Lovely place to stay. Ski in and out as described...the ski in requires a 300 foot hike up a hill. The owners are super friendly. The dragon cake was a hit with the family.
Incredible views of Schweitzer ski runs and overlooks the ski village, the Chateau is an amazing property that has to be experienced to appreciate! Highly recommend, loved our stay and already planning to get back next year!
This was such a magical place to stay on our Christmas vacation!! It surpassed ALL expectations! I have yet to experience such uniqueness as well as exceptional quality… We came with our college age sons and they were blown away! The second night we had 6 inches of fresh snow…Chateau magnificence!!!
A beautiful castle, authentic, charming, feels like you are in a real castle from yesteryear. Loved the dragon cake, which was such a nice gesture. Great views. Had such a wonderful time.
The location was great with a view of the ski resort. The home was very fun for the kids.

Gem of a place!
What a gem! Perfect place to stay and terrific host in Norman. The entire area is just breathtaking! Really enjoyed our stay (and now my husband wants to move here.)
We came for a girl's weekend and felt like princesses. House is amazing. The owner is equally amazing and ensured we had extra fun with the cake and flowers waiting for us on arrival. Make sure you read the book as there is an adventure waiting for you inside.
We were truly transported back to medieval times… The younger boys loved the experience of sleeping in the tower of the castle… The art and artifacts added so much more to the experience for the adults…looking forward to visiting again…
Great place for our 50th wedding anniversary. Had a blast in our medieval attire.
Much more than just a place to stay, It’s an experience. Everything went great, Norman is the best.

Amazing property
We celebrated our daughter’s birthday here with a princess theme and it was an experience we will cherish for life! Very clean, well stocked with all the things we could need, incredible views and the dragon cake left by the host was the cherry on top! Excellent weekend :)
The castle experience was worth the stay. It’s furnished with antiques, old artwork and arms that complement the castle really well. The dragon breathed for us too!
We had our entire family stay in this winter palace, with children ranging from 7 to 22 years of age, and they all enjoyed the stay thoroughly. They loved the medieval artifacts and paintings.

Stay here!
What an incredible experience! Totally worth it! The antiques are also incredible. The WiFi is awesome!
Great homeowner. Very kind, personable, and this castle is a one-of-a-kind property filled with all kinds of treasures. Really excited to make this an annual vacation for us.
Such a beautiful castle to stay in. Love all the antiques. Great location right above Schweitzer. Loved taking the chair lift up and seeing the magnificent view above. Really good communication with the owner and flowers and cute dragon cake for us.
The only negative was a woodpecker on the roof early this a.m

Magical Castle Memories
This was such a fabulous experience for our family! It was so unique & the owner brought us a dragon cake! We will remember this castle vacation for years to come! I have never stayed in a place where I felt I was in another time period! And breath taking views! Just wonderful!
We were lucky enough to stay here during a big winter storm! This property is a magical castle and our group loved staying here. Its about a 20 minute walk from the resort or a 5 minute drive. The hot tub was relaxing and the place was comfortable. Just make sure to have a good car for driving in the snow since it can get icy. Thank you guys for an incredible stay ~
