It must take an army of people to keep everything trimmed and in such good condition. It’s one of the best homes and gardens that I’ve been to.

  I have spent time in the LaGrange area for the past five years but I had never visited Hills and Dales. My first and definitely not my last visit -... read more I converted my day pass to an annual pass as I left. I was a little short on time and now wish I had started in the greenhouses - but if I had, I may not have seen anything else! I can't wait to see how the estate changes with the seasons! I highly recommend to plant lovers and gardeners, also history buffs. It may not be the Biltmore House but well worth a visit!!! And the staff was wonderful.

  My wife and I came to LaGrange for a July 4th getaway and Hills and Dales was at the top of our list. Our visit consisted of a guided... read more tour of the mansion, followed by a self-guided walking tour through the formal gardnens. The standard tour covers three floors of the main residence, but the upper floors were off-limits due to renovation, so we saw only the main floor, but that was still interesting in itself. There were not many visitors that Friday so the guide actually gave my wife and I a private tour. What I enjoyed most were the gardens, they are very well designed and well-tended for, there is something new to see every few yards. I did notice a few gaps in the boxwoods, probably due to disease or neglect from an earlier period, but these were few and far between, and the gardeners are evidently making efforts to remedy the issue. The staff was very helpful and friendly, wanting to engage in conversation and didn't appear to be rushed. Visitors enter through the visitor center and then are shuttled to the main residence and gardens in electric carts, or can choose to walk. At the end of your tour you return to the entrance the same way. The carts ran efficiently and we never had to wait.

  This is a must see for anyone visiting Lagrange area. The staff is so knowledgeable and friendly! They go out of their way to make your visit memorable.... read more The house is absolutely beautiful and such great care has been taken to preserve the history and beauty of this place. Our tour guide was so good, the house seemed to come to life as she shared the history of this magnificent home. The gardens are magical! We visited last weekend during the winter so I can only imagine how beautiful they will be in the spring. We plan on visiting often (we became members) and enjoying this incredible place.

Was wonderful to learn about the history of the house, the grounds, and the families living here. The Christmas tree with the original decorations was a great hit.
