Interesting trail Little Harbor Loop is well marked but short. Interesting mix of woods and shoreline. Good family walk.

A beautiful place to visit, especially as the tide is going out. Great history behind the mansion and its original owner, before revolutionary times. Beautiful landscape and views of the bay and its boat traffic. Walking out to the island at low tide is fun, as you find so many shells and abundance of life. Enjoy the walks in the woods and viewpoints amongst them.

Peaceful and away from the downtown area. Walk the trails, fish, or just relax and watch the boats go by.

This is a 40 room mansion built in the 1700s. We didnt tour the inside, but there is a lot of history to be observed on the grounds. At one point the home was owned by a family who brought in an enormous anchor. It has beautiful views of the harbor.

It was magnificent! Tucked away on the side of the river Ive never seen. It looks like Gods summer house. Breathtaking.

This home used to belong to my husbands ancestors. It was surreal to be able to walk the property and we hope to return after the threat of COVID is gone to see the inside.

House tour is cool. Worth the wait. History of colonial NH and Coolidge as an artist is interesting.

I went on a rather hot day, so the tour was limited to where I, nor my guide would collapse in the heat. A wonderful piece of history and my guide was extremely knowledgeable of the history. I will be going back on a cooler day/time to bask in the full experience of the W.C. Mansion.

My daughter recently visited the mansion. She couldnt wait for me to see it. The tour guide my daughter had told some of the colorful history. The tour guide we had kept telling us we had to hurry and was a little rude

Weird old house, definitely worth taking a look around. Odd rooms all over the place. The guides, as quirky as they turned out, did not provide much information about the people who lived there so recommend reading up before.

The mansion itself is sparsely furnished and of mild interest, but the setting is a lovely and peaceful spot to relax and watch boaters and kayakers go by.

I visited the mansion several years ago an I must say that the tour left an impact on me that is still powerful to this day. This is not a typical colonial home, this is a well thought out masterpiece of the 17th and 18th centuries. Not to mention the tour guide did an excellent job which allowed me to see the mansion as if the the Wentworth and the Coolidge families had only moved out a few days prior. The only drawback was that I was not able to see the stables since they were torn down to build the visitors center. Nonetheless, this is one of the greatest New England homes ever built and I strongly urge any aspiring architects or historians to see this architectural marvel.

A pretty little spot with some hiking, but I wasnt terribly impressed.

Review №46

Be warned, when they say it closes at 4pm what they actually mean is sometime after three oclock. The building is awesome, if a bit hard to find, if you dont already know where you are going, and the loose gravel road means your car may pick up a few dings. Just make sure to get there well before closing.
