Lovely house, beautiful condition - worth the drive out if you are in Rhode Island. The audio tour was helpful though a little long (fast forward helped).

The Vanderbilts were visionary in many ways... and the stunning Breakers "summer cottage" showed their industrial might just prior to the start of the 20th century. A highly recommended tour and a remarkable story for this fabled property.

Wow...the Grandaddy of the Mansions. Very impressive and a must see. You can only imaging what life was like!!!
