Brian Manor - Lebanon, Ohio

My friends and I rented two rooms for the Ohio renaissance fair 20 minutes away. It was ABSOLUTELY great.

We all have weird allergies and they were so great with the breakfast options. They also let us leave after the renfair on Sunday (so around 7pm) which was ABSOLUTELY AWESOME of them.

The building itself is AMAZING and they Jen and Chris are both a delight. It was so nice staying close. The land is lovely and the castle made the perfect back drop for our pictures!!

We (4 girlfriends) stayed in Brian Manor castle the first weekend in October. Hospitality was abundant from the moment we arrived! The rooms were beautiful and fit exactly what we wanted. Our hosts (Chris and Jan) were attentive to every detail. We were given a tour of the grounds by golf cart - the vineyard, acreage of timber, the castle and its history, the pond, the many fuits and vegetables growing on the property, and more! After the tour of the land we were able to go up in the turrets and walk the walls of the castle. Just amazing! Chris built a fire in the fireplace which made sitting outside in the courtyard very cozy. Later we heard piano (keyboard) music and went to investigate. Chris was playing and continued to play several songs for us. The art throughout the property is beautiful and most are paintings done by Jan and Chris. Breakfast in the morning was a delicious soufle' with homemade berry sauce from berries on the property. We will definitely be back! We each have family and friends we want to invite to go! Thank you Jan and Chris for a very welcoming, homey, atmosphere!

What a fantastic place! Words fail to describe the beauty and serenity of this amazing property. As beautiful as the property is the real treat here is the hospitality of the hosts Jan and Chris. They are friendly, accommodating and spiritually wonderful people. When we arrived Chris took us on a tour of the property and dazzled us with all he and Jan have accomplished since they purchased the property in 1981. Our suite was beautiful and this is easily the best value for an overnight stay I have ever experienced. Cant praise it highly enough. We will definitely be coming back!

So my husband and I got married during covid and we had yet won a honeymoon. We were going to the Ohio Renaissance faire for 2 days and thought we would spend a couple nights somewhere you need to make it our honeymoon.

We explain to the owners that we couldn't have the large reception we wanted for our wedding due to COVID and concerns about having immune compromise people in our family. So we explained this was our first chance to go out in public and go to the rent fair and to stay with them in their home at Brian Manor as our honeymoon. Play absolutely acted like they were honestly honored to have us there and The tour from on the golf cart explaining how the woods were put in the area and the vineyard. Then there was a full explanation of how a castle was built and how the expansions occurred. I'm historian and an artist and my husband and I absolutely delighted by the way we were treated.

This place is such a safe phase in amazing the owners. They went so far other way to make it special for us and it was enchanting to wake up to the piano music and around 11:00 a.m. each morning and the breakfast was to die for at Brian Manor. The say the least the wife is absolutely magical and puts out the best possible energy. I have never met two people so positive in my life but realistic and we actually added an extra night on because we were enjoying ourselves so much. We really call this our honeymoon and we felt it was amazing.

I have a state in bed and breakfasts in Europe in real castles as some people would call it with full bed and breakfast service and I have to tell you that this point spot because of its owners and the care and the magic they create for each of their visitors is so worth a visit.

I dressed up for the Ren faire and they both seem to really enjoy seeing me outside in my full regala each day. I felt bad for them vacuuming up all the fairy dust in the room but they truly were magical people. They're open and transparent and there are artistic and they're so loving.

My husband and I so much hair how much would love to come back here again because it just filled my spirit as well as my husband.

Chris and Jan are incredible! The property is, as is evident from the photos, unbelievable(seriously, look up photos and you will be hooked). However, the hosts are the star attraction here. Their passion,knowledge and information about what they have done and are doing at the property blew us away. We talked like old friends, and Jan's breakfast was the tastiest one we've ever had at a b and b, and we have been to a few. If we could give it more stars, we would.

I happened upon Brian Manor while looking for a room near a family member's home. What I found was a quiet and serene spot for retreat from the spirit killing busyness of our daily lives. The owners are artists but not just on canvas; the grounds are amazing and unique. Take a look at their web site because words fail me. Perhaps the best breakfast ever showed an artist's touch as well.

This place was so enchanting. Chris and Jan were so hospitable. The breakfast was the best I’ve had at a b&b. They showed us around the grounds on the gulf cart and we also explored on our own. We didn’t want to leave. 😩 I definitely recommend.
