Agreed. The grounds are lovely. I shot my entry for the last TOPE there.

Hmmm, looks like I didn't post any other images yet. It'll have to wait, as we
are packing for our flight to Boston
tomorrow.
We went on the house tour a couple of years ago. As we waited, I argued a
little with the docents about the no
photography rule, pointing out the many other houses and museums that allow it.
As it turns out, it didn't really
matter. It's a nice enough house, really, but not all that impressive; it was
only their summer house. All the
furnishings were sold long ago, and the interior is rather barren, but for a
couple of bedrooms.
It's just not in the same league as great houses like Biltmore in Asheville,
San Simeon or the Isabella Stewart Gardner
museum in Boston. I enjoyed the grounds far more than the house.
