Nice grounds on the waterfront. Very historical. The tour mostly focused on the furniture craft of the time with some tales about the previous owners of the home. Likely a great tour for those who love antiquing. It's a small house relative to the others on the house tours and would be one of the first to be cut from my itinerary.

The house was wonderful, our tour guide (Owen) had a good sense of humor and did a great job with the tour. The furniture was nice, but hard to see due to a lack of lighting. Overall a wonderful tour. I would highly recommend it.

Excellent tour. The history of the house is important but the information concentrates on the furniture and architecture. Check out the water level inside the house when it flooded.... I cannot imagine.

Our guide, Priscilla, was very knowledgeable about the interesting history of Hunter House. The house and it's contents are lovely. I especially liked the progression of chair design through the years on the upper floor and examples of local Newport tiles. Absolutely worth seeing.
