We took a guided tour and our tour guide was terrific, very knowledgeable. The 65 room mansion and grounds were meticulously attended to. We will definitely go back for one of the other tours provided

Stan Hywet is not to be missed if you are visiting the Akron area. The manor is stunning and its history is well represented by the volunteer guides. Walk the grounds and gardens leisurely to appreciate their stunning beauty. Various events throughout the seasons appeal to multi generations. Locals are offered many opportunities to enjoy return visits via reasonable membership fee schedules.

A visit to Stan Hywet was our reason for coming to Akron & it more than lived up to our expectations. Beautifully preserved home & gardens that have all original furnishings. The tour guides for the home & gardens were both excellent & brought the history of the home & Seiberling family to life.

very pleasant experience. took us about 3 hours to go through the house and grounds. worth the money spent. we did non-guided tour and were ok with that. we look our time walking around. will likely check it out again over xmas holidays to see the lights/deco.

What a beautiful home!! The guides have so much information about this Tudor-styled home to share with visitors and they make visitors feel just as welcome as the Seiberlings did 100 years ago. The den of Frank Seiberling is a mancave most men would envy. There's a gym in the basement with a basketball floor as well as an indoor swimming pool. Each room has a story and is interesting. The grounds, gardens, and greenhouse are amazing.

My husband and I wanted to get into the Christmas spirit so we went and visited Stan Hywet Hall. We arrived about 4:00 and toured the house which is absolutely beautiful and decorated so festive for Christmas. We also liked that the furniture in the house was the original furniture that the Seiberling family had when they lived there. The house was very large (they advertise it as the 6th largest residence in the United States) but it was very comfortable and homey feeling. We have visited the Biltmore and while that house is very beautiful it is too over the top for us~we never felt like we could have lived there where we did get that feeling with Stan Hywet. Then as it got dark we walked outside and walked the property and viewed all the lights which were really nice. We also went into the gardens which had lots of poinsettias and Christmas flowers mixed in with lots of other plants. There were some water features also which were nice. We ended up visiting the gift shop at the end. We really enjoyed our trip there.

Was a multi generation visit at Stan Hywet. Wonderful place to see! Delighted with the kids' scavenger hunt booklets, so was a great way to keep the children occupied in a positive & educational way. 2 hours was our goal with the little ones & was then able to get outside for them to run. Had chosen the self-guided tour & the guide booklets were helpful...we asked a few of the staff questions as we went along. (they were very easy to talk to...great info given) One could easily spend a casual day between the art, architecture, history & the grounds. We were able to get a treat at their food booth before we left...the scone was eaten later (& found it wasn't cooked all the way through), but the hot cocoa was quite good.
