unspoiled historic Craig Farm. The property was recently
described by Sandlapper Magazine as follows; "Kilburnie has been
lovingly restored and is now regarded as both an architectural
jewel and one of the finest B&B’s in the Southeast."

Honeymoon Suite. It is the perfect room for ultimate privacy.
History
Kilburnie built in 1827 in the Federal style. In 1841 the antebellum
home was enlarged and transformed into a formal Greek revival style
mansion. In the late nineteenth century the building was embellished
with Victorian details. Kilburnie was entered into the National
register in 1979 and is the oldest surviving home of Lancaster.
Faced with demolition in 1998, the building was relocated 3˝ miles
to historic Craig Farm and faithfully restored to its 1841 grandeur
by its current owners.
The Andrew Jackson & W.R. Davie rooms
are sought after because of the fireplaces in both bed and bath
rooms. The floors are the original heart pine planks from 1827
Group Meetings/Retreats:
The property is ideal for romantic
wedding ceremonies and receptions. Elements such as the Palladian
wedding pavilion, small lake with fountain, bridal bridge, terrace

original paintings and a 1880's chandelier.
