3. Dunsmuir House and Gardens

Designated a National Historic Site, this house and its verdant grounds have become a landmark in the area. The huge Oakland mansion has 37 rooms, 10 with fireplaces, and was built in the colonial revivalist style. Though the interior is exquisite and the architecture stunning, the biggest draw is the intricate gardens, where the home hosts concerts and celebrations throughout the year. Old-fashioned throwbacks to the home's past include the croquet court and the conservatory.   (© 10Best)
