My daughter and I spent the night with the Duxburys in Carlisle for a central Pennsylvania whirlwind college tour trip. Spacious rooms, luxurious accommodations and a lovely hostess and "witty" host. Charming town.

Like may Carlisle House guests, we (retirees) are return clients. The House is well situated to enjoy the charms of Carlisle and its excellent restaurants with brief walk. The home is being constantly upgraded. I particularly enjoyed the power shower in the Rose Room suite. Mary and Alan are wonderful hosts who make every effort to make one really feel "at home."

Once again I experienced a great weekend at the Carlisle House! Mary and Alan are fabulous hosts. On this visit I had a suite with three other friends...great accommodations and a scrumptious breakfast. While in town, be sure to dine at the Green Room.
