Pre Thanksgiving respite of Joy
We had a wonderful stay at this special place. Property was clean and every necessity provided as noted in the description. Plenty of books, dvds, puzzles, pool table, covered outdoor hot tub. and board games for one rainy day. The castle is a very unique VRBO with plenty of room for everybody. Tge property is exoansive with pond, trail, and a great fire pit under the stars. We hope to return again and are thankful that we were able to enjoy a restful few days.

Girls trip
Castle is a unique accommodation and was cool to check off a bucket list trip for our group of 5 best friends. We came to celebrate a birthday and in memory of a best girlfriend who has passed. It was a really good stay and we’d recommend the castle as well as would return to stay again.

Great experience
We all had a blast. Did some horse back riding, hiking, jacuzzi and tons of food. We would love to come back out in the spring. We left the kitchen cleaner than we arrived and wish we would have brought more towels; bath and jacuzzi ones. All in all great and high recommend.
