Very beautiful! We didnt know this place existed. We just saw the tower poking out from the hillside when driving by the mall and we were curious what it was. Its a little hard to find (just use Google maps) but its must see and take pictures if youre visiting Rochester! Gorgeous photo ops.

Such beautiful grounds and gardens open to public outdoor tours. Enjoy a stroll of the grounds, lower grounds require stairs. Incredible tour, with the walk down the lawn!

Beautiful old house in a great setting, wish it was open, could only walk around but will go back after Covid.

Beautiful place to walk around, peaceful and quiet. Took my 1 year old and he loved exploring the gardens! A few scattered benches if you wanted to bring a coffee or a book it would be perfect!

This is a beautiful historic building and grounds that is open to the public. Its nice to just stroll around the yard in the spring and summer and enjoy the many flowers planted there by parks and rec. Renting the building and grounds for private events is a nice option for the public despite its limited capacity.

It was such a beautiful and peaceful place to walk the gardens around the house and even though the house wasnt open that day, my friend and I still took in the beauty of the place. What a wonderful place to either have a picnic lunch or to sit on a bench and read or write. Theres also nice spots for prom/wedding photos too.

Its a beautiful place to visit at inside the city.. big ground and gardening is really good... happy to see again and again.. with kids..

Great place very beautiful and peaceful, grounds were very well maintained and nice quiet place to visit and soak in some fresh air and mother nature, would recommend to visit if you get the chance

Very well maintained gardens and yard area. I bring my Mom to it every time she visits

Pretty cool place if youre in the area cant walk to far into it sadly

A truely beautiful, historic place! My niece got married there and the grounds and area were just perfect!

Great place to enjoy the outdoors and relax. Glad the city of Rochester takes this pandemic seriously and made us feel.VERY SAFE.

What a Beautiful and peaceful place

Love love love this place!! It’s a beautiful place for a walk. The grounds are open to the public but the house is only open for reserved events.

Beautiful property. It is available for weddings and receptions. It is just outside of the line of town and the edge of the property is by all of the big stores.

The grounds are open to the public and that is why we had full access to doing great photoshoot. I wish we could have gone inside though. Maybe next time?

Nice and peaceful grounds to walk around and enjoy.

Beautiful hill top setting.

Cool house to see if you are around

Beautiful, peaceful grounds for rest and relaxation.

Love the Rapunzel tower!

They have a restaurant im told, i just walked the grounds right after they closed, but people go here for wedding pictures, they have 2 fountains and more flowers than you can shake a stick at. Some old grounds, pretty cool, lots of steps, steps of stone, its all the way at the top up a big ole hill. I thought it was a groovy place, and i would still like to try the restaurant.

The gardens are so beautiful and the nutcracker tea party was fun to do with my daughter!

Beautiful grounds. Very peaceful.

Beautiful home and gardens. It is only open for tours on Wednesdays during the Summer, but the grounds are open year round and are beautiful in their own right.

I honestly would visit in the summer when t there would be flowers but also it looks like it could fall down and l can tell the staff do not take care of the building other then that its a nice place, awesome views and of l were you bring a camera

Got married here and still love to come back to visit the gardens.

This place is absolutely beautiful! The day we visited there was a wedding party taking pictures and it was gorgeous!!!! I highly recommend this if you are ever in the area or passing through. The home and gardens are well worth the stop!!

Wonderfull place for smaller wedding.

Beautiful place!

Pretty amazing place with lots of history

Beautiful house with lots of space and grounds to tour.

Beautiful, an awesome place to be. Great photo ops everywhere with some history all around you:)

Great place for a stroll. Fantastic views from the city and a favorite place for photographers

It is a beautiful place to walk around. The actual building is reserved for groups only. Definately worth visiting when the flowers are in bloom.

Took some beautiful pregnancy photos here. Absolutely beautiful grounds! Major props to the caretaker.

Beautiful historic home! A great public asset.

The grounds are very well maintained. They are open to the public. Sometimes the house is rented for weddings or events so thats a nice venue option if youre looking for one. Aroma of pine trees when walking around. Historic looking house. Just beautiful.

Beautiful location for an outside wedding if the weather is nice. Lots of places for great photos.

I didnt have any money to go inside but the two employees up front were sweet ladies. Love them, wish them the best in life.

Fantastic venue to rent out for an event, truly spectacular.

Love the flowers. Thank you for al the hard work!

Beautiful sights, well taken care of. Big attraction for photography. Amazing Southwest Rochester view from the tower. I would recommend to anyone

Very pretty to walk around in.

Came for the ghosts stayed for the natural splendor. Strongest hasta game in southern Minnesota. The retaining walls are not to be missed. The iridescent blue water calls memories of a simpler time. Pine scent adequate.

Tranquil and Serene. Lovely setting.

Very nice buildings and grounds. I enjoyed my visit there very much. It was well worth the trip yhere.

Very beautiful estate. Love the gardens

From what I saw this place ROCKS!!

A beautiful place to walk with a friend or sit alone to relax in a beautiful quiet spot anytime. The grounds are gorgeous and free to roam. My sister rented the main floor inside for her wedding reception and it was so quaint and beautiful. Perfect 1800s feel for her tea and cake reception.My brother rented the ballroom floor years ago when it was rentable to ask his wife to marry him. He said it was something like the ballroom in Sound of Music.

Beautiful house with amazing history

Beautiful this time of year. (July)

Not open but absolutely worth it just for the gardens. So beautiful.

This place was really beautiful.Absolutely gorgeous architecture and a wonderful property surrounding. The views are great and this is really a hidden treasure with an interesting history.

Beautiful English Tudor mansion with impressive gardens and groves. The input of Dr. Plummer is so evident throughout the interior and if youre interested in Architectural history and Minnesotas famous Ellerby Company, this is a must see in addition to downtowns Plummer Building on the Mayo Clinic campus.

Really neat historical site in Rochester. A lot of people use this place for taking pictures.

Great place for an outdoor wedding

Great venue for small weddings. Inexpensive for what you get. Beautiful building.

The gardens are beautiful and the house is a sight to see from the out side unable to see the inside wrong day still worth the stop

Never knew this was here.

Amazing exteriors to take pictures.

Great spot for pictures

Lots of fun stuff to see in the basement and upstairs

Beautiful venue for a wedding

This was amazing even showed us a movie beautiful. I want to go again. Highly recommended️

So beautiful! Got married here it was stunning.

Beautifully peaceful garden retreat... with good phone reception! Great place to relax for a while when near the Mayo Clinic. The house is only open on Weds afternoons, but access to the gardens is all day, every day.

The architecture was amazing the landscaping was beautiful. It was almost out of a fairy tail. Perfect for a off line picnic date.

Beautiful place to visit and enjoy a leisurely, scenic stroll.

Very nice gardens and huge house more like a mansion. Take your girl here shell like it ;)

EXCELLENT

You can only drive up to the house; no tours available. But nice to see the house of the architect of the Mayo buildings.

Could use some time-period renovations. Many rooms have significant wear or damage.

We were outside only. Beautiful walking grounds with destination lookouts, water fountains & gardens.

Very Easy To Vist And Nice House

Amazing Mayo Clinic history and architecture

I had my senior pictures taken here and the grounds around the house are beautiful and perfect for senior pictures, wedding pictures, engagement pictures you name it.

Great vacation destination, stumbled upon it and we were happy we did

Delightful location. Great for small, intimate events.
