“I love this unique experience and CANNOT wait to go back! I found 12 secret doors and can't wait to find more. I watched videos about the mansion after visiting and now I want to find things in the videos I didn't see today. This is an ideal afternoon with friends, a group of tweens, and especially music enthusiasts. Although mostly handicap accessible, some parts of the mansion can only be accessed using smaller assistive devices like canes. I have a rollator but may use my cane with a fold out stool next time. So much fun!”

Janelle Warner - Baltimore, MD on Oct 6, 2022 said:

“Looking for stuff to do while we stayed in Alexandria and found this place, and was curious as to what it'd be like. Was pleasantly surprised at how much fun my friend and I had walking around looking for secret doors. We also enjoyed walking through the various rooms and looking at the decor and different styles of the times. The stuff in there seems really random at times, and other times, you just find yourself gawking at the fact that all this stuff is contained in one residence. I still wonder how it simultaneously operates as a hotel, because there is stuff literally everywhere you look. The staff was kind and informative, I'm still fascinated about the fact that Rosa Parks lived there for 10 years (still not sure we made it to her room, but we definitely didn't see everything for the 3-4 hours we were there. Time flew! We found a little over 10 doors and we still discovered a room we missed the second time we went back for 10 extra minutes. Some doors are bound to be accidentally revealed to you when other people are also looking around, but it's no big deal. Would definitely bring a group back here to do this as a team building exercise or something with some friends. Also, highkey want to find more doors. If you're ever in DC or Alexandria, definitely check this place out. The seeming randomness of it this place is experience enough, and on top of that, you may really enjoy it!”

George Anderson - US on Oct 6, 2022 said:

“There is no way to see everything in two hours”

Bethany Fitzgerald - US on Oct 6, 2022 said:

Anwen B. - San Rafael, CA on Oct 6, 2022 said:

“This place is a haven in DC for its uniqueness and diversity. Every room is lined with incredible art, you could spend weeks just looking at everything in there. I've gone multiple times and it never gets old because there is constantly new items coming and going and different art exhibits up. There are some amazing works by Gerald Johnson in various rooms.One of my favorites is the Beatles themed roomed where you can play pool, listen to some good music, and on an off day maybe even have one of the staff make popcorn out of the old machine! Also there is beautifully designed log cabin room (which you can also say in as a guest if you want).There are plenty of fun secret doors to be found, and keep in mind that not all doors are what you might consider "doors". ”

Nicole Lando on Oct 3, 2022 said:

“We had such a great time! My friend and I have been wanting to check out the mansion since we moved to DC and are so glad we did.

Will be recommending the O street mansion to anyone and everyone!”

Rainy day or not, be sure to visit!The history is cool; Rosa Park lived there for years! There's a John Lennon room & a log cabin room.
