Thank you both so much for your hospitality during our stay at your magnificent castle home. This is exactly the stay we had hoped for, and these will be memories that our family will cherish for years to come. We hope to return again sometime! We wish you both and your family the best.

Thank you very much for making my fairytale come true. Ralph & I were lucky to come upon Highlands Castle to spend our "mini-moon" here at Lake George. Absolutely beautiful! We had an amazing time - just what we needed - relaxation. Enjoy the rest of the winter!
See you again,

This place has been such an amazing and unique experience! The Gatehouse & Highlands Castle are some of the coolest homes I've ever seen! The attention to detail in both homes is magnificent. Thank you for your kindness & generosity to our family, and for giving us a vacation to always remember! We will certainly be back! Best view of Lake George I've ever seen!

P.S. Thank you for sharing the story of the stained glass doors! What an amazing story! We'll keep in touch!

Best,

John & Yvonne,
"Living" in a castle - for just a couple of days - was an incredible experience. But even that can't compare to spending time with the people who have built and maintained this dream world overlooking Lake George. This was meant to be a magical weekend for our twin sons on their 21st birthday. It turned out to be better than we ever hoped or expected... All because of you two. Thank you for your hospitality and all the effort you put forth to make this time so special.
All our best,
Mark & Leslie Phelps

Dear John & Yvonne,
Thank you for making our 21st so remarkable. This will be a memory we will never forget. We appreciate the hospitality of your castle, too, and couldn't ask for anything more amazing than this! You both are extremely kind, nice, and thoughtful. Thank you again!

This castle is GORGEOUS! We're so fortunate to have found this place and even more fortunate to have you as our host! We wish you the best! Yuhan & Zihao from California

I've always been fascinated with medieval culture and John captured it so well. The term "attention to detail" does not do the Highlands Castle justice. John and his family built a place to make dreams come true and that is exactly what it did for us.

The castle is well maintained and John and his wife Yvonne even went through the trouble to set the table so my husband and I could have a "royal dinner".

The town of Bolton Landing has great food (every place we ate was delicious) and Lake George has to be the top 3 most beautiful lakes in the country (likely #1). Fantastic accommodations, wonderful hosts, and a fun location! We highly recommend :)

Thank you for sharing your home with us. Our time here was truly a fairy tale come true!
