Very well kept historic site. A must see for LM Montgomery fans. A warning - this site has nothing from the Anne movies if that is what you are looking for. The trail walks were absolutely breathtaking and worth the price of admission. Great value for a little cost. more

No wonder she idealized this farmhouse in here book. It is an absolutely delightful place in a beautiful setting. See at least one of woodland trails and take it in at an easy pace to capture the mood. more

We visited in early October, when the kids were back in school and many of the tourists absent - a wonderful time to visit (no stopping the bus tours though). We found Green Gables just delightful. While the house itself is just an old farmhouse, it has the mystique that Anne brings to it. While, as many other reviewers point... more

Upon arrival, you are shown a short movie introducing L.M.'s life and her link with Green Gables. This is not the GG from the movie, but the farm where LM spent her holidays at her cousins and the place that inspired the Anne books. The museum is composed of a farm barn, a house and two walks that inspired "lover's... more

I really enjoyed the Green Gables park. I love the "Anne" books and seeing the area that inspired L.M.M. to write makes reading the books that much more meaningful. Wear comfortable shoes so you can walk around and see everything. more

I visited Green Gables in October and I think it was a perfect time to visit. There were very few people there, the leaves were all changing and the weather was perfect! It was very easy to fall back into LMM's world and put yourself in her novels with such a scope for the eye as she had. This is... more

For nearly all visitors to the Island, visiting Green Gables is a must-see at least once. We went having read the books and seen all of the Kevin Sullivan movies. I was very pleased at the level of detail the national parks service put into recreating the rooms from the books. It was wonderful to be able to see where... more

Before you go, please realize that this house is not the one in the movie, it is the one lived in by the author which she based the books on. Inspite of my grandparents repeatedly saying "I don't see seven gables!" (a little senile) and my dad repeatedly asking, "Now, where did the Nazi's find Anne? In the attic?" (bad... more

I am a very inexperienced traveler and I suppose a very spoiled brat. I smile because my sister and I just returned from Prince Edward Island. We went so we could soak in The Anne of Green Gables Experience. We booked our own flights and rail. God was with us, because it takes an act of Congress to get through... more
