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!

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.

Everything was fantastic!

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!

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.

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. :)
