Lenox, MA • The newly renovated house and gardens offer insight into Wharton's personal philosophy on how to decorate, dwell, work, and entertain with grace and style. Unlike other "cottages" I have visited in Newport, Wharton's house is grand, but completely livable. After strolling the grounds be sure to enjoy a glass of wine at the café on the terrace.
