Me and a group of my friends had a mens retreat at this location, we saw it online and thought it was amazing and when we saw it in person it was even better. Everything was very good, our stay was very enjoyable. Really good and fun amenities!Short note: We didn't have enough paper towels :).
My family had our Christmas celebration at The Castle and the place delivered. The Castle is a beautiful and spacious place that more than accommodated our needs. There was room for everyone (13 adults & 2 infants) and plenty of things to do. Our stay at The Castle was excellent and made for the most enjoyable time!
We loved the castle. It was a perfect location for a birthday getaway with our family and best friend's family. The kids enjoyed the paddle boat and game rooms. Everyone enjoyed large T.V.s and lazy susan on the table for meals. Even though it was January we enjoyed doing a polar plunge in the lake. We will definitely be back.
We had an amazing time! There was something for everyone. We fished, BBQ, made use of the fire pit and hot tub, and that was just outside. Inside the pool table, bar, arcade, and 3 living room areas and six bathrooms, provided plenty of space and activity. And then there was the kitchen.... a once in a lifetime experience for many of us.
I truly cannot say enough good things about this property and the incredible property manager, Emily. If you think the photos are stunning, just wait until you see it in person—it’s even more breathtaking. Every detail of the home is thoughtfully designed, making it the perfect retreat for a large group to relax, connect, and recharge.The hot tub was the cherry on top, offering the perfect way to unwind under the stars. And the lake view in the morning? Absolutely magical—calm, serene, and the kind of peaceful start to the day you didn’t know you needed.The kitchen was impressively well-stocked for a group, with all the utensils and cookware we needed to prepare meals with ease. Everything about our stay was seamless, comfortable, and beyond our expectations. We will absolutely be back!
JessicaWe chose The Castle to hold our destination microwedding. We brought 24 people from Colorado, and the weekend couldn't have gone better. The venue was absolutely PERFECT. The amenities were limitless, the beds were SO comfortable, the host was so great with communication and very flexible with our small event. The location is so beautiful, and we with perfect weather, we were able to hold our small ceremony on the balcony overlooking the lake. There is something for everyone, and so much space. Some favorites from our party was the master bathroom tub, toilet, and shower, the LED bathroom mirrors which made getting ready so much better, the multitude of kitchen tools, the availability of bags and laundry soap, the glassware, the coffee/tea station, the hot tub, the availability of slippers to accommodate the no shoe rule. We hope to come back in the future to celebrate an anniversary. Thank you for making our wedding an absolutely unforgettable experience.
The home was beautiful and right on the lake as described. The bedrooms were accurately portrayed the one titled "living room 1" was a beautiful round room with a bed but it did not have a door and was open to the upstairs which carried quite a bit of noise from below- we should have noticed the difference in room name but didn't. All the other rooms were as described. The entire home was stocked with a starter pack of all you could need and had many dishes, pans and kitchen gadgets to use. The kids loved the dock and the use of water toys/paddleboard. The downstairs movie room, poker table, pool table, arcade games, bar and Karaoke machine were huge fun after the long days swimming! There were plenty of fridges and pantry space to hold food. There was a lot of space to spread out and also plenty of shared spaces to gather together in a big group!
We only rented the main Castle home, not the cabin on the same property. I could see it being awkward if someone else was in the cabin while you were in the home as it is close. So you may want to check on that.
All in all this home is a beautiful place on a quite and clean lake. The host and owners were easy to work with and helped when a small need arose without a second hesitation. Thank you for letting our group stay!
An amazing home to stay in if you have the opportunity! Absolutely tranquil and so peaceful. Can’t ask for a better view and the property manager was very communicative and helpful. Definitely recommend this stay. Came fully equipped with water sports, plenty of towels for both indoor and outdoor use. We also utilized the cabin and it was very helpful to have for our extra guests. Can’t ask for much better!
