Highly recommend!! We took our son here for a Saturday night tour. Everyone there really made sure he had a great experience. Going in the cellar is a must. One of a kind adventure. Ticket price is very reasonable and worth it, we will definitely be back!

It was a dream come true to FINALLY be inside the home I've dreamed of being in since I was a child. The owners are working SO HARD to restore it to it's once magnificent beauty and I CANNOT WAIT to see it again when they finally finish!

We enjoyed our trip to the mansion. We were greeted with hospitality and our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history. This is a must see attraction.

It saddens me every time I drive by this place. It’s an amazing house not to mention the history and haunting. Unfortunately it continues to fall further and further in to disrepair. The trees surrounding the property are overgrown in some places. Dead in others. I have worked in and around the construction and remodeling industry for 22 years. I know how much work and materials cost. The current owners don’t have the resources to properly restore this house. One thing that doesn’t cost money is to simply clean the property up but the opposite seems to be happening there. Sadly it is approaching the point of beyond saving and will probably be condemned and knocked down shortly thereafter.

The open hours are not indicating that the Mansion doors are open. Since it is privately owned the listed hours are the recommended hours for visiting. You may take pictures but unless the owner is available you won't be able to go inside.

Such a cool place! We stopped by to admire from a distance and were told by the grandson of the owners we could walk around. You can really feel the history of this place and tell they are doing a lot to restore it to its prime. Hopefully one day they can get it restored enough so we can pay for a tour but until then, respect the property. Check out their website, you can help donate towards the restoration and schedule group tours of the outside.

This house is amazing or at least the foyer, parlor and cellar which we were allowed to see are amazing. A Ghost you say? Well I didn't see one but I'd sure like to return and see it all.
