated everyone with room to spare! This home is truly a gem on the Main Line!

The whole truth
You get what you expect based off the photos and the price. The not so good: There were some issues that came up and actually present at the home upon arrival. Basement had water seeping in carpet which gave a bad smell rendering the space unusable. AC went out in several units which required our parties to group and sleep in the 3 rooms that only had working AC. We endured 2 nights like this. I feel like some effort of concession should have been made to show us that our inconvenience mattered. To top it off on night 6/7 we saw a mouse run through the kitchen and take cover under the sofa. After that most people in my group were terrified to stay another night and we end up leaving a day early. I did let Christine know about this, and I’m sure it happens in such a large and older house. Again no mention of any concession for our troubles and cutting our vacation a day short because of this. What bothered me is Christine once said if the alarm accidentally gets triggered and we (the owners) have to answer the call that we would be charged for it. We are dropping a cool 25k to stay at the home, you shouldn’t speak like this. The good: we had a great time as a family. The house is curated wonderfully. Probably the owner is an architect or interior designer who is well travelled. Location is very nice and safe, you can tell old money lives there lol. House very clean. Pool and grounds are very nice and well kept. 2 hr from Hershey and NYC. Owners seem like good people.

Perfection!
We had such a wonderful time a The Meadowbrook Mansion. It was everything we were hoping it to be. Christine was so helpful from the very start, answering questions and helping us with our reservation adjustments. The home was spotless and had everything we needed. The kitchen was especially gorgeous and so well stocked. We enjoyed creating delicious meals together, relaxing by the pool, playing games and using the pool table in the downstairs area. We loved having coffee on the back patio, listening to soft music on the Sonos system, and seeing the deer walk though the beautiful yard. The rooms were all so cozy with robes, and nice soaps (not the tiny bars you find in most places). The sheets are what you dream about. We all slept like babies!! The decor in this place is stunning and very inspiring. The house is so roomy and perfect for large groups. We were a party of 8 and we never felt like we needed more space, none of us wanted to leave.

The house provides very well for a group and is comfortable. There could have been a path to the pool but family assisted. The gardeners could have worked when we left instead of all Wednesday morning but the grounds are lovely

Beautiful home!
The house was lovely, spacious, beautifully furnished as well as immaculate. The grounds are beautiful as well and offer lots of comfortable outdoor seating areas. Our extended family of 9 people had more than enough room and enjoyed cooking in the wonderful kitchen, eating outside on the patio, as well as swimming in the pool.

Meadow Brook is an amazing home. We had a fantastic stay, the house is large but has a great home feel. We had great weather and took a dip in the pool which was very nice. It is a great find and we look forward to another stay soon. Thank you to the owners and Christine who made everything easy and great!
