OMG! This place is exquisite! It's so serene and peaceful! The garden and fountains are so beautiful; the view of Lake Michigan from the house is a wow factor.

Going here is like taking a step into old Europe. The statues, architecture, garden is here for you to explore at a relaxed pace. Plus, the art exhibits are unique, interesting, and thought provoking. Last, at times they have an artist in residence teach the kids or adults an art lesson for free. Cool spot to check out.

This place is very beautiful and has some interesting history behind it. It's not very large so it only takes an hour or two to visit the whole place
