We had a 20 minute drive since we stayed in Wolfeboro. We got there expecting to pay $5 (someone had briefly told us about it). When we heard it was $16 per person... we laughed. The lady told us there was a hiking trail about a mile down and that we wouldn't be able to see the castle... but we... More

The castle is interesting; the story unique; but the best thing about the Castle in the Clouds are the views. Spectular; awe inspiring view of Lake Winnepausakee. For me, it is one of those places like Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco.... mesmerizing. When it was time to go I didn't want to leave..... More

The grounds are extensive so after you walk through the Castle itself, it becomes a wonderful place to spend a quiet day. Because of the size, you are not stuck in a crowd at any time. The views of the Lake are awe inspiring. More

The story of the Castle in the Clouds estate is very intriguing, and is great to hear on tour while you pass through the mansion itself. It has breathtaking views, and impeccable grounds. A very popular place for weddings do to its gorgeous location, however I believe they only allow one caterer (last I knew) and is not equal to... More

Just imagine the amount of wealth and foresight it took to build this craftsman style 'castle' back in it's day (I think it was 1914). The amenities alone for it's time were staggering.
