Matt decided to surprise me for my 27th birthday and made me feel like a queen. Waking up to the lake view was a beautiful experience and exploring the area was a great adventure. We enjoyed going to Fort Ticonderoga on one of our day trips, but this castle was absolutely my favorite part!

Thank you so much for the opportunity to stay at your beautiful home. Highlands Castle is a special place to your family, we know. Now it is a special place for us as well! We hope to return again to this beautiful castle.

It's our 50th anniversary. I wanted something special & memorable. We couldn't have found a better place for those criteria! This place is awesome and its history is phenomenal. We truly loved being here and it won't be forgotten (until dementia sets in!)

John & Yvonne,
To say the two of you and your castle are AMAZING would be an understatement. No words can describe how wonderful our stay was. The world needs more kind and caring people like you. John, Yvonne & Highlands Castle will forever be in our hearts.

Thank you for one of the most memorable vacations we've had! Everyone describes this place as "special" and I understand why. I will miss you guys, the dogs, and the view. We can't wait to come back. Thank you so much for everything! Love, Greg & Heather

We loved everything about our experience at the Castle Gatehouse. From the magical accommodations to the personalized hospitality. John and Yvonne went above and beyond to make our vacation experience memorable and one of a kind. We will always come back. We have never had a vacation experience like this one and will return regularly. There wasn't a thing we didn't like. Our stay was absolutely perfect!

What a beautiful weekend here at your astonishing castle. Such a stunning view of the lake! Your extraordinary place made from a promise, becoming a dream come true for your family, and us too. Your heartfelt journey in building this was so riveting. All who visit here will have a storybook fairytale memory to treasure. Thank you both for your generosity and we look forward to sharing more fun stories with you both again one day.

"By wisdom, a house is built, and through understanding, it is established through knowledge, its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures". Proverbs 24:3-4

You both are such beautiful people, felt like we were visiting family. We can't wait to share our memories of this weekend with the rest of our family.
Blessings,

I thought the whole thing was exceptional. The view is amazing and I loved it. The castle itself is beautiful and the beds are amazing (so comfortable!). The rooms are beautiful and nice to be in! But my favorite part was definitely Yvonne and John and their dogs! I loved everything here!
