The Manor on Front

My husband and I stayed at the Manor on Front for a romantic 1-night getaway and we really enjoyed it! It’s located right on the riverfront- there’s a paved walking trail along the river. The hosts greeted us as soon as we parked and took us to tour the two properties/homes that make up the Manor. The room was clean, bed was comfortable and everything was impressively thought out (the swivel on the TV stand was a great touch which allowed us to watch a movie comfortably from bed). We were able to run important downtown errands; takeout and wine, all under 30 min! Breakfast the following day was delicious. We were instructed to select our choice of breakfast on a form and submit it in a designated basket the night before. Breakfast is at a large dining table joined with other guests. There’s also plenty of parking right outside the Manor. We would definitely return!

We enjoyed everything about our stay. We will be back.

It was a unique experience that offered peace and tranquility.

Enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

This place is very high end. Excellent turnings and cleanliness . Service was perfect. I’d stay there anytime.

Wanted to stay close to downtown Harrisburg and near old historical areas. The Manor was in a great location with private parking, great breakfast, quiet, and private. I was looking for something different from chain hotels and was thrilled with the unique atmosphere, setting, and reasonable price.

My wife and I stayed at the Manor on Front in Harrisburg on a Friday and Saturday night. Why? Harrisburg was the halfway point between Cape Cod, which was the first leg of our vacation, and our home. All we wanted was a place to split up the trip reduce driving time in a single day. We found the Manor on **********. It looked good and so we took a chance. I am sure glad we did. We were traveling with our bicycles. The area and neighborhood are very nice and appear safe. Nonetheless, the owners allowed us to store our bikes in the garage for our piece of mind. There is a bike trail directly across the street from the property and we rode for ten miles from there without ever hitting a main road. It was a blast. The room itself was spacious with a huge chair and ottoman. The bed was comfortable. Water was hot with good pressure. There was a common fridge down the hall where we could store some wine. There were chairs on the front lawn, which we used to watch two incredible sunsets across the river. Bars and restaurants are a short drive/uber or a medium walk (Less than 2 miles). The breakfast was delicious. I can’t say enough about this place. It was incredible. The property has small event room/venue. It seats about 60 people and on Saturday night there was a beautiful concert by a lady named Muriel Anderson. She sang and played the guitar and harp guitar. The hosts invited us to the event, which was sold out, but I believe they kept a few seats in reserve for guests staying at the BnB. We jumped at the offer and loved it. That concert, the warmth and kindness of our hosts, and the friendliness of all those we met in Harrisburg were the highlights of our vacation. We will will definitely be back to Harrisburg and when we do we would never dream of staying anywhere other than Manor on Front.

We stopped in Harrisburg slightly by chance, but are so glad we did. The Manor on the Front is beautiful and really comfortable. The owners are so friendly and helped us get to know Harrisburg and recommended great places to go. I love the shared breakfast table: we got talking to such interesting people, which really made our stay. Breakfast was delicious and the owners were so helpful about our needing to slightly alter our check out arrangements. Sitting out on the lawn watching the fireflies dancing on the grass by the fantastic Susquehanna River is something I will not forget!

There has indeed been many changes, not for the better, from the new ownership. We used to call it our "home away from home" but no more. Comments made to us and those I've read in reviews points to new ownership not really interested in running the place as a luxury B & B. In fact, on our first visit after the change of ownership, the new owners ACTUALLY said to us that the old owners lost money on the place so they were making changes to that effect. Where to begin........... On our last stay, at least the 4th since new ownership, we added up all the inconveniences and personal slights. Just from the last stay: upon arrival, perhaps 2pm instead of the 3pm check in time, our keys were not in the foyer. After a 7 hour drive to get there, we were told to come back at 3 becuase they would have to charge us $25 to check in early !! After a bit of a hum and haw, the keys magically appeared and the room was indeed ready. The heat for the whole upstairs rooms wouldn't reach our room "it's on the end of the system" so we were provided with a space heater. The breakfast on our first morning was on par with a breakfast bar at a Motel 6 - the next day we wrote "no breakfast" on our order menu and went to a local bakery for breakfast and coffee. The small snacks that used to be available for hungry travelers are gone - not one package of anything in either building. Needless to say, it's not our "home away from home" anymore................
