The trip up the mountain is worth it alone - and if you go up the back way (Ossipee Park Rd), it is free. The paid ride up goes through some great scenery though, including pull offs and a waterfall. The tour of the castle is extra, but you get to see rich life of the early 20'th century.

It was a interesting place to see. The views are beautiful. The ride to the house is really nice as well. It's worth spending an afternoon there.

My husband and I were on vacation in NH and were trying to decide what we wanted to do when we came across this listing (thanks to everyone for the great tips, you're so right!!).

Castle in the Clouds has an absolutely SPECTACULAR view. When you first get there, pull off early as you climb the mountain and park so you can walk out on the trail and boardwalk to the waterfall.

The ride up is scenic before you get there as you can walk to some pretty waterfalls and stop at a scenic overlook. But the view from the yard and from within the home itself is so worth it. Interesting history and so glad that a community took their time and money to make this an enjoyable tour for others.... More

We have gone to breakfast and lunch at the castle stables and had an ice cream cone at castle creamery. There is... More

The staff were very helpful in making this day special for our family and guests. Fantastic views of the big lake.

It was a rainy , cloudy day, but we thoroughly enjoyed the trip to the castle- The waterfalls and the view from the castle are gorgeous- The garden terrace was a hidden gem/ The inside of the castle was Ok, was interesting,,but the view, the restaurant, the waterfalls, the beautiful landscaping all was totally worth this day trip.
