Kingcote is one of the older Mansions that was slated to be knocked down and was rescued from the 1950-1960 (town decision?). Great woodwork and a lot of original artifacts. Grounds have a European Fernleaf Beech Tree thats very rare in US, by my experience. Doesnt seem prone to Beech tree diseases. Part of Newport Mansion Preservation and worth getting 2 person memebership that also allows a guest. No private tours for Kingscote typically (rare).

Underated Newport mansion. Beautiful restoration with loads of original period pieces. Written description of each room guides you through. Although not as opulent as The Breakers or other Newport mansions, it is really worth the stop to get transported back in time.

Great mansions to visit prior to the Breakers. Very nicely preserved Gothic style home with amazing wood details. Tickers are not sold on site so you can either purchase ahead of time or online with your phone.

Kingcote and Chateau Sur Mer are my favorite Newport mansions to visit because you can imagine a family living there. I especially enjoyed the grounds at Chateau Sur Mer. The photos are from Kingcote.

All of these mansions were incredible. Kingscoat, owned by the LeRoy or King family is one of the "cozier" places. It is beautiful inside and one that I recommend highly.

Beautiful Gothic cottage that looks small but has many unique rooms on the inside. Make sure you hit the tours on the hour, as you have to be guided through.
