    Spectacular mansion in English Tudor style, designed by architects Alexander Walker and Leon Gillette and constructed in 1918 to 1921. Wonderful, highly tasteful interiors in eclectic styles, not lacking some "modern" conveniences such as showers, telephones, and a gramophone. Our tour guide was great and knew all the ins and outs. Located among the awesome Planting Fields gardens and green houses.

    Wonderful place to enjoy a walk. The grounds are meticulously maintained and full of beautiful flowers and old growth trees. There are meandering paths that will take you through wild colored flowers. There are lots of places to sit back and take in the silence of a secret garden.

    The Coe Hall Historic House Museum is a beautifully designed Tudor Style Mansion, located in the Planting Fields Arboretum of Oyster Bay, New York. In December of 2022, I brought and treated my wife and myself for a guided tour of the Coe Hall Historic House Museum and we very much enjoyed our tour experience. Designed by architectural firm, Walker & Gillette, and fully constructed in 1922, the Coe Hall Mansion served as the primary residence of William Robinson Coe, a railroad and insurance executive and his spouse, Mary β€œMai” Huttleston Coe. Ms. Coe was a horticulturist and the youngest daughter of Henry H. Rogers, an immensely wealthy industrialist and a principal director of Standard Oil. Both my wife and I were deeply in awe of the beauty and glamour of the Coe Hall Mansion, loved it’s immaculate interior settings, and enjoyed sightseeing the picturesque landscape that surrounds the mansion, which consists of dazzling gardens and woodland paths. Our tour guide did a wonderful job on explaining the history and development of the mansion, she guided and briefed us on many of the mansions rooms, such as the Reception Room, Dining Room, The Gallery & Bedrooms, and also discussed life of William Robinson Coe and his family at the mansion. Since we visited the mansion during the 2022 Holiday season, my wife and I were fortunate enough to view and take pictures of gorgeous Christmas decorations that were located throughout the mansion and the estate. Both my wife & I highly enjoyed our guided tour of the Coe Hall Historic House Museum and very much recommend for everyone to visit this breathtaking destination!!!

    I’ve been coming here for a while now. I usually do love everything about the mansion itself and the park, but recently we were in the gift shop and one of the employees (a younger man) was very rude to us. We decided to leave after that. Usually the Planting Fields is such a refreshing place to be, but my last experience really ruined it for me. It’s true what they say about customer service, it can really make or break the experience!

    This is a beautiful historical home on Long Island. I joined the tour at 12 pm on Sunday and had a great experience. This place has everything that I like; history and nature 😁

    Absolutely love it. Gorgeous mansion with interesting history and architecture. There is beautiful gardens around that you can explore after your tour. You need to book a tour to get inside, but it’s 100% worth it!

    Beautiful 65 room mansion in the Tudor Revival style on the Gold Coast. Rebuild 1918-1921 after the original house was burned to the ground. Once home of SUNY College on Long Island (now Stonybrook). Now a bautiful house museum. Very friendly staff. Our tour guid Mary Ellen was very knowledgeable and informative about the history of the art pieces.

    Great historical place to visit any time of year. Built at a turn of 20th century, it has a lot of interesting architecture details, furniture and Long Island, NY history. The surrounding botanical garden is very well preserved and maintained, it is enjoyable for walks and picnics in the company of many beautiful and unique trees.

    We visited Coe Hall during the holidays. There was an entrance fee. We had access only to the first floor which was beautifully decorated.

    A beautifully restored mansion and grounds in Oyster Bay, Long Island. If you want to look at the past here on Long Island this is one of several places you should visit. Along with this you may also want to visit the home of Teddy Roosevelt. Both are very different and both have deep history to explore. The mansion is named Coe Hall after it's original owner Mai Coe. You walk into this place and feel the love that went into it's design. Although not original as in most restorations, beautiful period furniture which could have even been there at one time was chosen to make the restore as authentic as possible. The Planting Fields Foundation, the maintainer of things at Coe has done a great job. Highly recommended.

    Beautiful grounds! Even in winter when the gardens are bare. The greenhouse is awesome! The houses are gorgeous from outside. There's a few wooded walking paths, well marked, for taking a nice 2-3 mile stroll with your family! The field house had a simple Cafe (closed when we visited) and a mediocre gift shop (skip it. Full of junky trinkets you see in every gift shop.). The buildings close at 4pm so go early!

    Beautiful place inside and out. One of the Best run Gold Coast Mansions. Very friendly. Private tours. Also guided tours. Plenty of events. Lots and lots history.

    I believe this is the most beautiful mansion on Long Island hard to believe it was just a summer home that's how much money the Coe family had.Mai coe had an eye for design you can see just by the property and the house itself she was also wealthier than her husband very cool property highly recommend checking it out if you haven't
