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!!). It was truly wonderful to see the home, it had some beautiful stain glass windows and antique furniture throughout the home. Outside there are lovely... More

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. It is so pretty! As you drive up the mountain, you come to the stable areas and you see the restaurant. The restaurant... More

A great place to visit for history and beauty. I've been going to NH for many years and don't think I ever visited the Castle in the Clouds until last summer. We had a beautiful day for a walk around the property and lunch on the patio of the restaurant. We also stopped to visit Zeus the huge horse that... More

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

My family and I have gone to the Castle every summer to see the horses, feed the ducks and fish in the pond, walk to grounds and see the beautiful view of the lakes region from the castle. We have gone to breakfast and lunch at the castle stables and had an ice cream cone at castle creamery. There is... More

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.

Mr. Plant built this mansion in 1910's and it is very well preserved an restored. Every room has artifacts relevant to that era and specific for that room's purpose. It was a very high tech place at the time: central vacuum, refridgerator, intercomm, high pressure showers, etc. If you are a fan of Downton Abbey you'll love the place. There... More

The views are spectacular, especially in the fall! Check out the waterfalls and boulder on the way up. Our lunch at the Carriage House Café was a disappointment. The server was very inexperienced. I ordered a baked haddock and after placing my order, they were out so I tried the seafood medley thinking it was a seafood platter. It came... More
