Reviews
"Worth seeing. I agree with other reviews that this house doesn't evoke the grandeur that the mansions do. Always thought this was more of a "society house" than a mansion. Tour guide was great. Tours groups are 10 people and the size of the group and the size of the house makes it difficult to navigate. Glad I finally got to see this house."
"Smaller of the Newport homes, and newest property. This was lived in until 1997 and captures that moment in time sharing old family history and a Sony TV. You can really feel how it was to live there! PS You have to get tickets for a time frame... tours limited to 10 ppl."
"Really cool place, but not Newport Mansiony at all. You need to get your tickets in advance, and they are really of no help at all in that department. They kept trying to get us to go to the Breakers to book the tour instead of helping us book the tour there. Said it was easier to go the Breakers. I said, "easier for who?" That seemed to quite them down. Hubby ended up figuring it out without their assistance. The tour guide was ok. She had such an arrogant air about her. Answered everyone's questions, though. There is no gift shop at this location. There is a restroom. Grounds are well maintained."
"Very lovely and the most recent of the mansion tours. Definitely an experience full of recent history and sweet to see"
"Nice place to visit but very basic compared to the other mansions. The guide seemed kind of stuck up and felt as they thought people would take stuff so she kept telling everyone to hurry along and not give us all time to look around."
