Multigenerational getaway

What a great place to stay for the entire family. Everyone had something to do. The pond was great and not too far from the house which was an added benefit.

Great property with lots to do

10 guys stayed for a total 3 nights for a fantasy football draft. Plenty of stuff to do at the property from golf, to fishing, to horseshoes, to beach and swimming. Highly recommend the property. Beds were comfortable also.

Wonderful experience for the entire family! The grandchildren loved everything about it. The pontoon boat, lake and beach were amazing as well as walking the trails and playing knights and dragons. Hosts were very kind and responsive to all questions. So much space and fun things to do! Very unique and worthwhile experience.

Wonderful Birthday Trip

My kids enjoyed “playing castle” all weekend. The other adults and I enjoyed the peaceful setting. Everything was better in person. We would return.

A castle in the fields

The castle was very unique & interesting. One of the favorite things was that each bedroom had its own attached bathroom. That will be hard to beat at other VRBO's we may stay in the future. :)

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!

It is as amazing as is stated!

We were extremely comfortable. Two families had 3 kids each, then there were four additional adults and we were all comfy. There are more than enough areas to get away and read or relax away for the others if needed. There are enough things to do to keep the kids entertained. It is a wonderful get away place. I would suggest if you have a few older adults to bring a step stool the beds are really, really high! We are already talking about doing it again!

Fun family Thanksgiving retreat

Our family had a wonderful time at this interesting, unusual home. The kids loved all the fun decor, nooks and crannies, and extensive stomping grounds outside. They absolutely adored the “secret“ projection room; it became their main gathering spot. The adults mostly congregated in the large, comfortable living room, where we kept a wood-burning fire going almost continuously. The kitchen is excellent for large groups. We appreciated that there were plenty of plates, bowls, glasses, coffee mugs, and silverware to accommodate our group of 13. Plus it was stocked with every imaginable appliance and gadget a chef could want! The beds were very comfortable, with snowy white linens and nice warm covers. We were also obsessed with the massage chair in the master bedroom! It’s a huge house and very hard to keep the entire place spotlessly clean, I’m sure. It could stand a deep cleaning at some point, but overall it was nice enough. We would definitely come back to this fun castle!

We’re very disappointed that the observatory was not open. And the Beach was in unusable do to over growth weeds and grass in the sand! Cats were very nice and had some great time by the fire pit and on the boat!

Everything about the process from booking to check-out was great. Mitch and Debbie were very communicative, and the property itself was perfect for a large group gathering. The castle is enormous and extremely well-kept, and the outdoor space is beautiful. I highly recommend staying here!
