Nice place for a walk. Another wealthy family of the gilded age. Feels nostalgic imagining being Edith writing a book, strolling these gorgeous vast grounds. Came up for a solo ski trip and this place was good to kill some time the day before.

Amazing place to visit in western Mass! The estate was gorgeous to walk through and the scenes were just stunning. Did the self guided tour which was absolutely perfect during COVID times. There was so much history to learn about Edith Wharton and all the people that were in her life. She has such a beautiful home. Every room is filled with such memories. The designs of each room that really gave each room a personality on its own. Would highly recommend anyone visiting western mass to stop by and at least see the beautiful gardens that Edith brought to life many years ago

We enjoyed our visit to The Mount to learn more about Edith Wharton and her dedication to building this beautiful home and gardens. The tour is self guided. Unlike many house tours you are able to see and look at the various rooms without a lot of roped off areas. The gardens are lovely even in their late fall condition. I am sure they are amazing in the spring and summer.

Though the house is closed for the fall and winter, I enjoyed a short stroll between the carriage house and the house. The grounds are open - the woods are beautiful - and the home doesn’t lose any of its grandeur even with dormant flora and fauna. I’d recommend a walk around the grounds even in the winter months.

What a beautiful place to visit! I highly recommend going to The Mount. The grounds are lovely, which are free to roam around, but the inside of the house is worth the money as well. The museum committee has done a great job providing facts and tales about Edith Wharton's life.
