If you like to walk around estate property with amazing gardens and views this is a must see. Property is spectacular with many different gardens. The details and out buildings are beautiful too. And the house is just as it was in its original state. Amazing art collection and the first house in NOLA to have A/C. It's well worth the 1.5-2 hrs to spend touring it! The docent who gave the tour was great!

Our guide, Sharon, was fantastic! Her knowledge and humor made this house tour so very interesting. We also toured the grounds and were treated to some insights from the facilities manager. Very nice people.

One of the few historic mansions open for tours and worth it! A short Uber ride dropped us past the short drive to the Gate House in front of the home. Breathtaking view of the home up their own oak alley of trees! Wonderful guide who knew more interesting details of this house, history and the family who built it than she could share in our extensive tour of the building. Most rooms are visitable and interesting with their original furnishings. Of course, I want to see EVERYTHING, so the few rooms that are off limits intrigued me enough to go searching for floor plans when I got home to see what I'd missed. Not much, but some interesting rooms seem to be tucked away in there. Our guide told us about the huge attic, basements and tunnels... would SO love to poke around those, though snakes in the tunnels were enough to keep me on the beaten path! Some of the hidden doors are intriguing and not explained, but attention to design detail by the owners and architects is amazing. (Don't miss the dining room bay window and it's notable trick.) Read online about the Katrina hurricane damage the house and grounds experienced. The guide touched on it, but online photos really made me appreciate the extensive landscaping recovery they've done... just beautiful. Christmas decorations were going up when we were there and it special events and tours during the holiday promise to be magical. A special house, volunteers and owners make this a To-Do list must.
