A Look Into a Beautiful, Black-Owned Mansion

When you arrive at the property, you are greeted by an iron gate entrance. The house is set at the end of a long tree-lined path, giving guests plenty of privacy.

For owner Monique Greenwood, opening The Mansion at Noble Lane was a labor of love. The former Essence editor restored the property in 2011 and created a boutique resort unlike any other.

Talk about curb appeal! Originally built in 1903, The Mansion at Noble Lane is a 25,000 square foot home that sits at the top of a hill. Just two hours from New York City and Philadelphia, it’s a perfect weekend escape.

Every room in the house is bursting with sunlight and beautiful decor. It’s hard not to be happy in a place like this.

When it comes to accommodations, The Mansion at Noble Lane did not miss a single detail. The property has 14 uniquely beautiful guest rooms designed with high-end accessories. Some premium rooms include private balconies to give guests a view of the surrounding property. There are also three private vacation house rentals on the property.

When you really want to get away from it all, take refuge in your room’s relaxing en suite bath.

Don’t worry about the weather outside. You can take a dip all year round in the indoor, heated Olympic-sized swimming pool on the property.

Don’t want to miss your workouts? No problem. The Mansion has a full gym with cardio and strength training machines. They also offer complimentary yoga classes on Saturday mornings.

You can’t have a vacation without good food and drinks, and The Mansion at Noble Lane has plenty of both. Overnight guests can enjoy complimentary breakfast on the property as well as light fare each afternoon. There’s also a fully stocked bar with wine and cocktails available for purchase.

Make sure you make a little time for self-care during your stay. The YouTopia Spa includes seven treatment rooms and offers a variety of services, including massages, facials, manis and pedis.

If you thought the property was only for summer vacations, think again. The surrounding area has plenty of outdoor activities for the fall and winter, including snowshoeing and hiking.

Along with beautiful rooms, the property also has lots of stunning outdoor space – perfect for grilling during the day or making s’mores at night.

On a sunny day, guests can enjoy nature in one of the quiet outdoor spaces.
