Guest access
Guests can access the entire property with the exception of the third floor and one of the closets in the master bedroom. Guests will have access to large closet in the master bedroom. The third floor is it's own self-contained condo and is off limits to guests. It is used by the owners ONLY when the house is not rented out. The third floor is accessed by the outside staircase and the elevator. The doors to the unit remain locked, so we ask that guests do not try to use the staircase to get to the third floor or to go up to the third floor with the elevator. Please do NOT allow children to go up to the third floor. The balcony up there is 40 feet up in the air, and if a child were to fall from there it would certainly result in tragedy.

You will be blown away with the unique appeal that "Isle of View ( I love you, get it? ) has. We can't wait to see you!

Very unique
My 11 yr old granddaughter saw this listing and begged to stay “at the castle house”. The “castle” is a unique, one of a kind 3 story house, at the end of a trail through the woods. Please be aware that the dirt road and narrow trail to the house might not be suited for small cars. (We have a full sized truck.) We were not allowed access to the 3rd floor of the house, but the 2nd floor had everything we needed. The house has a small elevator that worked well. Although we didn’t have much time to enjoy the view, it would be very nice to have a cup of coffee while sitting on the wrap around porch and listening to the sounds of the river and wildlife. So peaceful! If you want to get away from sounds of civilization, this is the place for you. Our only complaint would be the lack of window coverings. Most of the walls are glass, including the master bathroom and bedrooms. EVEN THOUGH the house is deep in the woods with no neighbors, we were not comfortable sleeping and using the bathroom with no window coverings at all. My first thought was that the glass must be coated so you can’t see in from the outside. But that was not the case. So if you are a very modest or private person, this might be a concern. Other than that, it’s great!

Wonderful family getaway
I took my wife and kids to stay at what we referred to as the castle for a weekend getaway close to home. We loved the property and the short walk to the creek. The kids had a blast swimming and exploring the property. Marcus was wonderful and easily reachable.

Fairytale house
I picked this place originally for my family and I, because it looks like a tree house. When we arived, it was better than I expected. Private and cozy. We had a perfect stay of comfort and adventure. No complaints. We stayed for several days, and we even developed some nicknames for ceratin areas. "The wizard tower" was the spiral staicase, "the troll bridge" was the bridge over the creek, and "the time machine" was the elevator. There even was a beautiful friendly cat that hung around the grounds. We will miss her. We will probably try and book this place again.

Overnight at the “Haunted House!”
What a great stay. The outside looks like a an ancient stone home. The inside is modern and very cozy! Listen closely and you may hear little feet roaming the halls. The red birds will be sure to wake you in the mornings. They intentionally fly into the giant plate glass windows to get your attention. They will also sit with you (literally) while you drink your coffee outside in the morning. Great stay and will absolutely stay again.

What a cool, unique place! We had plenty of room and everything we needed to enjoy a quiet getaway from the city, while still being close enough to everything else we could have needed. There is a little bit of deferred maintenance around the property that could absolutely escalate the appeal and comfort of the home, but nothing that was a hindrance in any way to our wonderful stay. My kids thought this was the coolest place ever!

This is definitely a hidden gem of a property. Very nice! Kitchen was well stocked with everything that you need. Lots of space, seating, and storage for your things. The shower in the main bedroom was really nice and spacious. Very clean house! Outdoor area is great to just sit and relax while spending time with each other. The outdoor cat that hangs around is very sweet and loves to greet you - my daughter and I loved getting to see him and will miss him lots! Internet worked well, as did the tv channels. Beds and pillows were quite comfortable. Very quiet area to stay with lots of privacy. Definitely recommend and we hope to stay again!

Rude, dirty beds and trash
All in all I feel the house was really misrepresented. It was in disrepair. The "stocked kitchen" had 2 filthy pans. We arrived to dirty beds and the previous guest's trash in trash cans(a long with flies). I found sheets and changed them myself. When I contacted owner about dirty beds (dirty everything really) and full trash cans he made some excuse about the previous tenants trashing the place and house keeping not having time to clean it? No apologies. Everyone expects at the very least not to have to clean up after previous guests just to sleep not to mention we paid cleaning fees. We didn't check in until hours after check-in either which was communicated with him. The house keeper just chose not to properly clean it and we were told tough. This is not the evening I wanted after driving 9hours to get there. Unprofessional is the nicest way to put it.

Secluded & private
Very private and isolated. Exactly what we were searching for this trip. Built in the woods so nature is all around while sitting on the back deck relaxing with a glass of your choice. This property is handicap ready for wheelchair individuals or seniors. Parking great especially when bad weather arrives. The elevator is located under house parking therefore loading & unloading is ideal. A very welcome plus. I always bring extra blankets everywhere I stay & they were used. This isn't any reflection on the heating system at all, its just a senior citizen thing. All in all we were very satisfied and the owner was very helpful in every way.

Not what I truly expected.
The place does look like the pictures but there were a few problems. There were dips in the floor and there was a hole under a chair in the living room. Half of the lights did not work and parts of the place were not as clean as I expected it to be. The place was cool to stay at for the night but i could have paid the amount I did at this place at a motel and find the place in better state. Also the elevator they have feels like it came out of a haunted mansion movie.
