A large, very well maintained historic Victorian mansion that has many different themed and size rooms, a friendly staff, and an excellent complementary breakfast. The Conservatory (all glass ceiling! Amazing in the rain!!) and Library rooms are particular highlights, as well as the separate private carriage house. If you are visiting in or around Bethlehem, it's a must stay!

Just stayed the weekend at the Sayre mansion and as usual five stars. Love the area and the staff at the sayre is awesome. Breakfast provided this past Sunday prepared by Mary was excellent. I’m a big eater and asked to order two items and there was absolutely no problem. Service was outstanding!!! Can’t say enough good things about our stay and look forward to returning ASAP!

My husband and I are musicians and are interested in the paranormal. We stayed in room 23, reportedly the most haunted room. We did some evp sessions and twice when I mentioned Francis, I received a response. The story is longer than that but we had a successful experience. We would love to stay again! Breakfast was pretty ok too
