Very enjoyable tour of the house with a very knowledgeable guide. We enjoyed our stroll through the gardens and the views of the lake. Unfortunately the visitor center was closed due to storm damage.

The gentleman that was our guide (former history teacher) was wonderful & answered any question we had. He truly knows the property. Very much appreciated.
