The people who seem disappointed are those who have never read the books - MAYBE watched the movies at most. No, this is not the house from the movie, it is the real thing! It was not built as a "tourist trap" as some on this site have claimed, but in the 1830s. This house was owned by the MacNeills,... More

I'll start by saying I'm not an Anne expert by any stretch, but when in PEI on a beautiful, sunny, warm day in April, this is a charming destination. Most of the venue was closed on the day we were there, but the house was open. For $3 and change, we could view the place. Now the guides tell you... More

It certainly was not what I was expecting, not at all like the place in the movie but it was a really nice experience. More

Reading through a lot of the previous reviews, most people seem disappointed with the Green Gables home. I for one enjoyed visiting there very much. Firstly, if you aren't an 'Anne' fan, then this probably isn't the place for you. The home has been furnished inside as though Anne were a real person, with Anne's room, Marilla's room etc. Each...

It was my life long dream to visit pei due to lmm's books. I was very appreciative of the opportunity to walk on the grounds where lmm lived and shared her love of life and wonder of the world and mother nature. Sadly when we visited pei many attractions were closed so we were limited to very few "Anne" things.... More

If you are a fan of the books and tv series then I suppose this might thrill you, however, I am not. I went for the trails on the property. Paid my money which was hefty considering all the trails were closed for public safety. Walked into the house which was lovely and old just like many I have seen... More

Since so much of this isn't the "original", I'm not sure the entry price is worth it. If you're a LMM fan, you'll probably like much of the exhibits and surroundings. Her original house is gone, though the land owners seem to be maintaining the surrounding like the period. I just kept getting the feeling that someone was really after... More

First if you are not a fan of L.M.Montgomery this is probably not the site for you. For fans of the author it is a chance to get a glimpse into the life, surroundings and scenery that inspired so many of Montgomery's stories. I liked this site, it wasn't over done or corny. For the price of the ticket you... More
