Hello and thank you for visiting with us at the Stetson Mansi on. I am so happy to read just how much you enjoyed your tour and all of us at the mansion appreciate your kind words of support. I think that you may have accidentally given us a "poor" (1 Star ) rating. If you would please adjust your rating we would greatly appreciate it. I am sorry for the inconvenience but your feedback matters and we want to make sure that it is properly rated. Thanks again for your visit!
