The best part of the home is seeing and petting all the 6-toed cats. That was very enjoyable. The house is interesting, but really no more interesting than other historical homes. Also, if I recall, it cost $12 to get in.

No trip to Key West is complete without a trip to the Hemingway house (unless you hate cats, in which case avoid this). Walking through the house and grounds, as well as Hemingway's writing studio, gives one insight into the writing and the historical context in which the wrting was done.
Thank you for your review. We are glad you enjoyed your visit.

We were glad we took the time to do this while in Key West as so much of the key's culture is built around the Hemingway history. Beautiful home, great tour guide, very worthwhile!

Unique as the man who wrote an American literary heritage here. This house is the largest private residence in Key West and an interesting tour.

Get the guided tour if you are planning to visit. The guide shared a lot ot information that would be missed by just walking around. The cats were like little people. One was sleeping on the bed, another on top of a display case, a third lying on a table on the patio and three more in the gift shop....

Fascinating place that has been looked after and be sure to take the tour! My only comment would be the entry price but it is worth paying and looking around the house and garden!
THANK YOU very much U.K. for your 5-star review! We are gald you enjoyed the tour. The admission cost does support the 160 year old mansion, 1-acre of lush gardens, 45 polydactyl cats and full time staff. Comparatively the conch train tour is about $31 and a snorkel trip to the reef $41. Our admission at $13 seems reasonable considering...

Enjoyed walking through the house and garden. Lots of pictures on the walls. Helps if you know something about him prior, or take the tour; which we did not do as there was such a large group doing it. Lots of shade outside so good to do when hot. The cats were friendly
Thank you for your review. We are glad you toured the home.

So beautiful. Lived the cats. Worked hard to get photos. The trees were amazing. The history inside the house was cool, simple and beautiful.
Thank you for your review. Glad you enjoyed the gardens too.
