No need for black tie attire, but don't show up in flipflops and crocs, either. Limited indoor seating. Quaint, small rooms with a bed-and-breakfast feel. Not quite modern but not quite dated, either. Very cozy. A nice option to treat the family (or steakhouse-loving grandparents) when they're visiting Gambier! A good (but pricy) place to stay for reunion weekend or graduation, as well.

Most of the wedding party rented one of the treehouses or cabins on property for the night. Treehouses are pretty tight quarters. The pictures online do not show the true scale of the cramped area. We stayed at the Killbuck cabin and loved it. With 2 upstairs bedrooms and a queen bed and 5 twins it was roomy. I only wish we could have stayed longer. My advice to the owners- invest in some good bedding and pillows. For the money it costs your sleep should be as dreamy as the venue.

This place books up so you better plan ahead!…read more We booked this place a few weeks ahead of our trip and luckily had a room for two nights instead of the three over labor day weekend, but our fault for not planning ahead! The ROOMS We stayed in the Stables, in a room with two queens, we just ended up pushing them together in the middle of the room, which worked fine! The room itself is huge, nice big bathroom as well, with a big jacuzzi tub, so that's fun! The decor is nice and nicely diplayed. TV could be bigger to fill the wall, but is a fine size and we didn't really come to stay in the room & watch TV much anyways. I like the thoughtfulness of the two mini dasani waters in the mini fridge! That is super helpful bc the faucet water tastes very earthy. Not enough outlets, I will say that much. Need a power strip or something b/c the outlets near the beds are just kinda far from the bed and the outlets closer are used by the bedside lamps. So just kinda an inconvenience, but not a big deal. The TV and coffee maker also can't both be plugged in a the same time, so again, not enough outets it seems. The TV itself ... needs replaced. For the love of technology that thing is ancient! The remote didn't work well at all, it was the kind that has a million buttons and you have to figure out which buttons turn on the TV and which buttons turn on the actual service that allows you to watch the TV lol oh sheesh. Plus YOU CAN'T STREAM! We had to use our laptop to watch what we wanted to b/c the TV said it needed an ethernet cable to get hooked up to internet. So I did feel like I was at my grandmas house in terms of the TV technology, watching dish available programs like NCIS and the Drew Barymoore show.. -___- This was my actual one main gripe about the room and stay itself. Like the bathroom mini toiletries available. They def seem high quality, so that's nice! Like that the room comes with mini travel size shampoo, conditioner, lotion and a few makeup remover wipes as well as has larger size shampoo, conditioner and body wash attached to the shower wall. The towels could use some fabric softener, they were definitely stiff and rough. Toilet paper was angel soft, so that could be higher quality. Very rough. So it seems like some little details are thought of while others might be overlooked. The Stables themselves are in a quite good location actually, I do prefer how it is a bit away from everything and has super cute little seating area with string lights behind the building! WITH a little walking trail that circles around and up to the pool house. The CASTLE The Castle itself is super cute, I love how there's tons of paved walkways around the entire grounds. LOTS of beautiful plants and flower beds all around the grounds. The aesthetic is just beautiful. The lobby has coffee, tea, snacks and drinks for sale as well as some small nick nacks and toys as well. I DEF took advantage of their reasonably priced mini wines and sodas to grab for the room. AMENITIES Great amentiites, not too much not too little. Not too many amenities to make it a kid-palooza, which keeps it nice and quiet at pretty much all hours. We were here on a Labor Day weekend and it seems like everyone gets out and about to go hiking and do other things throughout the day time. We chose to stay on the castle grounds the entire stay, which was nice to not have to drive anywhere. Love that there's pickle ball courts, lots of paved walkways to get some exercise, nothing is tooooo far away from each other to feel like an actual workout lol. I love that there's a pool and hot tub on site for all cabin use. The mercantile shop attached to the grill is a nice touch! Also love that they sell lots of quirky nick nacks + local beers in single cans + the local wine as well! Maybe if there were just like one or two more little things to do on the grounds it would be perfect for those that really don't want to have to drive anywhere once on site. Maybe a few oversized yard cames somewhere, a lawn chess or ... some other little things to keep the castle dwellers occupied in the quiet time on the grounds. The Copper Mug itself was really awesome, so they'll get an extravagant review separately! But very happy with them, especially as the only restaurant available on site and most likely the best thing within anything close to a short driving distance. Overall Great stay! Few recommendations for little upgrades, just to put the cherry on top of the "luxury" adjective used in the description. Overall great place to stay, we will be back in the future to stay in the castle itself!

I really wanted to like this place as the grounds are beautiful…read more On the positive side, the staff was great and did what they could. The person working the front desk was friendly and looked like she was doing 3 jobs at once. The bartender was fast efficient and made great cocktails. Some of our concerns go to more managerial issues. As an example, the heat in our room did not work and our room was as cold as the outside. Being middle of January we were literally sitting in our rooms in hats, gloves and coats. The staff did bring up some space heaters to help raise the temperature, which eventually worked. The wine pairing dinner we attended was just ok, but at 70 dollars a person I would expect more than using small plastic cups for the pairings. The food itself was really good, so my compliments to the chef. If the room price was more reasonable and not 450 per night I would be less critical. The cost just didn't match the expectation
