Guests enjoy multiple fireplaces and cozy gathering spaces, expansive lake and mountain views from the balcony, and unique themed bedrooms that feel straight out of a storybook.

Warm, elegant, and inviting, the Chateau features 2 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms plus a tower/loft, beautiful furnishings, and handcrafted stone details. A private indoor hot tub room overlooks the slopes, offering a relaxing alpine retreat with comfort and character.

What a wonderful and unique experience staying at the castle and Château was! The owner left a thoughtful gift of cakes for us to enjoy, and we found the ski and ski out route, which was a bonus!

The overall medieval atmosphere! We felt like royalty!! The cake from the owner with the dragon was so thoughtful! We almost wished we skipped all day of skiing to just hang out! My grandsons had a great time. It was amazing. Warm, clean, everything worked perfectly!

Our family had a wonderful time celebrating Thanksgiving in the Castle.It will be something our grandkids will long remember. As wonderful as it is, it’s getting a little “tired”A little refresh would be welcome

It was an amazing experience staying in the Castle and the Chateau. I couldn't have asked for a more wonderful location. The only down-side was we booked two nights, and we all wanted to stay a week!
