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! ##### k.leonard1906@sbcglobal.net L. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rosalie G.

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! ##### Rosalie G.

Sep 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy My family of 9 adults met at The Castle and found The Castle and the furnishings were very fun and eccentric. It is a great place for a large family to gather with plenty of room and things to do like fishing, trolling around the pond, outdoor fire pit, walking, cooking, playing games and being outdoors. Debbie was helpful in showing us around. The exterior could use a little maintenance/TLC. The observatory had many flies inside, so we were disappointed that we didn’t get to use it, otherwise had a great time. ##### Michael D.

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! ##### Nick C.

We had a great family gathering . The younger kids loved the beach area and taking alittle ride on the pontoon boat . They caught a couple of fish and enjoyed cooking smores at the outdoor fire area. The kitchen was great for cooking big meals and serving areas great. The kitchen was fully stocked with pots and pans etc. The house is beautiful in every way . We plan to come back ! ##### joni s.
