Lyndhurst was beautiful, the tour was enjoyable - do go down and check out the stables there. Also, there is an aqueduct (path) that runs through there and it is a really nice stroll thru there - we even saw some interesting places for pics back there such as some sort of stone tower jutting out of the ground.

Looks akin to a French chateau, set in the Hudson River Valley. Really a lovely home, and the tour takes maybe 45 minutes. As Tarrytown is not far from NYC, it offers a nice, and peaceful, excursion out the city. More

A nice place to spend an afternoon, Lyndhurst is the old Jay Gould estate. Beautiful grounds, they do a wonderful Christmas program where each room in the mansion is decorated like a different fairy tale. More

I fell in love the first time I visited Lyndhurst and years later had my wedding there. This is an absolutely beautiful property, rich with history, gorgeous rose garden and spectacular views. They also offer a wonderful holiday tour in December. More

Several rooms throughout the mansion are closed off and decorated in the theme of fairy tales. Over the years I have seen Cinderella, Rumplestitlskin, the Little Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty. Each room contains a tree that is decorated with ornaments pertaining... More
