This is in such disrepair, that it is almost not worth the visit. It is really sad. To top it off, the guide was waaaay to wordy.

Although the building is crumbling and damp is ruining the plasterwork and furnishings, you can still see frescoed ceilings, stained glass windows, elegant furniture, Tiffany chandeliers and objects d'art from all over the world. Unfortunately our guide, although friendly and exuberant, was not well informed, and the volume of misinformation detracted from the true history of the building. The Castle...

See this place before it crumbles. It could be so much more if only they had the money to restore it. Tour was so-so, but the artifacts are beautiful.
Other reviews are quick to mention the less-than-perfect state of the exterior of this mansion-- "castle" is a bit of a stretch-- but the architecture and interior treasures are well worth the price of the tour. Unique features, such as extravagant woodwork, a split chimney with a window, and an acid-etched glass, make this a beautiful and intriguing home. No...

A tree is gowing in the side of the building between bricks. The once lovely interior...

The driveway was a mess and parking is a free for all. We...

Tour guide says they do a tour in October for the thrill-seakers! I may go back.
Stopped in for a quick tour of the castle. The tour guide was so friendly and knowledgeable I could have spent and entire day. I wish I was closer so that I could attend one of events that they offer. They sound like it must be a lot of fun.
The story of the doctor and his wife, and the military man who rescued their home, and the dedication of Colonel Wilson's family, are amazing; and so is the Castle with its many lovely stained glass windows, the beautiful tiled veranda porch with the mountain view, and the well-preserved furnishings from around the world--we were wowed by it, and returned...
