    Great property for our scientific gathering. Kitchen was very well appointed for our together cooking, and dining room with piano was great for eating and musical performances late into the evening.

    The Pickford House was great for our large family get together. There were enough rooms for everyone and plenty of space to spread out. The large bar/family room was fantastic. We loved the 4 large tables on wheels that could be configured however we needed. The large kitchen and coffee maker worked great. We loved having a private bathroom for each room but, unfortunately, the plumbing was problematic - very low water pressure and it took several minutes to get warm water. And none of the bathtub/showers worked for our elderly parents. They were small and extremely difficult to get in and out of. The heaters in a few of the rooms did not work. The downstairs heater cycled on and off all night making a lot of noise.

    We organize large groups trips with friends and families a lot. This was definitely a unique and different experience in a good way. The house is great. I was worried it'd have a funky old smell, since it's very historical, but IT DIDN'T. It's kept very clean and fresh. The requirement of no noise outside didn't bother us, as we didn't do much outside; but we did get a noise complaint when a couple of guests gut too emotional during a political argument, when having a smock on the parking lot (we're Ukrainians, emotions fly high right now). But it's on us, we understand that it''s tough on the neighbors. So, know your group - will it work for you? One thing I need to mention, is that, while understandably, not all guest-rooms are equal, 8 of them were comparable, but one (Charlie Chaplin) was obviously a maid's room in past life, located downstairs by the kitchen. Plan carefully who you put in there :)

    We stayed at the Pickford House for my husband's 60th birthday. The house was perfect for 20 guests. Clean, comfortable, quiet. Lots of room to spread out. The bar was great for entertaining. Great location with a short walk to downtown Cambria. Kitchen was spacious and well-appointed. I recommend adding a second dishwasher and another oven rack (it only has 1) to accommodate large groups. But otherwise everything was great!

    Our family really enjoyed our time at Pickford House. We had 12 family members and 6 dogs there during a rainy week, so we stayed inside most of the time. The land opposite was perfect for a quick potty break, and the walk around the neighborhood was just right for our pups. We LOVED being able to team up to cook in the big kitchen, and cleanup was easy with everyone fitting in the kitchen and dining area. The adjacent room was perfect for opening Christmas presents, and the main dining space was the place to gather for crafts, meals, and lots of hilarious games! It was warm and cozy, and the bar was perfect for our beverages and cookies! The cash register was a hoot! We all tested negative on the Binax quick test when we arrived, and it was such a joy to finally be together again after 2 years. I highly recommend this stay for families.

    The house is good and accommodated our 6 families. everyone got their nice space. Karaoke is good , though a newer tv with apps could be better. The wifi signal was also good in the sense it accommodated so many people online and few working, though sometimes it was tested to the limit. Overall a comfortable and pleasant stay and will definitely consider with a big group.

    Large kitchen and large sized pots / pans made it easy to prepare meals for 15. House / rooms - clean and had necessities as advertised. Host replied to my messages very quickly prior to arriving and gaining access to the house was very easy. The advertisement does explain that there is to be no outside noise after 9 pm. This was understood, but what actually happened was that the neighbor approached us the second we arrived and parked our cars. He told us that we were not to make any noise or be outside after 9 pm, which we said was no problem. Unfortunately, we wanted to play a game of Corn Hole outside next to the cars in parking area in the early evening. We started the game and after only 2 turns, at 7:55 pm, the neighbor came out and told us that we cannot be outside any longer due to people trying to sleep. I explained that it was only 7:55 pm and that we would finish the game before 9 pm, but he would not leave us alone. This is unfortunate, but I would not return to the property due to the neighbor .....but if you are going to be quiet and not be outside..... then this is a good option for large groups. We loved the quirkiness of the interior decor and the history of the home.

    My wife's 30th birthday was a blast in this location! This place was so much better than we expected for our 1920s themed party. It has an Industrial style kitchen, full bar, diningroom, reception desk and so much space! Marci was really helpful by allowing us more time on checkin and checkout, that gave us some more time to clean up the place the best we could after all the feathers everywhere ;) I was worried about the noise but we kept doors and windows closed and got no noise complaints, yay! Thanks for having us, I think we might come back soon!

    We stayed at The Pickford House for New YEars Weekend. We travel a lot as a group and by far this house was one of the most comfortable and convenient houses we have ever stayed. The house offers almost everything for all ages. Kitchen is heaven if your group like to cook. Downstairs is perfect location to gather and upstairs remains quite and everyone can have their privacy. Marci was on top of everything and made sure we have a comfortable stay and was at reach at all time. We already planning our next family reunion here.
