Guest access
This cherished retreat is my home away from home, lovingly shared so others can experience its warmth and history. Recently renovated, Bittner Manor retains its timeless character and authentic 1840s charm.
Guests have full access to the entire house and nearly two acres of private grounds, including gardens, outdoor seating areas, and the hot tub.
🔔 IMPORTANT:
While guests have full access to the home and surrounding grounds, please note that the basement, workshop, loft, and third garage bay are private areas and not accessible to guests. We kindly ask that all guests respect these private spaces during their stay.
🌿 How Our Pricing Works at Bittner Manor
Bittner Manor is priced as a private estate, not on a per-room or per-person basis.
When the home is reserved, guests enjoy exclusive use of the entire property, including:
A historic manor home that comfortably sleeps up to 16 guests
Nearly 2 acres of private grounds to relax, gather, and celebrate
A fully equipped chef’s kitchen, ideal for group cooking, catered dinners, or private chefs
Spacious common areas designed for connection — not crowded bedrooms
Outdoor spaces for dining, lounging, and enjoying the countryside just minutes from Stratford
When divided across a full group, the cost typically works out to about $117 per person, per night (all-in), which includes cleaning, taxes, and platform service fees.
For many groups, this ends up being less than a hotel stay, while offering far more space, privacy, and the ability to gather together under one roof.
We don’t adjust pricing based on the number of guests because the entire estate is reserved exclusively for your group, and our costs remain the same whether the home hosts a smaller gathering or a full group.
