Minimum StayWe had the BEST time!
My husband and I planned our very simple and small wedding here. We also used this as our hotel for our out of town guests and it was the smartest thing we could have done. Everyone is envious of our idea and it could not have been a more perfect day. Everyone loved the historical elements and references to the famous folks who have stayed there. Our only complaint was that we were unable to find cleaning products, such as brooms and dust rags to help us keep the property clean for the event. We purchased a lot of things such as dish soap, hand soap, hand towels and the like, so that we had proper bathrooms for our guests. The charcoal grill is also more of a smoker than a grill, but we made it work. A propane grill would be an excellent addition to the house! Also, we were charged an "event" fee for extra clean up and the like even though we left the place cleaner than we found it. I did feel that there was some nickle and diming when it came to paying for the house. However, Michael was flexible, and was easy to work with. Many of my wedding guests will be contacting him to hold future parties and/or stays because it really is the perfect place.

We loved our stay!
Perfect place for a group to stay in! We LOVED cooking in the large kitchen, enjoying the scenery, and the beautiful backyard. Mike was a great host and just a text message away. Highly recommended!

Perfect location for event!
We had a wonderful experience at the Penfield mansion for a gathering of 50 or so people. Bar, party room, large kitchen and comfortable living room worked out perfectly. Several fireplaces at the property was very enjoyable. Beautiful views as well! Outdoor space and grounds were very well kept with lighting at night. Pool table, ping pong table, pin ball machines and lots of grass to play kept the kids happy. Michael was so easy to work with and answered all my questions in a short period of time. Highly recommend.

Welcome to the Penfield mansion.
Once the home of Frank Sinatra, Clint Walker and then Roger Miller in the 1970s who raised his whole family here, this house is amazing with exceptional history that can be felt in every room! The hit song, King Of The Road was actually written by Roger Miller at the bar! We strive to provide a comfortable, safe and professional environment. The property sits on the top of a hill, all by itself on over an acre of land with 360-degree views of the whole city and is completely gated and secure. You have total privacy from all angles. There are no neighbors able to see the land or the house. Take a tour and see for yourself! High speed internet and cable TV included free of charge. The house also has a built in JBL sound system for radio, CDs, Ipod, MP3 players etc. Parking for 20 cars on premises.
See pictures for complete details on the house layout. I just completed a brand new driveway, expanded in width to accommodate 2 way traffic all the way up and down the hill, beautiful paver stones in the beginning of the driveway. Tons of additional outdoor lighting, landscaping and design. I expanded the main grass area in the backyard to 5000sqft and replaced the real grass with fake grass as well as built a lookout point for wedding photography. Totally flat and beautiful. The neighborhood is very nice and quiet. The house is at the very end of a culdesac, children can ride bikes in the street, its very safe. There are tons of fabulous restaurants in the area including Roys, Flemings, Ruth Chris, Benihana etc. all within 5 minutes.
All beds have the highest quality Egyptian cotton'Royal Velvet' fabulous down alternative comforters, very high count Egyptian cotton sheets and pillow cases, down alternative pillows and also firmer pillows to suite your taste. Bathroom towels, and large beach towels for the pool are always provided. Ping pong table, mini golf and pinball games on premises.
I recently started offering my guesthouse for rent, which is a separate structure located in the front of the property for an additional $150/night, it's 650sqft, freshly painted, has a Cal King and a temperpedic queen bed, 50in HD TV, private kitchen and bath, dishwasher, AC, bbq and private deck/patio with jacuzzi (upon request). Please email me for pics, as I am only allowed 24 pics on display. Several of my last renters have added it to their bookings and been very happy with it. If you don't decide to rent it, it will just be vacant during your stay. I do not rent the guesthouse separately, it is only offered to whatever guest is renting the main house.
Thank you for your time and consideration!
