The Royal Grand Turret rooms are considered the most romantic for couples hoping to enjoy their one-on-one time together—the turret peak in Grand Turret is 28 feet high! However, all of our guest rooms offer a comfortable and luxurious space to relax and reconnect. The Grand Turret Room, pictured above, includes an incredible round jacuzzi tub for two with the highest spire ceiling above. It’s an unforgettable setting.
- Depending on your evening plans, first, enjoy your thoughtful welcome tray with fruit and cheese and head out for dinner in Sharon. During your stay, be sure to try our daily afternoon tea and hospitality reception on Fridays and Saturdays only. We always suggest the unique Stonewall’s Tavern at our sister property, Tara – A Country Inn, about ten minutes away in Clark, PA. Located on the lower level of the Inn, the restaurant there offers a romantic atmosphere for date night with rustic hand-hewn beams and beautiful stone walls.
- After a bubble bath in your giant 6-foot round jetted tub and a restful night of sleep, you’ll be treated to a homemade breakfast of your choice in the morning—there are sweet and savory options, as well as add-on mimosas or bloody Marys. You can pick your entrees and beverages the night before and simply place your menu card outside your door. You can opt to enjoy your meal in the elegant and bright dining room or stay in your robe and have your breakfast in your suite (which might be the obvious choice for your romantic getaways in Pennsylvania!)
- As we mentioned above, a trip to the Spa at Buhl Mansion is a must for those heading here with relaxation as their main goal. Our Pevonia International elite spa is located on the lower level of the mansion, and we offer facials, nail care, and a large selection of massage treatments. Then, you can head back to your room to freshen up or relax!
