“Spectacular year-round!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 April 2012

Meadowbrook Hall is not to be missed! This is an amazing estate year round, but especially during the Christmas Holidays! I have had the good fortune to attend several corporate events during this time which include a full tour and description of the historical importance of this beautiful mansion!
