This is supposedly the best Victorian mansion to tour in the country and I believe it. We had a great tour guide, Charlie, who was most knowledgable about the hosue. The house is gorgeous. I would go back again in a heart beat! A must do if you like to tour houses.

I was visiting Portland for vacation. I saw the house from the road and decided to return on the next day it was open. Because it was past summer season, but during cruise season, the house was crowded and I had to walk the rooms myself. This is actually a better way to see and hear more, as you can... More 

Leaving a cloudy, wet Ogunquit behind, we thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful Victorian mansion in Portland. We did a self tour. The docents were wonderful. Best going early weekdays to find parking.

Went on a Sunday, no tours available, same full price as other days. Only self tours with some docents in some rooms. Nice docents. Didn't agree room to room in the information about the house.

While impressive from the outside, the interior of this attraction is unbelievably incredible with over the top decor throughout. The home has over 90% of its original contents and has been lovingly restored. The guide was extremely knowledgable and fielded questions as well as providing interesting facts of both the home and its owners.

The decor is amazing and will take your breath away when you walk through the front door!. It is also incredible that you are viewing original furnishings in the house.

This house is unbelievable for the time that it was built. Beautiful stained glass windows, sky lights, indoor plumbing, etc. Most everything in the home is original.

There were no tours when we visited but a large number of docents were available to regale you with facts and stories about this unusual house (e.g. the owner from New Orleans was not able to take posession until the Civil War ended) on our self guided tour. The walls , uniquely painted and not wallpapered, are still a work... More
