Om boendet

Holiday inställning för familjeföreningar-Thanksgiving, jul och nyår!

Den 10.000 kvadratfot Castino Lakeview Mansion sitter högt uppe på en bluff med fantastisk utsikt över Lake Michigan. Det är bara några steg ner till den vidsträckta stranden och marinaen, med sandvolleybolls nät och en lekplats. Huset kombinerar känslan från förr är överflöd med alla moderna bekvämligheter. Hemmet byggdes 1912 av kol och frakt baron JP Reiss på de stora sjöarna, som sparar ingen kostnad. Funktionerna inkluderar mahogny trim, pipa matsalen tak, och prydnads plåster, tillsammans med järn, sten och tegel. Det finns 10 sovrum i huvudbyggnaden, plus en mängd bunkar och sovar soffor, så det kan bekvämt sova en kombination av barn och vuxna upp till totalt 24. (Det finns ytterligare två sovrum i tränare huset också finns att hyra, inklusive ett bad, kök och allrum.) Huvudbyggnaden har 10 badrum, 11 eldstäder, 11 plattskärms-TV, Wi-Fi och 2 uteplats eldstad tabeller. Det finns ett fullt utrustat kök plus verktygspantry (dubbel ugn, två mikrofoner, två full-size frig's) (plus ett pentry på tredje våningen), tillsammans med en gasgrill på verandan med utsikt över Lake Michigan, stranden och fyren på punkten.

Den lägre nivån är en lekplats för unga och gamla, bland annat en fullständig mahogny bar, fotboll, bordtennis, biljard, plus tvättmöjligheter. Det finns ingen anledning att någonsin lämna huset, grunderna eller stranden.

Men om du vill ge sig ut ... Det finns massor att göra i Sheboygan, vald som nummer ett ställe att bilda familj i Amerika av Bloomberg Business Week och Readers Digest. Det är också känt som "Malibu i Mellanvästern," och surfa Sheboygan är ett lämpligt motto! Vindsurfing, yolo boarding, kite surfing, motor båtliv, segling, djuphavsfiske och god gammaldags simning är bra sätt att dra nytta av naturens gåva. Vill du gå på upptäcktsfärd av vatten? Vi har 4 kajaker tillgängliga för dig. Tre kvarter söder om sjön är en exceptionell YMCA, och en mil ner på lakefront är ett inomhus äventyrsbad med dagen som finns kvar året runt. Nära vattenparken är en rad av butiker, och hela vägen är floden promenad, med restauranger / barer, affärer och fiskare (och sina fångster) galore.

Rubrik västerut från herrgården är pittoreska ännu full service staden Sheboygan. Den Weil Performing Arts Center, Kohler Art Center och en fantastisk barnens museum är bara en rask promenad bort. Massor av fina matställen samt pub grub är också inom gångavstånd och säkert inom cykelavstånd. Vi har 9 cyklar på plats för din användning, med ytterligare cyklar tillgängliga via lokala hyrbutiker. Vandring på Kohler State Park är en annan aktiv strävan, tillsammans med längdskidåkning på lederna i stan eller vid Kettle Moraine State Park Trails.

Om golf är din grej, är detta platsen för dig! Vårt läge är mycket bekvämt för att komma åt golf i världsklass, bland annat The American Club i Kohler, The Bull och Whistling Straits. Road America Racing i Elkhart Lake ligger i närheten. Och listan kan göras lång! Summan av kardemumman är att det finns mycket att göra, med en välkomnande, charmig och avkopplande hem att återvända till på natten. Du kan kasta hamburgare på grillen, beställa ut för pizza, eller hyra en lokal kock för att tillgodose dina måltider för den ultimata avkopplingen.

Det finns något för alla - från simning till golf, från spa till sporter! Du kommer att känna som en kunglighet samt rätt hemma på herrgården. Kom och njut av denna unika get-away med familjen, på ett företags reträtt, med din golf kompisar - möjligheterna är oändliga!

Great for family or any group

Lovely historic home!!! Our extended family stayed when we were in town for a wedding and this beautiful property was perfect with all of the bedrooms and bathrooms. So nice for us each to have our own space and such solidly built - very quiet even with a group. The spacious yard with its magnificent views, seating areas, heaters and fire pits were fabulous. We really enjoyed sitting in the sun room with the eastern view of the lake and amazing sunrise view. Had a bit of time to explore the great beach with easy stairway access. Chris and the property manager, Emily were extremely accommodating, and responsive. We loved having the opportunity to stay in this spectacular home and enjoyed taking in the stunning architecture and lovely decor. Only wished we had stayed longer!

Magical Mansion

This is an amazing house! Every room has its own unique character. We felt like we were living the life of Downton Abbey (without the servants). The yard, patio, and outside views are just as amazing. A great place for a family reunion!

Fun for a big group

Location is very nice with great views. House is beautiful but horribly cluttered with knickknacks everywhere. Three full floors plus a basement. Lots of games for inside and out. Easy access to a great public beach. Owners and staff communicate well and are very helpful.

Family Time

We enjoyed our stay at the mansion. Everything we needed was there. It was so great that there were enough bedrooms and baths for our whole family. The outside area was fabulous. The weather was beautiful, but Lake Michigan’s water temperature was too cold to swim in. Fun was had by all.

Unbelievable location and home

It was amazing to discover that a home with such incredible grandeur could also be a very cozy place. This is actually the second time I have stayed here, we had a family reunion here last summer which was one for the ages (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GN8PhZFCZ2g). This time I caught the last day of the PGA at Whistling Straits, but we came back early to enjoy the end from the TV in the living room. Their covered patio with spectacular marina, lighthouse and Lake Michigan views, now has heaters, making it an outdoor three seasons hangout spot. The owners are very friendly, helpful and surprisingly casual given they rent this pristine, historic home to large groups. We'll be back!

Remarkable Mansion on the Shore of Lake Michigan

This beautifully preserved historic mansion on the shore of Lake Michigan was the perfect setting for hosting my family reunion and a small wedding. The rooms are comfortable and there are several common rooms to enjoy. I'd highly recommend for a group of friends or family wanting to share time together.

40th anniversary trip

The size and interest in this authentic mansion made for great lodging for our family. The backyard and patio space is amazing as are the views. We had small grandchildren with us and they were very comfortable in the home and felt welcomed especially with the games and play room downstairs. The beach was convenient and it was a great beach! The Castino’s had every amenity you would need and were generous in sharing it all with us such as a beach toys, beach chairs, towels and a wagon. TVs throughout the house and good climate control were appreciated. We had a great time!

Perfect Getaway

First, the communication with the owner and manager were great. They gave plenty of information and ideas as well as making sure the process went smoothly. Huge house which was perfect for 3 families and kids. Plenty of room for all. Really cool old mansion provided some history lessons to the kids! The location is beautiful right across from the lake. The views were awesome! Overall we'd recommend this house to anyone who needs space and beds for a large group.

Our week at Castino Mansion

I normally do not write reviews, but our family enjoyed our stay at the Castino Manson so much I decided to make an exception. We have a large family of 7 children and for the past 20+ years we have been going on a yearly vacation. We have gone to the Outerbanks a few times, to New York, Tennessee Mountains, Hawaii, Fort Worth, to name a few. As you can imagine we normally rent a large house, and we know what are good and bad accommodations. This was our first visit to Wisconsin. On our way back from our trip our children said that if we don't find a good place next year, we should go back to the Castino Mansion. Our stay was the end of July. The entire house was very clean; the bedrooms were large; the common areas we're spacious; and the outside sitting areas were outstanding. The first 2 days you could hear the lake waves from the back porch. I got a few pages read in my book before I fell asleep on one of the chairs. The basement is large with numerous games for adults and children including a pool table, foosball, poker table, and tons of table games. There's a large TV area also in the basement where the younger children watched movies. The beach is a short walk away, and if you sit on the porch, you can hear people on the beach. The beach was not crowded. The back yard is big enough to have a family baseball game. We had never been to Sheboygan. It is a neat clean little city. One night they had a food truck party at the park. Another day they had a farmers market in the town square. It has a neat little downtown that you can walk along and visit shops. There are lots of good restaurants in the town. There is also a Starbucks. The Castinos provide a number of bicycles for peoples use. The parents of the older children were not afraid to allow their children to ride around the neighborhood. I am the grandfather of the family, and unfortunately the one that pays the vacation bills. In the 20+ years of our vacations, I would have to say this was one of the more relaxing vacations we have had. It is a large old mansion, and if you don't mind that kind of setting you will not be disappointed. Chris Castino is also great to work with, and Lisa the manager is only a couple blocks away. Like I said, I normally do not write reviews, and I have not been paid to write this one.

unbelievable magnificent home

We had a family reunion here and it was special for many reasons. First of all our german family roots are in Sheboygan and brought back many memories of events here in our childhood.Secondly our great grandfather was the leading contractor in Sheboygan in the late 1800's and early 1900's and built the Reiss mansion, now known as the Castino home.We really appreciated the expertice and care that went into this construction , Staying there and knowing that your great grandfather built this work of wonder 105 years earlier made it extra special. Our thanks and appreciation to the Castinos on their restoration also.

Owner Communication & Feedback

I wanted to take a moment to review my experience with this owner during our planning and booking of this beautiful vacation rental. We spotted this property when searching the internet for a nice home that could accommodate a large group for a family reunion. Everyone instantly said this home was it and we contacted the owner to make arrangements for booking. We are a large family spread all across the country so picking dates and making travel plans for so many families became our biggest challenge. I sent multitudes of emails to the owner checking on dates and keeping them informed of how our planning was going. The owner was quick to respond and completely understood how difficult it was to plan a large gathering when some family members were unsure of which dates would work best for their schedules. I just really wish to thank the owners for working with us on dates and on the number of people who would attend as both our dates and our number seem to change frequently. If I shot out and email to the owner requesting any type of information this owner responded almost immediately. I truly appreciated the fact that all communication came directly from the owner. The owner also provides contact numbers for staff and property managers prior to arrival. This will be our first choice for future family gatherings.

"Can we come back next year?" asked the kids . . .

We (a group of 24 -- 12 adults and 12 children ranging in age from 15 years old to 6-month-old twins) had an amazing time at the Castino Mansion this past summer. Believe it or not, the mansion is more beautiful than it is on the website. And it is absolutely, spotlessly clean -- no small feat given its size and Victorian-style decor. We all felt like we stepped onto a movie set -- or a life-sized replica of the mansion in the game of Clue! It is located just across the street from a lovely, uncrowded public beach where we all enjoyed swimming and strolling. The patio (with a grill) was perfect for our nightly outdoor dinners. Even with everyone in the house -- and most of the kids in the supremely well-appointed game room in the basement -- you could find a quiet place to read, rest, or just take in the wonderful Lake Michigan view. Needless to say, I recommend this home wholeheartedly.

Om värden

Värdens profilbild
Hailing from the Chicago suburbs but getting closer and closer to that empty nest time in our lives, my husband and I had started thinking about what and where our next chapter might be. We have run a home services business on Chicago's North Shore for over 30 years, everything from painting to carpentry to carpet cleaning. But as our youngest approaches the end of her high school years, we've been talking about semi-retiring while still keeping busy enough to keep ourselves out of trouble and being able to put the third daughter through college. One wedding down with two to go means that we aren't quite ready to sit back and knit baby booties yet.

Varför värden valde detta boende

So one fateful weekend last summer, after seeing one daughter off on a mission service trip and another off to a quarter of studying abroad (a flurried week of preparation!) we thought we'd treat ourselves to a quick get-away. My husband dug out an old flyer on a Bed and Breakfast from his files, and off we headed to Sheboygan. Not only did we enjoy our stay immensely, we noticed the For Sale sign. After several cocktails, we were convinced that buying this was the right thing to do! Of course, we had to discuss it again the next morning. Hmmm. We still liked the idea. Our second night out to dinner reignited the burning desire to pursue it. Yes, we were still interested the next morning. We hurried home to crunch some numbers. Our friends and family (and banker) all thought we were nuts--, but the next thing we knew we were making an offer on the mansion. Not only did the house call to us, but the area evokes such a peaceful and less harried lifestyle. We've made several trips there in the meantime, and continue to fall more and more in love with the area. My husband, an avid golfer, is just drooling to get out on The Bull, Blackwolf Run and Whistling Straits. I might have to take up golf if I ever hope to see him again. In the meantime, I'm going to have a blast putzing around this amazing home and making it our own. The previous owners took a masterpiece that had gotten rundown and transformed it into a showcase some years ago. It's stunning! We have plans to finish the basement, turning it into a full tavern/rec-room/playroom. We can't wait for groups to enjoy it together. We look forward to moving up here full-time when our gal flies the coop but until then we will be enjoying the view, the town and the many fun things the area has to offer. I still can't believe that a spur of the moment trip to a place that happened to have availability has sent us this direction. I toyed with naming the place SERENDIPITY, but Lakeview Mansion says it all!

Vad som gör detta boende unikt

The views can't be duplicated, the proximity to everything you could want to do makes getting around so easy, and the house itself is beyond description. I feel like I jumped in a time machine and ended up as royalty. Even the carriage house apartment above the garage (formerly the servants' quarters) is oozing with charm. There are so many areas to curl up with a good book, enjoy a cup of coffee, hang out with friends and family, or play games. You can stay together but keep your own schedules, given the privacy and the layout of the home. If you want to sleep in--go for it. Grandma might be in the kitchen whipping up pancakes for the gang as the partiers stagger up from the bar. Into research? What a great excuse to eat and drink your way through Sheboygan and the surrounding area!
