No matter these difficult times, the Stetson Mansion still adapts to change very successfully. Small groups, common sense and Joanne the knowledgeable but fun tour guide keep things interesting but safer. Don’t hesitate.

The Stetson Mansion is a beautiful masterpiece of architecture. Our Grand tour guide was Joann who was not only knowledgeable and animated but made the tour exciting. We loved everything about the home but we especially enjoyed the intricate Parquet floors that are like none we have ever seen. The wall of doors with the original glass from the 1700's was another favorite. If coming to Florida for a vacation or if you live in Florida and want a wonderful day trip this mansion is a must see. The owners, Michael and JT have done a magnificent job in restoring and adding period pieces to make this truly a grand home. I bought each of their books in the gift shop and am anxious to read about this mansion from two different perspectives. "Hat's off" to the two of you for opening up your beautiful home for all to see.…

We really enjoyed our afternoon tour with Joann who is an animated and dedicated docent. The mansion is privately owned which came as a surprise ... loved the attention to detail and high level restorations. We liked this better than the Biltmore in Ashville. Got a lot of inspiration from the bathroom designs!…

Taking the Grand Tour. We had previously done the Christmas Tour, which was awesome but I had been wanting to go back and see more of the mansion. It did not disappoint. Our guide was Joann and she did a great job, knew so much of the history of the mansion. She was very warm and friendly. I plan to go back again, because there is so much to see, I couldn't take everything in. One of the most beautiful mansions I have seen. The owners did a great restoration!…

Words can not describe the beauty this home has turned out to be! The history of John Stetson from 1886 is incredible for the times, he had quite the gem come out of the ground. The parquet floors are indescribable from room to room. Joanne our guide just brought the history past and present to life, she was wonderful! The current owners T.J. and Michael have done a painstaking wondrous job of restoring and reimagining the home. What they have done is inspiring! I can not pick out a favorite room, I just love the whole home! When you come to Florida this is a must! A incredible part of history and a lot of love put in since. I heard this is the place to be for the Christmas Holidays, a marvel. The pictures are truly gorgeous. …
