Rob H. • December 4, 2011A great place on many levels: awesome tennis facilities, a great museum and good lunch spot (sit outside and watch tennis on the main grass court!)

Mat • April 9, 2012Wonderful store aand a great museum of the city's early history!

Jessica B. • May 8, 2016The staff is so friendly and informative. We had a blast. Our 7 year old was engaged and excited as were we. Good for all ages!

Foodie P. • January 20, 2013The art collection is modest but well-displayed; the house itself is worth the visit!

Kevin W. • July 27, 2014This is my favorite of the smaller houses you can tour. It's the first real "Summer Cottage" in Newport.

Cultural Studios • September 14, 2012Richard Upjohn designed Kingscote for George Noble Jones. Don't miss Stanford White's mahogany dining room with Tiffany glass.

Robert F. • June 25, 2019110% worth it. I’m not a big “let’s walk through someone’s house” person, but this was great!

Kate C. • March 3, 2012Amazing restoration project. Worth a check - don't miss the piano and chairs

Grace F. • June 22, 2017Amazing collection..not the most famous but it's so hard to see these originals.

Jay E. • October 12, 2015Great stop in Newport. Self guided tour is easy to keep your own pace and learn as much or as little as you'd like. Cool seeing how the rich lived in the Gilded Age.

Christina • December 31, 2016Absolutely stunning! The Christmas decorations made it that much more enjoyable!

Andrew L. • September 29, 2012Good photo opportunity by the pier.

Tim S. • June 15, 2023Nice car, but very few of them. The place is small. We toured it in about 30 minutes. The docents practically harangue you!
