The home (Mansion) is well preserved and appointed. Enjoyed the tour and seeing all the period pieces. Woodwork in the home is amazing. Worth the walk up the hill to see it.

The tour is worth it! Wish I could remember our tour guide’s name but she was wonderful. I can only imagine the view from here during the fall months are gorgeous. The tour is entertaining both for adults and children.

Beautiful place, a glimpse of historical luxury. In our guided tour, we got in with a very large group, so tour felt a bit crowded and rushed. Staff was knowledgeable but could be friendlier.

Our guide, Eva, had the perfect personality for this job. She did a great job sharing with us the lives and history of the Packer family and their elegant home. Only reason for the 4-stars vs. 5 is because the 3rd floor was being renovated when we visited and was temporarily unavailable to view. Even so, the tour was most enjoyable.
