Sisters’ Celebration
We stayed for the weekend at the Westport mansion to celebrate two of our sisters’ big milestone birthdays. The five of us each had our own rooms in this beautiful home. It is surprisingly quiet given the house is just a block off a busy road. The neighborhood was quiet and we were just minutes from pretty much everything in town. The place is so big, with so many beautiful sitting rooms that we joked we should set a timer and move to a different place to hang out every 30 minutes. Some times at large historic homes it is hard to keep things clean and comfy but the Westcott mansion is clean and cozy, with plenty of space to enjoy each others company or curl up with a book in solitude. The kitchen is super with nearly very thing you might need and a great welcome note and bottle of wine. We had so much fun we might start coming every year! Highly recommend.

We LOVED this house!!! It was a perfect place to stay while preparing for the Taylor Swift concert! We had so much fun exploring this beautiful, historic home. Our group had plenty of space and it was so nice to have so many necessities provided for us! Communication was also so quick and kind! We didn’t have time to utilize any of the outdoor spaces but the gazebo looks so beautiful! I 1000% recommend this house!

2024 Eclipse
It was a great place for our group to gather to watch the eclipse, and then visit with each other afterwards. Very historic house with potential to be even more grand if renovations continue. The gazebo is nice. The yard would be even better with a garden or flowering trees. We enjoyed exploring the house. So much room!

Historic place
Big old house with lots of comfortable rooms and updated bathrooms. Rooms charmingly decorated in the period. Well furnished kitchen enabled us to cook meals (although we struggled with the oven a bit). One member of our party said it reminded him of a funeral home, the the other 6 of us loved it

Historical family getaway
This beautiful house had enough bedrooms to fit 11 of us comfortably. All bedrooms are upstairs with 3 full bathrooms. One bathroom has a tub which was used to bathe the 2 year old. There is one half bath on the main floor next to the kitchen. We baked a turkey. in the oven and had plenty of dishes, pans and casserole dishes for a big family dinner we enjoyed in the dining room. Anyone with a disability will struggle with the stairs inside and the steps outside walking to front door. We enjoyed traveling to Columbus, Ohio for shopping and the dining at the Cambridge Tea House.

Wonderful property with much character
Beautiful home in historic Richmond. We were impressed with the preservation of the house which had what appeared to be original woodwork, stained glass and ornate ceilings. The decorated nooks and crannies were a plus! We had a wonderful time catching up and playing games in a delightful atmosphere.

7 sisters celebrating 70 years
The house was built around the turn of the 19th century and it was obvious that over the years it received some hard use. The current owners have put in many hours to bring back the grandeur of of the old mansion. All of the bedrooms had comfortable beds. The kitchen was well stocked but only had one plug in near the refrigerator. The main floor living room had several lamps for light but unfortunately bulbs were not in them. As a group we felt that we gently used the house and left it in good order. We were charged for damage to a luggage rack. After contacting the owner she agreed to drop the matter and not charge us. I am grateful for her willingness to listen and communicate with us. In general we had a wonderful experience in Richmond and would recommend this property to others. Not a good choice if you have small children.

More than i could have expected
The home is immaculate and beautiful. Comfortable and homey the kitchen is stocked with any pan, baking, dishes and utensils you could need. Pictures can not capture the true beauty of this home. Mentions. It is in no way handicap accessible (it does not claim to be) as advertised the only tv is in the gameroom upstairs. Traveling alone that effects my stay more that it would a family. I will stay there again. Thank you ladies

Stunning Property
My large group was amazed at the beauty of this home. As we drove up and then walked through the house, we felt so lucky and excited that we got to stay there. The aesthetic of each room was spot-on and no detail was left undone. The linens felt luxurious and comfortable. The dishware provided was beautiful and plentiful. The gazebo and front porch were delightful for our morning coffee and evening conversation. Everything was truly delightful. We would love to come back regularly to stay. Thank you for allowing us to stay here and create beautiful memories.

Cardinal Greenway biking trip
A FB group of 60+ women stayed at the Wescott for a couple of nights for easy access to the Cardinal Greenway. Everyone loved the house, and enjoyed the spaciousness and number of bedrooms and bathrooms. No one had any complaints about their accommodations. It was extremely hot during our stay and the downstairs area was very comfortable. Upstairs was a bit warmer as heat does tend to rise, but we all slept well. Beds were comfortable and plenty of towels for everyone. My only complaint was the lack of electrical plugs. There again, with older homes modern amenities are always a challenge. Overall a wonderful stay in a beautiful home.

Fun place for a family get-together
We had 3 generations of family members staying together and this place had everything we needed for a comfortable and fun stay. All of the bedroom options and the different hangout areas made for lots of fun! We utilized the outdoor spaces for lawn games, pickleball, bike riding (kids), and gazebo sitting/card playing. We enjoyed games in the evening inside at the kitchen table and in the dining room. The porch was a fun place for the kids to congregate and play games also. The home was very clean and well cared for. The kitchen and bathrooms were well-stocked. The character and charm of the home is so rare and unique. We thought it was a great place for a large group!

Quirky Delightful Stay
We needed a place where our family could all stay over graduation weekend and this property fit the bill. From the huge porch to the front hall with a delightful surprise under the stairs, we were enchanted! The owners clearly took care to make the home a funky and comfortable place. The only drawback was lighting; many of the rooms had minimal lighting. The kitchen was the most difficult to see in after dark. But the owners' welcome bottle of wine was so lovely! I hope many others enjoy the Wescott!

Family from out of town
We just recently stayed at the Wescott Mansion while we had family in town for my sons graduation. What can I say this place was simply stunning, not many gorgeous mansions around anymore like this! We made several wonderful dinners and ate in the beautiful dining room, felt like Queens and Kings! I always wonder if you can heat and cool these old large homes and well we stayed during the week it was in the 90’s so I quickly got to find out and was pleasantly surprised! The house stayed very very cool! All the bedrooms to pick from was so nice for everyone! We especially loved sitting out on the overly large front porch. Had a few small inconvenience pop up and the owner took care of it ASAP! Thanks for sharing this beautiful home with us we hope to return one day!
