Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

Hunter House is the smallest, oldest and least spectacular of the Newport Preservation Society properties available to tour. Arguably, it is also the most historic. The original portion of Hunter House was built in 1748 for Colonial Deputy Governor Jonathan Nichols Jr. This large 2½-story house has a balustraded gambrel roof and heavy stud construction. In 1756, the property was sold to Colonel Joseph Wanton Jr., who was a deputy governor of the colony and a merchant. Wanton enlarged the house by adding a south wing and a second chimney, transforming the building into a formal Georgian mansion with a large central hall.
The house is only open for guided tours on Fridays and Saturdays it was closed for the season until June 1st. Thus, June 1st was the only day that we had available to see it and we were lucky to be able to book one of the 6 daily tours with a maximum of 8 people.
While quite different from the usual mansions run by the Preservation Society, this house is definitely worth visiting! They provide a great tour and the history of the place is fascination.

While much of the attention in Newport is on the Gilded Age mansions, Hunter House provides a fascinating glimpse of Newport life 150 years previous. Our guide did an excellent job taking us back to Colonial times and it was very interesting to see how the history of the house was in many ways a history of the country as well. Entry must be reserved in advance and this is strictly enforced since the size of the house limits the number of guests that can tour at one time comfortably. The surrounding neighborhood is well worth a stroll as you can see the largest collection of colonial structures in the country in just a few blocks. While the entry price is comparable to the other mansions and may seem a little steep we felt it was reasonable due to the ongoing conservation efforts and the fact that there was no gift shop to bring in additional funds.

It was amazing the amount of 18th Century Craftsmanship that went into it! Also the amount of preservation that had to go into it!

We toured this late in the day. The house was very dark as were many of the houses we toured (no electricity when they were built). The history was interesting but we were glad we didn't pay extra to see this one.

The Hunter House is NOT a gilded age house. It dates from 1748 and is a perfect example of a Georgian Colonial. It has lots of priceless furniture, It is open from mid May to mid October and can only be seen by taking a tour at 10:30, 12:30, 2:30, and 4:30. It cost $35.00, so if you want to see this house, it is best to become a member of the Newport Preservation Society. Membership is only $90.00 a year for a couple and $105.00 for a family (two adults and al chidden 6-17). Another option is to join NARM for $150.00 which includes all the mansions and many museums throughout the United States.

The Hunter House is a mid1700s house that was added to, and holds a remarkable collection of furniture, clicks and some into portraits. Be warned- it is only open to small groups at very specific hours- none of which are listed on line or in Preservation Society written materials. Staff at the house did not know this- and central office staff blew off concerns. There is even a flag outside that says open and plaque lists house hours without any notice that it is closed between tour times! Quite expensive as well.

Our tour guide Priscilla was amazing and very knowledgeable about the furnishings, architecture and history of the house and neighborhood. We learned a lot about the furniture and design styles common during this era (the house and furnishings are generally set to the 1750-1800) and the variety within these styles. The Hunter House is wonderful contrast to the Breakers style of houses by being well over one hundred years earlier. We would definitely recommend the tour.

I read some of the other reviews and the point that tour focuses very much on the style of furniture is well taken. There were definitely some dry parts to the tour. But, the house also does have an original work from Gilbert Stuart that was painted when he was just a teenager. That was far and a way the most interesting part of the tour. Again this is a colonial era house not a Gilded Age house, so the visitor should not be expecting anything like Marble House or Rosecliff. Overall, still worth a visit every ten years or so.

First, we joined the preservation society so access to this tour was free. Depending on your specific plans it may make sense to join the Preservation Society.
We loved the tour from Philip. Access to the house is only by tour.
Compared to other Newport mansions this one is small however it is probably the oldest one that offers tours. Before you arrive I would recommend checking the times for the specific tours that day.
I happen to like period furniture, especially Queen Ann and Chipendale. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about period furniture and the pieces in the house.
If you care nothing about period furniture and had to pay seperately for this tour you might be disappointed.
