Castle House is great

Had a bunch of old friends get together for a fall weekend of golf and Packers game. We couldn't have been happier with our stay. Very comfortable house for a large group, very clean and perfect location which was close to everything yet private. Host made check in a breeze. Definitely would recommend and would stay again.

It's Called The Castle For a Reason

Can't say enough about this place. We enjoyed staying here. We did spend a lot of time at the touristy towns on the Bay side but enjoyed being on the lake side for seclusion and traffic reasons. Bay side is only 15 mins away.

Family getaway

We truly enjoyed our stay at the castle! We have been vacationing in Door County for many years. We loved the location of the property, close to towns and other activities. The kitchen area was a great size along with seating for ten! We loved the fireplace and being able to look out over Lake Michigan. The family area and ample bedrooms gave us plenty of room to spend time together.

Beautiful home right on Lake Michigan

We had the perfect weekend in this very lovely, comfortable and roomy home that accommodated our group of various ages. Great kitchen with plenty of dining space. Nice array of bedrooms and baths. Various cozy rooms for people to gather . The sauna was most enjoyable addition . Beautiful setting on shore of Lake Michigan with a yard that all enjoyed. Overal, terrific experience, and can’t wait to return.

Peaceful

Very roomy. There was a perfect number of bedrooms and bathrooms for our large family. Loved the kitchen area and eating space. Landscaping and grounds need to be tidied up though. Please provide firewood for future guests.

Door County getaway

The Castle was an absolutely gorgeous place! It is so spacious and had everything we needed for our stay. There were 9 of us total and the Castle gave us all plenty of personnel space and shared space! Being right on Lake Michigan made for gorgeous sunrises and some fun exploring-the shoreline is very rocky which can be hard to navigate if you have mobility issues. Location is just a short drive to explore all that Door County offers! We will definitely be back to Door County and will book the Castle again!

Amazing Castle in Door County

We had a truly wonderful stay at the Castle House in Bailey's Harbor. The house is gorgeous and was perfect for our large extended family. The kitchen is huge and well appointed. Plenty of space for family dinners and hanging out. The bedrooms, beds and bathrooms were clean and comfortable. We loved that the house was located on the lake, but was secluded yet close to all activities in Door County. The night sky was very dark and clear. We enjoyed exploring the rocky beach and walking on the hiking trail nearby. Check in was easy and owner is very responsive. Highly recommend the Castle House!

Lovely home and a fun family vacation.

We really enjoyed our stay at this private, clean, beautiful home. Some highlights – the number of king bedrooms, 3 of which had an en suite, the sauna, the game room with a pool table, the steam shower, two refrigerators, and two large tables in the kitchen and dining room. The kitchen was large and accommodated several cooks at the same time. While our experience overall was very positive and we had a great time, there were a few things that could have made it even better. The number of towels in the bathrooms was lacking, especially hand towels and washcloths. The exterior areas were not as well maintained as the house itself. The lounge chairs near the water were not usable. We did enjoy sitting outside on the patio and grilling several days. The owner was very responsive and accommodating.
