“Loved it! I was very impressed that you let Veterans stay at the property for free. It really says a lot about who you are as a company. Cheers! ”

“I like the freshness with which you told your personal stories. You must be asked the same questions 100 X a day and yet your responses did not sound beaten down with repetitiveness but came out as sweet as the freshly baked cookies. I liked how I felt trusted to go around unsupervised and yet every so often there would be someone to attend to any question or need we had. I did not like that the cook told us where the secret door was. but we realize he was cooking up a storm. we had such a fun time finding them. I think we got 10. ”

“It is one of my families favorite places on earth! I've traveled the world and really, there is NOTHING like this place! It is magical, inspiring, interesting, fun. We never get tired of going there. The staff is extremely generous and friendly. I mean how many places do you know of that you can walk around all day, I usually spend 3 to 4 hours marveling at the rooms and objects. Everything and I mean everything is for sale!! H & Ted are the most beautiful people I've ever met, they are sincere, caring and go out of their way to make sure we've always been welcomed.. This place has brought our families memories that will last forever, I love the mansion and love you H & Ted...”

“I signed up for the Champagne Tour. This was by far the most unique experience I've had in DC. I didn't quite know what to expect, having read just a bit about the history of the O Mansion. I found myself smiling all throughout the tour. I would've stayed longer if I didn't have to move my car! The only thing that would've made the experience better is to have the option of an audio tour to learn more about each room. I read some of the card plaques but was too distracted by the rooms themselves and looking for the secret doors. I got a little history fix lounging in the second story of the log cabin watching the short TV clips about the Mansion. I get that part of the point is the mystery and secrecy...just a little difficult for a "nosey rosey" such as myself! ”

“Good tidings from Deep in the Heart of Texas. I have just been still long enough to reflect on some of my late summer travels, and I must tell you that I am still getting vibrations of serenity & comfort from my August stay at the Mansion, and my time there with you & H. Thank you for making me feel like I am always most welcome, and that I'm as cool as Jackson Browne, or a host of the other true artists that find shelter & inspiration there. My best to you both on this Friday. Today I'll take delivery of the new Mystiquero record, and my own solo record, and I'll put them in the mail to y'all next week. Peace & Happiness on your house. Onward WW ”

“There is no other place like The Mansion On O. Many visits later and still discovering, being blessed & inspired by all that Ted & H make possible for all of us. So much more than a Museum. Indescribable. A true great 'escape'. Grateful to witness. Your fan always, Janet Emma Garbe Seven West & The Americana Stage ? ”

“The Mansion was the perfect place to celebrate my wife's 50th birthday. Your place is so fun and funky and offered something for everybody!

“Our event far surpassed our expectations . Unfortunately a number of our guests were late due to traffic , but the staff were wonderful waiting for them and were able to adjust the schedule , so we were all able to enjoy a tour of the mansion , before sitting down to tea . And the tea ! Each course was more delicious than the preceding one. We just loved the presentation ... using different stations . This of course gave us the opportunity to move around and talk to each other which was just what we wanted . We were truly amazed when we saw the cake stands with the chocolate Capitol buildings , WOW . The cakes themselves were absolutely delicious, hard to choose a favourite. I had originally thought that we would be confined to one dining area so it came as a wonderful surprise to realise we would have a reception area , as well as the food stations , and a beautiful dining area, with a fantastically presented table . I know Roger had planned on coming down to meet with you again , but our time has not been our own with a lot of friends and family invites . So he plans on sending you his thoughts as soon as we are back in the UK. Thank you once again for making our event so memorable and special , Margaret ”

Karen - MetLife on Jun 28, 2016 said:
“Your staff was WONDERFUL!!!!!!!! I don't think there are enough words in the English language to describe them. Everyone had a great time and we LOVED the Museum. Most are already planning to come back. Thank you so much for seeing that we had a GREAT time and it really left a very, very good impression on our guests. I am sure that we will be back. We gave them your information to let them know who help us plan the event. We really told them that all we did was make the call and you pretty much handled everything else! So we were allowed to be guests and enjoy the event too. That was really outstanding! You will probably get some calls soon. I am definitely coming back again soon, even if it is just to bring my friends! - ”

“I absolutely loved your hotel and if I make it back to DC I will be staying with you! How fun, entertaining and unusual of an experience. I've already told all my friends about your place. It fit perfectly with my travels to see art in DC. It was a perfect compliment to my adventure. ? ”
Moore, (Ms.) Maria on May 22, 2016 said:
“We did the self-guided tour on a pretty day finally after so much rain here in the District. The staff is truly great and Veronica was knowledgeable, helpful and loves her job. After an introduction about this nonprofit we adventure by ourselves around the house, took us an hour and a half to wander around at our leisure. Only found like 10 hidden doors but it was fun. Love how the rooms are decorated and the antiques in it. Will come back! ? ”

“The CT Association of REALTORS? booked a fun dinner and tour for 52 of our members last weekend. The house, the guest service and the food exceeded our expectations! People really enjoyed exploring the mansion, looking at all the fun items and artifacts displayed throughout the house and then had one of the most fantastic dinners we've ever had at an event venue. Our members were still complimenting the night and what a great time they had the next day. We would HIGHLY recommend The Mansion on O Street for your event, you won't regret it! Need to stress again that the food was absolutely FANTASTIC!!! Thank you H and everyone on staff at the Mansion! Kind Regards, Alison Hudak CT REALTORS? Executive Programs Planner ? ”

Wachtel, (Ms.) Jennifer on May 5, 2016 said:
“The Mansion on O Street was a wonderful break from the hustle and bustle of downtown DC. I came in a group of three and we all enjoyed discovering secret passageways and compartments (although we didn't even come close to finding all of them!). The philanthropic mission behind the mansion is truly inspiring and I will definitely recommend it to my colleagues. Wandering around five houses can be tiring, so I'm also really appreciative that the designers included chairs for visiting explorers in the floor plan! -Jen Wachtel ? ”

Fakir, Zaheer on Apr 17, 2016 said:
“Staying at the Mansion on O was like staying at a home away from home rather than a hotel. Entering the Mansion you immediately transported into an exhilarating, spiritual, quirky, surreal environment that makes you smile, make you reflective, surprises you, astounds you and opens your creative juices. When you check in you don't only get a key and code to the door but more importantly you immediately adopted into the Mansion family. My stay was the most relaxing stay I have ever had in any hotel and the most inspiring. Climbing the stairs to my room the "5th Dimension" was like taking a stairway to heaven. ? ”

“Wonderful, quirky, unique experience. Secret passageways are extremely hard to find. Some sort of guidance would be appreciated. ? ”
Lin Self-Guided Tour guest on Apr 10, 2016 said:
“Our experience was wonderful. I have always loved secret passage ways from a young age. The room and designs are really fun to see especially the log cabin room (also love aquariums). We only found about 5 main secret passage ways (the bartender stated there were possibly 60) so i was expecting to find more. The only other downside is that we didn't get to see all of the rooms since guests were staying there but i guess this means we'll just have to come back. Thank you for the great experience!! ? ”
Alvin on Apr 5, 2016 said:
“Thank you, Ms. H and Ted for a truly memorable and magnificent experience. Last night was everything I could possibly have hoped for. Alto did a wonderful job on the tour and our chef was perfection. My most important guest said it was the best meal she had ever had. That could be an exaggeration, based on the overall experience, but I agree, it was an incomparable meal. ”

Sharon Treacy-Dunne —CEO Cross Border Orchestra of Ireland on Apr 1, 2016 said:
“We have just about come back down to earth after our whirlwind visit to Washington D.C. The entire experience was like a dream, beginning with our stay at the stunning Mansion on O Street which set the scene for what was truly the trip of a lifetime for our young musicians. The Mansion is simply the most amazing, unique and gorgeous hotel on earth; full of fascinating curiosities, with all the rooms so exquisitely decorated, we felt like royalty! Since we came home, the Mansion has been a real talking point, with everyone fascinated to know what made it so different and special. Thank goodness we had photos and videos! For us, it was a combination of Alison in Wonderland captivation and Louis X1V elegance, luxury and style; coupled with the warmth of your welcome and personable approach, that made staying there such a wonderful and memorable experience. Thank you for allowing us to have such an ideal space to rehearse in - this was essential for us in our final preparations for performing at the White House. Finally, a huge thank you for the very generous rate which made the entire trip possible. Sincere thanks and best wishes until the next time, Sharon and CBOI ”

“Thanks to you and your team, we had a wonderful retreat and experience in Washington for our group. From the special rooms, dinner, having Jessie Jackson at breakfast, Capitol Hill experience, and finally a tour with the FBI, you made everything wonderful. I believe that the groups favorite event was sitting with you and listening to the demo recordings. We appreciate you sharing that experience with us.”
Kelly, Bill on Mar 29, 2016 said:
“The Mansion on O is a Wonderland of visual and aural surprise and delight. In your wildest dreams, you have not imagined surroundings so eclectic, comfortable, lush, humorous, and over-the-top -- all of it at once homey and grand. It's a magic trick. It's a living museum. It's immersive theater in which the guest is the actor and the entire mansion is the stage. The Mansion and its lovable inhabitants embrace people, creativity, and community. I am already counting the friends to whom I will recommend it as a travel destination. ? ”
Brett, Michelle on Mar 27, 2016 said:
“The hotel itself is amazing and beautiful! But the kindness and welcoming manner of the staff made it an even more amazing experience. We had a fantastic time and are already planning another trip and inviting friends from out of state to come visit and join us! Thank you for a fabulous day!! Very well done! ? ”

Vollmer, Kristina on Mar 20, 2016 said:
“It was a lot of fun and took every bit of 2 hrs. We only saw 6 secret doors out of a possible 60-70 so we were very disappointed. We were hoping for some kind of key to the layout of the mansion to help us find more rooms and doors. Overall it was great fun and we enjoyed our introduction by Michael. Kris ? ”
Bristow, Jennifer on Mar 19, 2016 said:
“Absolutely loved everything! The house(s) are amazing, a radical departure from anywhere I've ever stayed. The bed in the Fireplace room was like being at home, I slept incredibly well. And Ted and Alok could not have been better hosts for our group event. Food service was impeccable. I could not possibly say enough about how great the whole experience was. I will recommend to everyone I know! ? ”
SRO: Berardo guest on Mar 14, 2016 said:

“Our company hosts a dinner event for our distributors each year during an annual conference. Which is held in a different city every year as well. I am so glad I was able to find the Mansion on O Street for this year's dinner event in Washington D.C. The guests had a fabulous time going through the "maze" of a house, the food was great and the service was excellent. Thank you to everyone at the Mansion for a great experience. ? ”
Bolen, Bill on Feb 26, 2016 said:

Anderson, Donna on Feb 11, 2016 said:
“Janis Joplin would have loved this weird and whimsical house. It seemed like a cross between a hoarder's flea market, a Bates Hotel on Route 66, a Rock & Roll hangout, a luxury party venue, and a spy fantasy of hidden passageways thrown in for good measure. I couldn't get over how clean it was considering how packed it was with huge chandeliers, books, and stuff everywhere. The rooms looked comfortable and like a fun place to stay with family. I give it 5 stars for it's uniqueness. ? ”
Larue, Florence on Feb 9, 2016 said:
“WOW!!! Words cannot describe how much I enjoyed my visit to the mansion!!! My only regret is that I could not stay longer!!

I look forward to a return visit, and have told my friends and acquaintances they MUST visit the mansion when in Washington, DC Love & Blessings, and a sincere thank you to all at the mansion.

“Lovely Sunday brunch.would have been nice to see a few more options.ie oatmeal,cheese,cold meats. This was a truly unique experience. We came with our 22 year old son who said it was the highlight of our trip to Washington. He said everyone knows about the monuments and museum but this is a well kept secret. We brought our friend who has lived in DC for 4 years and he had never heard of it! Loved that the staff shared their passion about this very cool place! Will definetely pass this travel tip along!! Next time i want to stay in the hotel and swim in your gorgeous pool! ? ”

Skeens, (Mrs.) Karen on Jan 3, 2016 said:
“My first visit to the Mansion was for a corporate function in early in December. What a treat and I immediately thought of several people I knew would love a trip to the Mansion. I was absolutely delighted to find oyster plates on my first trip and gave them as Christmas gifts. On January 2nd, I shared this treasure with my husband and our close friends from Radford, VA. We spent several wonderful hours wandering through the rooms to see all the Mansion has to offer. My husband particularly enjoyed searching for and finding many of the secret doors! Many of our conversations began with I remember... or remember when! We have several other friends and relatives who will enjoy a trip to the Mansion. Thank you for a great way to begin the New Year! -- Karen Skeens ? ”

Siart Self-Guided Champagne Tour guest on Dec 31, 2015 said:
“I've been wanting to visit the O Street Mansion since I first heard about it a couple of years ago but just hadn't found time to go visit and also wasn't totally sure how interesting it would actually be. This year, for Christmas, I decided to get tickets for me and my family as a Christmas present (we did the self guided champagne tour). We had a BLAST looking through all the rooms, getting lost in the twists and turns of the house, and finding secret doors (we found 10 of the 70 in the house)! We were there for two hours exploring the house and definitely would have stayed longer if it wasn't closing. Also, everything in the Mansion can be purchased and my mom and sister found some interesting items that they ended up buying and taking home. We had so much fun and will definitely be back to find those other 60 secret doors :) We are also planning on returning to celebrate for New Year's Eve. If you are looking for a fun outing in DC that is not museum or monument based I would definitely recommend checking out the O Street Mansion! ? ”
Biles Self-Guided Tour guest on Dec 29, 2015 said:
“We had a great time. My kids had never been to the mansion before and they thought it was very cool. Hard to impress teenagers but you did! Love finding the hidden passageways and rooms. I tried to buy some chairs but they were sold, It is awesome that your inventory really moves. I will come back again soon to look around. The only suggestion I would make is When getting people started on their tour, self guided or other, tell them that when they find a hidden door (mirror or book case..) to close it quickly so it does not give it away for others looking. ? ”
Castonguay, Pascale on Dec 29, 2015 said:
“Really original concept. We appreciated our visit even tough we clearly should have plan to stay longer (we were not able to visit the whole mansion, but we wish we could have). It was a great experience! ? ”
Womack, (Mr.) John on Dec 29, 2015 said:
“We had a wonderful time. The whole place was very cool, and we had a blast hunting down secret doors while we sipped on champagne. We are already talking about coming back, but this time we want to stay there! ? ”
Etzkin, Lena on Dec 28, 2015 said:
“This was simply a magical place! It's truly a hidden gem. Or rather, gem upon gem upon gem! The food was fabulous and fresh and we felt so welcome from the moment we arrived. The valet knew who we we were and congratulated us on our engagement. I was continually amazed the entire day and we can't think of a better place for our wedding. Now we need to figure out logistics in the next week or 2 before we pick a date. But this place is everything I could have possibly wished for , and MORE! ? ”
Polanz Self-Guided Tour guest on Dec 27, 2015 said:
“It is one of my favorite place on earth! I travel the world and really, there is NOTHING like this mansion! I had a chance to meet the owners and tell them in person how grateful I am to be able to visit such a wonderful place. It is magical, inspiring, crazy, funny....I never get tired of going there. The staff is extremely generous and friendly. I mean how many mansions do you know that you can walk in any day?? I spent usually 3 to 4 hours marveling at the rooms and objects. So far, 10 secret passages found, but there are 70! I do always buy objects since I fully support their art program, read more about it! Artists live there! thank you thank you so much for making a secret mansion dream of mine come true!!!!!!!!Doe ? ”
Liu, (Ms.) Christine on Dec 25, 2015 said:

Rooney, Judge Covette on Dec 24, 2015 said:
“The office Holiday Luncheon at the O Mansion was magnificent ! Veronica our hostess was such a pleasure. Meeting Mrs. H and hearing her story and what inspires her, was so very enlightening and a treat. It brought to light what is important in life. We were in awe as we toured the Mansion. What a treasure. We will be back and will continue to support the O Mansion. Thank you. Chief Judge Covette Rooney OSHRC ? ”

“I had been planning this milestone birthday dinner party at the Mansion for months. From day one to the actual event, the entire process was smooth and painless. I was so nervous and anxious about the details as the date approached but my event planner Sally, was beyond patient and supportive. We had a dinner party in the wine cellar. The food was exquisite! The service exceeded my expectation! The mansion itself is such of an unique place with many different and interesting activities. My quests were beyond impressed . My event supervisor( Rogelio),and personal server(Astrid), were beyond attentive and made sure we lacked or wanted for nothing. I have nothing but great things to say about the entire experience and would highly recommended this venue for your next event be it something casual to an elegant dinner as I had. Will definitely come back to The Mansion on O street. Thank you for making my Birthday celebration unforgettable. ? ”

“It was an honor to meet Mrs. H. Leonards and Mr. Ted Spero. The introduction to The Mansion was great. However, there was also a sweet young African American woman who received us so friendly and tried to make our stay pleasant. Thank you to all of you! I certainly will return to The Mansion - an unforgettable place.Happy holidays and warmest regardsUlrike Bergner ? ”

“On behalf of everyone at Tempus Inc. I would like to say thank you for a wonderful night! We received great feedback from our guests both at the event and in our office today. Our guests were mesmerized by each object and secret passage way they could find in the Mansion. The food was phenomenal and I can certainly see why your pastry chef is one of the top 10 in the country :). I would also like to commend our event supervisor and his staff. I unfortunately did not get his card so forgive me for misspelling his name! Rogelio was an absolute delight to work with. He went above and beyond his call of duty and from observing the way he interacted with me, his staff, and our guests I can tell that he is a great leader. I wanted to arrive early for our event but wasn't able to due to traffic and unforeseen circumstances. Once I arrived (15 minutes prior to our guests arriving), Rogelio found me and we went through some last minute changes I wanted for our event. Instead of being flustered by the changes, Rogelio sprang into action and directed the staff to assist with our needs. Throughout the night he would check in on me to make sure our guests had everything we needed. He was vigilant and acutely aware of everything about our event and he even offered suggestions to make our night better ( Such as the location of our photo booth, moving our podium etc). Even though I only worked with him briefly, I can tell he has great character, amazing work ethic, and embodies the brand of the Mansion brilliantly. My boss, the General Counsel of our company, loved working with him as well. I would also like to thank Sally, the director of catering, H, and Ted for working with us as well. This was my first time planning a Holiday Party for our company and each one of them helped me throughout the process. I would love to thank them for their patience, answering my questions, and offering suggestions as well! The mansion has now become my go to place to show guests around when they come to DC. ”

“The experience was better than what I imagined. From the greeting at the front door to us being walked over the bar for our champagne. We explored every floor and loved all the different themes that went throughout the mansion. There were hotel guests there so there were some restrictions about which rooms can or can't be entered. Other than that we enjoyed the experience and the secret rooms. ? ”

Sarah & Kate on Nov 16, 2015 said:
“Kate and I had an amazing night and our guests cannot stop raving about what fun they had and about how beautiful and incredible a place the Mansion is. You all did an amazing job setting up the space just as we wanted it, the food was plentiful and delicious, the bar was well stocked and your bartender a super nice guy, the staff was gracious and patient with our (by the end of the evening!) inebriated guests... In sum, we could not have asked for a more special evening. Also, you were all so accommodating with allowing us to spill into the entire first floor, I know the kids loved the extra space to run around in, and also with allowing us to drop our flowers off at the Mansion and assemble our centerpieces there. Thank you again. Thank you so much for making our wedding so memorable and stress free! We hope to be back soon! ? ”

“I went to OMansion to hear Freebo who is one of my favorite artists. It was my first time there and the experience was terrific. The hosts are welcoming and the mansion itself is incredible. I explored some but felt a bit shy looking for hidden doors. Maybe next time I'll go with a friend and discover more. ? ”
Yaworske, Cindy on Nov 11, 2015 said:
“Dinner was FANTASTIC! We ate in the wine room, which is lovely intimate room, perfect for a dinner for 10-12 people. The food was out of this world. Their French chef described everything on the menu and how it was being prepared. They were also able to accommodate our vegetarian guest. It was a lovely experience and I will definitely go back. A+ food, service, and venue!! ? ”
Yaworske, Cindy on Nov 11, 2015 said:
“Everything about the Mansion was wonderful. It's a truly unique venue for any kind of event. We loved it so much, we will go back again and again and again. And, they have the most incredibly helpful and friendly staff -- and the owners --- H and Ted - they are the host and hostess with the most-ess!!! LOVE them! The moment you enter the Mansion, you feel like you're part of the family!!! I'd HIGHLY recommend using the Mansion for a meeting, special occasion - or go, just for fun and see if you can find all of the hidden doors. Also a great place to find one of a kind gifts for that special someone!!!!! I'd give it 10 stars if it was an option!!! * * * * * * * * * * ? ”
