Mark & I can't thank you both enough! From the minute you greeted us at the door, John, we have truly loved our time here. The tour of the castle and the story behind it is something I will never forget. I have been planning my next trip with all my family since I arrived! You are both very special people and we look forward to a lifelong relationship!
Love,
Tammy & Mark

When Dawn told me she had found a castle for us to stay in... I told her let's go! Little did I know how authentic the castle would be. Your vision for this retreat supersedes anything present in North America and should be on the must 'to-do' list for everybody. They will not be disappointed. We also loved the time you took to have coffee with us and have our 'therapy' session to open up about your thoughts and excellent vision. Here's to both of you and never-ending health to enjoy life's latter years. I hope our paths cross again! All our best!

We so enjoyed our stay in the Castle Cottage. We've stayed in lake view rooms in Lake George/Bolton Landing many times, but this is by far the most spectacular view of the lake and mountains that we've ever had. What an amazing sight when you drive up the road and the castle comes into view! You've done a beautiful job creating a special retreat. My husband's face said it all when we pulled up to the castle. I wanted to do something special for his birthday and there's no doubt I achieved my goal. We had a wonderful time here with our friends just chatting and enjoying the view. You are wonderful hosts and we enjoyed talking to you. I'm sure we'll see you again! All the Best!

An absolutely amazing, magical, and fantastic home you have. The both of you opened your hearts and home in a way that is nothing less than a blessing. I arrived with no idea what to expect and my experience began with the most inviting feeling. Really, I could write a book just like the awesome conversations I had with you, John. I wholeheartedly appreciate every minute I had in this castle. I thought this would be a once-in-a-lifetime getaway... Now I am going to make it a point to return! And I'm also going to share with everyone I know. A million thank you's! Brent

The Miller's had an AMAZING weekend at Highlands Castle. Chip & Ellen came from York, PA. Our son Ryan & his wife Sarah came from Providence, RI. The 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed Bolton Landing, Lake George, and your fabulous hospitality. A VERY SPECIAL TIME with spectacular views and a relaxing time with family. We look forward to our next visit!

Thank you for opening the gates to this beautiful castle in the sky. Christina and I had an amazing time sitting out and overlooking Lake George. This view makes it impossible to leave! The castle has so much detail everywhere you look. And now Highlands Castle will be one detail in our story that will never be forgotten. Cheers, Jon & Christina

Your castle is beautiful and the views are breathtaking. We saw and heard an owl while we were eating dinner on the terrace! We couldn't have found a better place to celebrate Wesley's birthday. We had a wonderful time and we hope to come back next year! Jen & Wesley

John and his wife Yvonne are two of the most wonderful people we have ever met. Their home is absolutely incredible and the story behind it is even more incredible. There are not enough words to explain how wonderful our stay was at this hidden gem. The views are breathtaking. It was an amazing getaway from the hectic city life. We look forward to going back again to this magical place!

Imagine yourself on the patio of your private castle. The view of Lake George is breathtaking. The sunset is spectacular. John was an amazing host. The home is beautiful and we will surely be back.
