Reviews
"We love rough point! It is one of the coolest homes we've seen here in Newport and the life story of Doris Duke is truly something to learn about. It has such a cool mix of historical details but also a 90s feel it's so interesting. The flower garden is also so beautiful during the spring and summer! Don't miss it!"
"Definitely worth the trip!free trolly stops right in front of mansion. Docents are extremely helpful. You are allowed to wander at your own pace. Great views of the ocean. Wonderful collection of art works."
"The elephants are totally worth seeing. The art installations are magnificent. Check out the website, and read up on what they are made from and the why's. It really is an amazing experience to see up close. I wish I had read the website before I visited though, as once you realize the material that is used, it will change the way you see the elephants. What you think is ratan, it is not."
"Beautiful grounds. Visited to see the elephant art display. "Elephant ae Beautiful People". Amazing!!! Grounds and gardens are beautiful and very well maintained. Will return!"
