This is a beautiful and historic property preserved intact as Mr. Sleeper left it, and he was a very talented and intuitive builder and designer. Most tours are an hour and that is not nearly enough time, but there is a 3 hour "nooks and crannies" tour that is everything you ever wanted to do in a museum. Bring a flashlight and be polite, and careful, but you can open everything, velvet ropes do not apply to you, and there is an ocean view break with refreshments in the middle. I cannot recommend this enough. Amazing!

Wonderful! I took a road trip around New England and had been to the lighthouse next to it but didnt know about the house. After a few days I was in Salem and someone told me about it and told me I had to go back to visit, that I couldnt miss it. And it really was a place that is worth going to. Its amazing, full of history and beauty. If ever youre close to it, dont miss the opportunity to visit it.

Great tour - very interesting house with lots of cool architectural details and collectibles both inside and out. We took the hour tour, which was kind of rushed because there was so much to see and learn. We will be back for the 3 hour "Nooks and Crannies" tour!

About an Hours drive from Boston, There is a Tour every hour for inside of house (buy ticket onsite). Grounds are accessible without ticket. good place to visit especially for architecture buffs. View from Back yard is good.

Tonight we went on the Nooks and Cranny tour, 5pm to 8pm, at Beauport, a Historic New England property. Absolutely enchanting!

Interesting house and tour. Only downside is they make you wear booties over your shoes, which is pretty strange.
