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.

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.

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!

Thank you for sharing this beautiful 'Castle Gatehouse' with us. We truly enjoyed our stay. Lots of laughter and memories were created this weekend. We couldn't have imagined a better way to spend our 4th of July weekend.

We were looking for a peaceful, out-of-the-way escape, to unwind from our daily routine. "We found it", this mountaintop retreat is what you need to escape from the resorts below on the lake. The handbuilt castle is a labor of love by the gracious owners: John & Yvonne. We will return soon.

John & Yvonne,
Thank you so much for giving us the privilege to celebrate our one- year anniversary at your home. The festivities couldn't have been more beautiful with your castle as the backdrop. Our families had the best time. We hope to be back in the future for anniversaries to come.

Thank you for welcoming us into your incredible home and helping make our friend's proposal magical. Ever since I was very little I've wanted to live in a giant 'purple' castle. (I even drew out blueprints that I still have.) This is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to. Thank you for making this dream come true for my friends (and us!). I will treasure our trip to Highlands Castle for the rest of my life.
Love as always,
Arianna & Chelsey
PS: Your dogs are adorable!

Our 3-day stay was amazing! Your castle is spectacular and the views were out of this world. This was the best weekend we have had in a long time. We feel so blessed to have you share this beautiful place with us. We just booked our dates for next year to experience it all over again. Thank you!
