Interesting and Fun! - Tour Guide was excellent. He presented the Historical Facts in a very interesting and formative way. I would recommend taking the walking tour during the cooler parts of the day. Possibly bring an umbrella for shade.

Stay was ok minus a few issues - I rate this place a 1 if I just had to rate the property. But the mold made it hard to enjoy. The smell of the mold made me sick to my stomach. There was mold in the restroom by the backdoor near the gardentub and water dripping on me while trying to use the restroom. Bathroom sink wouldn't drain. Dishwasher didn't work. The Bar drawer fell on my foot. No remote for the TV in the master bedroom.
