The mansion is gorgeous with an amazing view of the Potomac. The guide at the entrance of the mansion was informative and able to answer all my questions.

Excellent! Highly recommended by me, we spent almost the entire day between the guided and self-guided tours. The re-enactors were very good. The available lunch in the restaurant (not the food court) was also very tasty and reasonably priced. All in all, well worth the visit. We also did the included distillery tour, which was short and about 3 miles from the estate. We still didn’t see everything. Excellent!

Came to visit George Washington’s home with grandma and grandkids. What a great experience to share with both generations. Love the views of the Patomic, but then again, so did Washington.

Well maintained and managed by a private group, there is more to see than just the home. Guides were pleasant and knowledgeable. The house tour isn't long but you see enough to be satisfied and the fee is very low. We also dined at the food court which was shockingly good and not RIP off priced like a lot of places that 'have you' sort of captive on their grounds. Seating is a bit limited during peak lunch. Free maps are provided and you can get an audio guide as well, but we found the signs sufficient. Some sights require walking up hills or stairs. We thought it was a great value overall.

The mansion tour is a must. All the staff were very knowledgeable, engaging, and willing to answer questions. The estate grounds are beautiful! There were several baby sheep that were only hours old, which was a bonus. The walk to the tomb of George Washington was past the house down a gravel walk. Several historic outbuildings. Beautiful views of the Potomac.
