Um - OK. The grounds of the mansion are very nice - the views of the Hudson, in particular - and the house is pretty enough. But - the mansion itself just isn't that interesting.

I can picture going back to any of the four sites we visited this weekend, under the right circumstances - except for this one. No one even invented Contract Bridge here, by golly...
