I wish I could give this beautiful home and property a higher rating. We have looked forward to going here for over 2 years. Today we made it! Pulling into the parking lot at 2:55. With the next tour starting at 3:15. We were soon greater by a screaming Melanie asking what we were doing there. If we wanted to do a tour. I asked her what the property was about and what the tour entailed. She ignored andwering me and walked past me to my husband. She then said "I'll go talk to him because if you're not staying you need to leave so I can lock up and go home early" my husband decided to stay because he knew how much i was looking forward to it, we walked in and I began to pay. She was rushing us the whole time. Just yelling over and over to hurry and it will be $10. I told her I heard her the first time and she was ruining the experience, she was rude. She scoffed and said "Oh yeah, you think so". She should actually be embarrassed at how she acted. We then went on the tour. She didn't acknowledge me at or even look at me. Just gawked over my husband and basically gave him a tour while I followed behind. What a disgrace she is to this facility. I want my money back and an apology. The older man inside was kind but she also yelled and barked orders at him whole he was trying to show us the model before we left with the bossy woman. We left before the tour even started and then people showed up after us when the tour was suppose to start and she made them run to catch up to us and she wasn't going over the history again for them.

Absolutely worth a visit. They have a free one hour guided tour of the house, you only pay for the entrance.
