Greystone Mansion and Park

I was there on January 12, 2008. It is a beautiful place. The gardens were so nice. The next time I go back I plan to take picnic lunch. I didn't like the fact that you couldn't go into the house. I believe that this would have made the trip to the estate so much better. I also think there needs to be more info. about the house. Thanks for a great trip to LA. Karen and Carl Henry

This massive mansion is a thrill to tour, which I have done three times on different occasions. It's great fun to imagine living in such grandeur and explore the extensive floors.

It was awsome. I am going back in November when they are going to open the Mansion for the public to walk though. I can't wait.

I fell in love with this place when I was merely 14 (1985) and found it by virtue of an older cousin. On one trip I even found a slightly open door and walked the entire mansion before someone seeing me and escorting me out. Shhhhhh. Don't tell. It's phenomenal. I never feel as truly tranquil anywhere as I did at the top of this particular hill overlooking LA. It's so quiet and serene that you can't even fathom that you're in the middle of a major metropolitan city. And the trees are humongous and smell heavenly. The grandeur of this long-ago lifestyle is evident as you look through the windows and spy a bit of timeless wealth. It is sad to me, though, that there aren't tours of the inside because the interior of the home is so much more magnificent than the outside- but most people will never know it. They really should open it up on Saturdays and let people see the inner beauty of the mansion. In any case, you won't find this address on the "maps to the stars" but you also won't regret going to the grounds if you do. And then tell others about it- it's a very well-kept secret and I think more people should partake of its beauty.

I grew up having famliy picnics at teh mansion. At that time all the doors were locked, but the waterfalls and ponds were all in working condiction. The grounds are beautiful.. I even appreciated them as a child! We slid down the huge hills as kids..it's a lost treasure, that I rarely tell people about. Selfish I guess...best kept secret! Out of towners woudl enhoy, and locals should should enjoy it while they still can.
