There is also a beautiful Hot Springs Grandee hot tub to relax in – nestled in the woods with a view of the lake. The Castle is one of 3 homes on a beautiful, private drive that winds through the woods and dunes to the lake. Bordering the property to the north there are also 57 acres of pristine dunes available for hiking and exploring.
While vacationing here you won't want to miss out on the experiences that the beautiful Silver Lake Sand Dunes have to offer!

In addition to family vacations or couples looking for a getaway, this is a great environment for board meetings, team building activities and leadership retreats. This is a great escape, but you can also stay as connected and productive as you want to be with high-speed fiber internet and two smart TV’s!

The house was perfect for a family getaway. Large enough for everyone to have their own private space and the kids absolutely loved the castle.

Our family of 13 had a very enjoyable stay at “The Castle “. Lots of indoor space for a variety of activities. Kitchen and pantry had everything we needed to feed our crowd. We appreciated all the bathrooms throughout the 4 floors. We also loved the decks, especially the one off the kitchen for dining, grilling or hanging out. The beach was spacious and private, with access to beach chairs, kayaks, and a paddle board….which was enjoyed by most of our crew. There were many opportunities to sit and enjoy the amazing sunsets. We hope to return, it was a great time and place for our family gathering.
