I highly recommend a visit to this beautiful home, built by the founder of Kernersville. I recently visited while they were decorated for Christmas and there is truly nothing like it.

If you like old houses, architecture, history, or just unique things- this is a must see! Probably one of the most unique houses I have ever toured. While not the grandest the decor and features are beautiful. It’s rare to come across something truly unique.

This house tour surprised me. The home is very cool from the outside but the inside was amazing. It was $10 for adults and was worth it since the money goes back into the house. The reception room was amazing but then the top floor theater room just blew us away. The 4 floors and out building are well worth the visit.

Dick Burgman

Great place and a lot of history in there. Right now, because of covid-19 you'll need to schedule your tour. It will take you one hour to see the entire house. They're very well organized. The tour is self guided. A lot of good information in every room. Highly recommended!

This is just see only because how odd and small rooms and doorways in this house.Kids will enjoy crawling in and out areas.

Highly unusual building - built to showcase interior design and features as a ‘catalog’ showcase and be a family home.

Our family loves to visit Korner's Folly, and we have made sure to treat our out-of-town guests to this unique Triad experience! It makes me so happy to see this fantastic architectural gem preserved for the community. If you have not toured this one-of-a-kind historical treasure, you really should add this site to your must-do list! 🙂

So unique and beautifully decorated for Christmas! Very tight in many spaces tho and made it hard to enjoy each room because you were surrounded by lots of people. Very steep steps and not handicap friendly inside the house due to the style of house and the original builders "upgrades." Such a cool story though behind the house and it's builder. Definitely a must see!

Victoria Pearce

04:16 31 Dec 19

Quirky Victorian House that showcases Victoriana. The only complaint I have is the passage ways are not for one who has claustophobia. Also not handicapped friendly. Aside from that it's an interesting trip.

A visit to this home is truly a great experience. To see all the architectural details and worldly elements in person are mind blowing. Having the opportunity to visit during the Christmas season was icing on the cake. Each room was designed taking the home owners legacy in mind--filled me with Christmas cheer and delight!!

Lisa Nielsen

10:38 05 Dec 19

This beautiful house was from the late 1800's. It was decorated for Christmas-nicely done. The history was interesting. The 1st ever theater in the country was in this home. It was beautiful. This house is known as the strangest architectural house in America. Each room is different. This is a must see! And only $10 to tour it.

Alexander Galluzzo

19:39 27 Nov 19

Big rooms, little rooms, tall rooms, short rooms, wide stairs, narrow stairs. A house constantly tinkered with because it’s owner could, and in the most ornate way possible. The little theater alone is worth the trip, and that’s just one of twenty-two rooms.

Such an interesting place! Utterly unique historic house. Friendly staff. Good informational video at Aunt Dealy's house (ticket & gift shop) before you embark on self-guided tour. Information placards in each room give you the history and guide you to the next room. I highly recommend comfortable walking shoes, as there are many staircases between all 7 levels of the house. We spent about an hour here. I'd love to come again!

We toured today with our 12 yr old granddaughter and it was amazing! Can't imagine living in a a house like that. Thank you for doing the renovations so that we can continue to enjoy the history. We were surprised at how much our granddaughter got out of the tour and how much she liked it. The scavenger hunt was a great way to have the children interact and look for certain features of the house.

Stephanie Condrey Pritchard

01:15 31 Dec 18

Fascinating house with some of the most unusual architecture and woodwork you will ever encounter. Not for the claustrophobic, since a few of the rooms have very low ceilings. See the house when it's decorated for Christmas, if you can.

D. Todd Miller

I loved this house! So freaking impressive. Definitely worth the price. Maybe not for kids, as your not supposed to touch a lot of things. But the details and hidden beauty well entertain any adventurous adult!

Cindy Zimmerman

02:14 17 Apr 17

Victorian Americana Gem partially restored and fascinating. Loved the two women in charge of the office and house the day I visited. I spent hours here. I will return at the December holidays after seeing photos of the house decorated in trees and lights. Thank you for all who keep this folly alive.

Kim Brittenham

21:04 19 Mar 17

This house was fascinating. Since I live in Asheville and am familiar with our own grand house here, you might think I wouldn't find this one as interesting. I actually found it more interesting than Biltmore. They allow you to tour everything, even the areas that aren't pristine. I still thought the house was beautiful and the love that is being poured into it is obvious. I definitely hope to return at Christmas to see the decorations. Thank you to everyone who works to keep this attraction open.

Ginger Pierce

17:54 27 Feb 17

A wonderful self-guided tour. So glad there was so many of Korner's original pieces in each room. I will certainly come again when I have family visiting.

What can I say bad? I had my wedding reception at the Folly in 2000, and my greatX2 grandpa (Elias Huff) worked for Mr. Korner on the woodwork inside the Folly. The nonprofit operating the foundation for the Folly is doing great work and I look forward to their continued restoration of this grand home!

Sam Chip Cook

21:36 05 Dec 16

For many years I've been touring older homes large and small and I have to say I have never seen a house that has so much unique character.
I'm glad those who saved it recognized the historical value in this house. Thank you for your dedication.
I will be back since every trip will reveal new and unique things about the house.

This home is truly remarkable.. Words just cannot just to describe the beauty in this home and the craftsmanship. I love that they encourage photography since that does not happen often. The people who work there are just as amazing as the house. I'm looking forward to developing my images and sharing. I'm looking forward to returning around Christmas.

This place is an architectural feast for the eyes. Each of the rooms has its own character and has an interesting history. The place needs a lot of work and is evident in a few rooms, but it doesn't undermine the house's beauty. The staff is very nice and informative. I highly recommend it!

The Folly is an amazing architectural oddity, well worth exploring. And as the multiple efforts to restore its hidden structure and its visible spaces continue over the last two decades, its star shines ever brighter for local residents and visitors alike.

What a marvelous place. Worth every moment we spent in the home and the $10 they charge for admission (much of which is going toward continued restoration). It's charming, eccentric, and beautiful. The home is still undergoing restoration, but it is a wondrous place. There are beautiful murals on the walls, exceptional finishes throughout the home, and incredible art work all sparked by it's original owner. The home became a national historic site in the 1970's, but still needs additional help to find sufficient donors to really complete the work being done. With that said, it's worth making a special trip to see this terrific landmark! Make sure you watch the 8 minute video before you go in the house. Although it is a bit hokey, you'll understand why once you then enter the house. Even kids will think this place is cool!
