Circa 1890. Easily described as a castle with its stonework, gables and palatial turrets, this newly restored mansion offers the ultimate in luxury. Colorful gardens, a courtyard, greenhouse and waterfall grace the gorgeous grounds. Browse through the onsite Winner Art Galleries. Magnificent guest bedrooms and suites feature exquisite antique and reproduction furnishings, hardwood floors, and some rooms include a fireplace and round Jacuzzi for two. Sleep soundly on an ornately carved four-poster, copper and iron, round or metal bed. After breakfast, indulge in a celebration of senses at the Spa at the Buhl Mansion. An assortment of treatments can be scheduled from massage, aromatherapy, tanning, mud wrap, and salt rub to a facial, manicure, pedicure, and make-up application. At Tara, the nearby sister property, swim in the pool and make reservations for dinner at the award-winning Ashley's.

My boyfriend and I needed some time away from our kids and jobs. We planned to go see family near Pittsburgh. In doing an internet search for some things to do around the area, I landed on the website for the Buhl Mansion. I didn't have a clue at the time what a blessing this was. We scheduled one night in the Grand Gables room with a 4 hour spa package and dinner at Tara. When we arrived, we were greeted by an amazing staff that didn't allow us to lift a finger the entire stay. On arrival, we were provided with champagne and a brief tour of this amazing, historical facility. We had lunch there as part of the spa package which was very good! The room was incredible! It was clean, comfortable with beautiful furnishings, a super comfy bed and a huge jacuzzi tub. We were welcomed to our room with a try of fruit, snacks and champagne. The spa was very clean and the staff was professional and friendly. Comfortable transportation was provided from Buhl Mansion over to Tara for dinner. I definitely recommend Tara for a meal while you are here. The food was great, the service was very friendly and the portions were huge. With a stay at the Buhl Mansion, you are provided with a 25% off voucher for dinner at Tara which made the price very reasonable. Turn down service was provided, so when we arrived back to the room after dinner, we were welcomed by another tray with chocolates and other little treats. The next morning you can have breakfast in the dining room or breakfast in bed. We opted for breakfast in bed. Again, the food was excellent, the service impeccable and the presentation was beautiful. I feel like my words are inadequate in describing how wonderful our stay was. It truly was a blessing to have had this experience!
