Summary: We were in the area for our daughter’s wedding. The White Lion Manor was the perfect home base for our family to be together before, during and after the wedding. From the delightful Blueberry Pudding Cake and sugar cookies YUM !!!! and bottle of wine and snacks to greet us to cozy blankets in the theater room all the details made us feel comfortable. There were 12 of us and we had a couple of sleeping areas to spare.. Liza the , host, provided all the amenities that makes your stay effortless.There are plenty of clean thought out spaces… you could have a private nook to relax or where all could hang out or play games in game room/informal den and/or eat in the informal dining area off the kitchen where all could sit and chat or an elegant formal dining room if you prefer… half of the fun was finding which room everyone was in! Every-time I walked thru I found something else that caught my attention. The host was very responsive.. Would definitely recommend staying here whether a big group or small gathering.., .. you will not be disappointed
