Really enjoyed the property. House was clean and functional. We appreciated the historical elements of the house and the layout - which functioned very well for adult/kid separation with the back staircase. Location was great and we enjoyed the local coffee shop and BBQ restaurant very much. Would happily book this house again.

3 day stay with 4 mothers and 4 HS age girls competing in their summer swim championship meet in Carlisle PA. We typically all stay in the same hotel. This time I suggested we change things up and rent a big house. The Quay House was perfect for us. So clean and modern with all the historic charm you could expect from stone home built in 1835. The owner left us a fantastic basket of Trade Joe's snacks which was unexpected and loved. The girls loved it and the moms did too. I highly recommend this home to any large group.

We had a great vacation at the Quay House. We were in town to attend my brother's graduation from Army War College in Carlisle. The hosts were incredible to work with and made several recommendations to help us with a reception dinner. The house itself is amazing and had everything we needed. Highly recommend!
