    This architectural treasure consistently enchants visitors with its stunning octagonal design and fairy-tale quality. Tour guides like Mary, Kate, Max, Finch, and Alejandro earn particular praise for their knowledge and passion, bringing the house's eccentric history and meticulous restoration to life. The tours aren't rushed, typically lasting an hour with plenty of time for questions, and groups are kept intimate. Beyond the standard tours, visitors rave about seasonal offerings like the Halloween "Myths and Mysteries" experience and theatrical performances that add extra dimension to the visit. The restoration work receives special attention from guests, with many noting the incredible octagonal details throughout and period interiors that feel authentic. Multiple reviewers mention the beautiful gardens and greenhouse, though a few wish they had more time to linger on the grounds after tours conclude. One visitor noted occasional difficulty hearing the guide when groups spread across rooms. Book tickets at least a day ahead for weekends, and consider timing your visit for seasonal decorations if that appeals to you.
