Castle in the Clouds

We had a beautiful day exploring this lovely place on pur 51st anniversary. I always wanted to go here as a child, but never made it. It was on my bucket list. We loved our tour of the basement to see the inner workings! The views were amazing!

This is a great place to visit if you're in southern New Hampshire. We stopped there as part of our RV Fantasy tour and really glad that they planned this excursion on the way to our next campground. This Mansion is not really all that big but built in a beautiful location on top of mountain. It was built in 1913 and has been very well restored. Kind of like the Biltmore in North Carolina this place had all the modern conveniences of the time. Anyway you park in one location, walk up get your tickets, and then catch a trolley to the top of the mountain. After initial orientation speech / video it's a self-paced tour through the mansion. Once you're done you can either walk down a trail back where you started at or catch the trolley back down. Anyway the tickets are relatively cheap, and there's a cafe where do you catch the trolley if you want to eat lunch there.

Great 10k sf house built 1914 with arts and craft construction and many new inventions of the time. Beautiful views from every room. Hiking trails with waterfalls. Restaurant on site. Could easily spend the day.

Wonderful day trip with stunning views and fantastic hiking trails on 5000 acres. The website has great photos of the castle and detailed history. I highly recommend the basement tour.

I love the architecture of this house and that thought that was put into making it. The history is fascinating. The outdoor gardens are full of beautiful flowers too.

Very interesting house, well presented with great access to all the rooms. A lot of the original features and furniture are in place. The staff are very knowledgeable and able to answer questions and provide insights. The basement tour is recommended, but also sells out, booking in advance is recommended. Everyone from the admission office to the maitre'd at lunch was super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend lunch on the terrace if the weather is suitable. The views are incredible.

A winding drive up the one-way road will let you take in one of the most gorgeous views in NH. Then a short ride on a trolley takes you to the castle at the top for even more spectacular views, gorgeous gardens and enchanting charm of this castle made out of love.

Well worth the visit. The views are amazing, and the house has an interesting history. There is a cafe with a bar that is a great place for lunch or a few drinks. Plus the bonus of lots of great hiking right on the property.
