Great patio and view. House is very small and no descriptions… interesting fellow but read up ahead of time to understand anything. The village of log homes is very interesting and there are lots of animals and ‘learning moments’ for kids. Get a sheet of discount coupons from the Huntsville visitor center to get 20% off of the entry fee. Go see the Weeden house for a historic home tour.

We found this by accident when googling what was around locally, and wow it was amazing!
The mansion is stunning but what makes this place are the volunteers. We came across 3 of them dressed up in one of the old houses today and they were amazing full of info.
The view over Huntsville is incredible

WOW!! What a great evening of live jazz music with a view. As tourist my wife and I were looking for a place to watch the sunset and this was the place according to the travel advisory site. They were having the private event with In the Mood band and just for asking what was going on and being friendly with the most southern hospitality possible the hostesses gave us two complimentary tickets and made our stay in your community fantastic. Huntsville’s In the Mood was great. I happen to be a trumpet in the T-Town Jazz band in Tulsa and appreciate the evening!! Great job Huntsville Burritt on the Mountain!! ✌🏼

We were unimpressed by Burritt. Seems that most of the emphasis is on the Gift Shop and the Bar/Restaurant/Event Venue aspect, not the home. I expect they put a LOT of tour buses thru here.
The mid sized house is in an X plan to maximize air flow. It has some original furnishings. One of the 4 wings is completely redone as the catering kitchen and other areas are administrative. When we visited the 2nd storey was closed.
There is also a "historic village" with many representative houses and businesses from 1800's Alabama along with several informative docents to provide context.

My husband and I came here December 10th and had a awesome time. This was by far the best attraction we saw while visiting Huntsville. I loved the history and the docents where amazing. We walked around with one of the docents, I believe his name is Paul, and he really made our visit special. We also walked around with Nancy who explained a lot of information in detail. I highly recommend coming here.

I enjoyed the visit to the mansion house and the other buildings at this attraction. The view of Huntsville from the overlook alone is worth the trip up the mountain! The staff were helpful and responsive. The house was more of a self-tour (no guided tour), so be ready to read if you want to learn more about the house. I visited during a festival during off hours, so not all of the buildings were open. I went on one of the trails for a short distance (did not have much time to hike). The trail was steep, but it was a good one to do.

A great find for a quick day activity on a Saturday afternoon. A great view of Hunstvillle and interesting history. The house was quite nice and kept well in Historic condition. The self guided tour through suffrage history was quite informative. Looking at all the original historic homes relocated from all over Alabama gave a new perspective on how families lived in the 1800s. A must see activity when in Huntsville.

3/27/3024. The day was perfect to see the overview of Huntsville. What made the day wonderful was the volunteers and tour guide. Met Paul who is a tour guide and Nancy a volunteer who made the day so fun and informational. Each pointed out items and uses which I wouldn’t have noticed myself and facts about the animals. Talking with Paul and Nancy, truly made my visit awesome and I feel blessed. I will never forget this incredible experience thanks to them.

Neat place to go and see a time gone by. Lots of old time buildings and people dressed for that period. The main house had a lot of history and the views from the overlook were amazing.
