We made an after Christmas trip to Fantasy in Lights for my mother’s Christmas present. We decided to also visit Hills and Dales. It was an excellent experience. The tour of the home was excellent as well as our self guided tour of the gardens. This experience was a definite positive to our after Christmas get away.…

The house is very well preserved with mostly original decor and furnishings..The docents are very well trained and knowledgeable.
