"A grand Victorian mansion set within formal gardens and an arboretum of towering Scots pines, oaks and silver fir, this estate showcases period artifacts, antique furniture and notable paintings that evoke 19th-century high-end décor. Donated to the public in the early 20th century, it anchors popular walking routes and sits beside a traditional working farm and lakeside trails, making it both a cultural highlight and a convenient starting point for longer circuits around the lakes." - Andrea Bussell
