If you're interested in Washington Irving and his life/literature/history, then the tour is awesome... If you just wanna see a beautiful old house and gorgeous land, then visit and walk around

Carsten Nohrden

Great tour ! Get to go inside and see all of the rooms for a decent price. Tour guide had a wealth of knowledge !

The Ritz-Carlton

A president or two, Charles Dickens, Walt Whitman… Washington Irving had lots of friends and Sunnyside was the perfect place to host them. Check out his study where literary history was written.

It's said that Washington Irving haunts Sunnyside, which is why the estate has a "Legend Celebration." Visit Sunnyside throughout October for ghost stories, live music and spooky fun entertainment.

Legend Days in the fall are terrific. Activities for kids of all ages and the tour is awesome.

This place closes in the winter months so I just walked down the road . Still a beautiful place though. Lot of deers walking by your side

Interesting stories on the tour : Irving would have 7 hour dinners . He expected lively discussion, but no religion or politics.

Lyndhurst Castle is a day trip worth taking, we took the hour tour and our guide (Bob) was so knowledgeable. The castle has been in many movies and had quite the history. - Randy Reynolds
