First of all, the property is lovely. Debbi is an amazing property manager and extremely helpful! The kitchen is outfitted with everything you could imagine you might need. Lots of places to gather and just be together.

We really enjoyed our stay. Our troupe included 16 family members who all seemed to embrace and appreciate a royal lifestyle for a few days during the holidays. The architecture, craftsmanship, eclectic artwork, kitchen space, group settings combined with indoor and outdoor privacy, were among the many attributes highlighted among the family royal court. It’s hard to think of anything negative about our stay (maybe only the challenges with TV/theater remotes), and clouds that inhibited using the observatory! Special thanks to manager, Debbie, who welcomed us, provided a lovely tour with detailed explanations, and was very responsive to our (few) inquiries. Thank you very much!
8 / 10Excellent·Sep 2025
My family of 9 adults met at The Castle and found The Castle and the furnishings were very fun and eccentric. It is a great place for a large family to gather with plenty of room and things to do like fishing, trolling around the pond, outdoor fire pit, walking, cooking, playing games and being outdoors. Debbie was helpful in showing us around. The exterior could use a little maintenance/TLC. The observatory had many flies inside, so we were disappointed that we didn’t get to use it, otherwise had a great time.
