We used this spot as a pivotal point for visiting some of the area state parks. The B&B itself was very interesting with a great deal of history in the area. The other rooms in the inn looked much more comfortable thanthe one we had (Russells Room). So I think the inn may deserve a better rating than we would give. Our room was drafty and had inadequate bathing facilities.

The packages they offer are an exciting addition to a comfortable and pleasant stay.

Thrilled to have supper and $99 special. When arrivedm no welcome or information given until we asked questions. We had to ask all the questions to get all the information. meals served very late. Everything else great: later staff friendly, rooms & food good.

My fiance got me two nights at the castle with the murder mystery dinner for my birthday. The murder mystery dinner wasn't exactly what I was expecting, but it a lot of fun, and the food was very good. The first night we stayed in Eunice's room, which was neat, I liked the swinging bed and big jacuzzi tub. The second night, we stayed in john's cottage, which was amazing. I loved the real wood-burning fireplace in the cabin, and the jacuzzi tub was very nice. It also had a nice view of the lake out front. Breakfasts were good, plenty of food for sure! The talk about the history of the castle the second morning with the current owner of the property was a little long, dry, and boring for my fiance and I. We would have preferred to have that lecture be something optional to attend, and not given at breakfast when we would rather be talking with the other guests. The common areas are nice, we spent one evening sitting on the 4-season porch playing games and drinking wine. It was a very relaxing weekend, I would definately go back here again.

The mystery dinner was a hoot! The castle was clean - decorated for Christmas - filled with unique old things and period furniture - the food was fabulous and the staff warm and welcoming. I'd go back in a heartbeat!

We spent 2 nights for a birthday and get-away. Although our first room was a disappointment (mainly due to a tiny closet bathroom which wouldn't fit little ol' me, let alone my 6'2'' husband), the staff was very accommodating in finding us a roomier room with a lovely lake view, fireplace and jacuzzi. We spent one night inside the house, and one in John's cabin. The historic aspect (it's still owned and operated by the original family) and the lake location made it unique and very worthwhile, in spite of the chilly November weather.

My wife and I spend an overnight at Spicer Castle to celebrate our 34th anniversary. Our room was a 2-level with a very comfortable large bet upstairs, but a small toilette closet a floor below. The stairs were more like a ladder so we had our challenges. (Christopher room) The lodge was unique and historic. The meals were great and we enjoyed them very much. I have diabetes, and they made adjustments to the meals to help me. I highly recommendSpicer Castle, but try to register early to get a room in the main house.

What a great time to start out as strangers and end up as friends as we solve a crime together - Great food!

My husband and I just spent a very relaxing weekend at Spicer Castle. The location on the lake was beautiful and the castle is lovingly cared for. This peaceful setting was just what we needed! Our room was very comfortable and homey. We would highly recommend the dinner cruise. The food was superb!

I took my husband to the Spicer Castle for his Birthday in late November, 2007. We also took part in the Mystery Dinner that Saturday evening-- It was so much fun. Our room was wonderful- We plan on returning this summer to enjoy the boat cruise on Green Lake.
