Acerca de este alojamiento

Ambiente de vacaciones para reuniones familiares: ¡Acción de Gracias, Navidad y Año Nuevo!

Los 10.000 pies cuadrados Castino Lakeview mansión se encuentra en lo alto de un acantilado con impresionantes vistas del lago Michigan. Está a solo unos pasos de la amplia playa y la vista del puerto deportivo, con redes de voleibol de arena y un área de juegos para niños. La casa combina la sensación de opulencia de antaño con todas las comodidades modernas. La casa fue construida en 1912 por el barón del carbón y transporte JP Reiss en los Grandes Lagos, que no escatimó en gastos. Las características incluyen el ajuste de caoba, techo del comedor de cañón, y yesos ornamentales, junto con el hierro, piedra y ladrillo. Hay 10 habitaciones en la casa principal, más una variedad de literas y sofás-cama, por lo que puede alojar cómodamente una combinación de niños y adultos hasta un total de 24. (Hay dos dormitorios adicionales en la casa de autobús también disponibles en alquiler, incluyendo un baño, cocina y sala de estar.) La casa principal tiene 10 baños, 11 chimeneas, 11 televisores de pantalla plana, Wi-Fi y 2 mesas de fuego en el patio exterior. Hay una cocina completamente surtida y despensa de servicios públicos (horno doble, dos micros, dos frig's de tamaño completo) (más una cocinita en el tercer piso), junto con una parrilla de gas en la terraza con vista al lago Michigan, la playa y el faro en el punto.

El nivel inferior es una zona de juegos para niños y adultos, incluyendo un completo bar de caoba, futbolín, mesa de ping pong, billar, además de lavandería. No hay necesidad de salir nunca de la casa, los motivos ni la playa.

Pero si quieres salir ... Hay mucho que hacer en Sheboygan, seleccionado como el lugar número uno para formar una familia en Estados Unidos por la revista Business Week de Bloomberg y el resumen del lector. También es conocido como el 'Malibu del Medio Oeste ", y Surf Sheboygan es un lema apropiado! Windsurf, embarque yolo, kite surf, lancha motora, vela, la pesca y la natación buena pasada de moda son grandes maneras de aprovechar el regalo de la madre naturaleza. ¿Quieres ir a explorar por el agua? Tenemos 4 kayaks disponibles para su uso. A tres cuadras al sur de la orilla del lago es un YMCA excepcional, y una milla abajo en la orilla del lago es un parque acuático cubierto con día pasa todo el año. Cerca del parque acuático es una hilera de tiendas, y en todo el camino es el paseo del río, con restaurantes / bares, tiendas y pescadores (y sus capturas) en abundancia.

Hacia el oeste de la mansión es la pintoresca ciudad pero lleno-servicio de Sheboygan. El Centro de Artes Escénicas Weil, el Centro de Arte Kohler y un fabuloso museo de los niños son sólo una caminata de distancia. Un montón de opciones de restaurantes, así como comida de pub también están a poca distancia y sin duda poca distancia en bicicleta. Tenemos 9 bicicletas en las instalaciones para su uso, con bicicletas adicionales disponibles en las tiendas locales de alquiler. Senderismo en el Parque Estatal de Kohler es otro esfuerzo activo, junto con el esquí de fondo en los senderos en la ciudad o en los Trails State Park Kettle Moraine.

Si el golf es lo tuyo, este es el lugar para usted! Nuestra ubicación es muy conveniente para acceder golf de clase mundial, incluyendo The American Club en Kohler, El Toro y Whistling Straits. Road America en Elkhart Lake Racing está cerca. ¡Y la lista continúa! La conclusión es que no hay mucho que hacer, con un hogar acogedor, encantador y relajante para volver a la noche. Usted puede lanzar hamburguesas a la parrilla, pedir una pizza, o contratar a un chef local para atender sus comidas para lo último en relajación.

Hay algo para todo el mundo - desde la natación al golf, desde los balnearios a los deportes! Usted se sentirá como la realeza, así como en su propia casa en la mansión. Ven a disfrutar de esta escapada única con la familia, en una reunión de la empresa, con sus compañeros de golf - las posibilidades son infinitas!

Remarkable Mansion on the Shore of Lake Michigan

This beautifully preserved historic mansion on the shore of Lake Michigan was the perfect setting for hosting my family reunion and a small wedding. The rooms are comfortable and there are several common rooms to enjoy. I'd highly recommend for a group of friends or family wanting to share time together.

40th anniversary trip

The size and interest in this authentic mansion made for great lodging for our family. The backyard and patio space is amazing as are the views. We had small grandchildren with us and they were very comfortable in the home and felt welcomed especially with the games and play room downstairs. The beach was convenient and it was a great beach! The Castino’s had every amenity you would need and were generous in sharing it all with us such as a beach toys, beach chairs, towels and a wagon. TVs throughout the house and good climate control were appreciated. We had a great time!

This is an amazing house! Every room has its own unique character. We felt like we were living the life of Downton Abbey (without the servants). The yard, patio, and outside views are just as amazing. A great place for a family reunion!

Fun for a big group

Location is very nice with great views. House is beautiful but horribly cluttered with knickknacks everywhere. Three full floors plus a basement. Lots of games for inside and out. Easy access to a great public beach. Owners and staff communicate well and are very helpful.

Perfect Getaway

First, the communication with the owner and manager were great. They gave plenty of information and ideas as well as making sure the process went smoothly. Huge house which was perfect for 3 families and kids. Plenty of room for all. Really cool old mansion provided some history lessons to the kids! The location is beautiful right across from the lake. The views were awesome! Overall we'd recommend this house to anyone who needs space and beds for a large group.

Family Time

We enjoyed our stay at the mansion. Everything we needed was there. It was so great that there were enough bedrooms and baths for our whole family. The outside area was fabulous. The weather was beautiful, but Lake Michigan’s water temperature was too cold to swim in. Fun was had by all.

Our week at Castino Mansion

I normally do not write reviews, but our family enjoyed our stay at the Castino Manson so much I decided to make an exception. We have a large family of 7 children and for the past 20+ years we have been going on a yearly vacation. We have gone to the Outerbanks a few times, to New York, Tennessee Mountains, Hawaii, Fort Worth, to name a few. As you can imagine we normally rent a large house, and we know what are good and bad accommodations. This was our first visit to Wisconsin. On our way back from our trip our children said that if we don't find a good place next year, we should go back to the Castino Mansion. Our stay was the end of July. The entire house was very clean; the bedrooms were large; the common areas we're spacious; and the outside sitting areas were outstanding. The first 2 days you could hear the lake waves from the back porch. I got a few pages read in my book before I fell asleep on one of the chairs. The basement is large with numerous games for adults and children including a pool table, foosball, poker table, and tons of table games. There's a large TV area also in the basement where the younger children watched movies. The beach is a short walk away, and if you sit on the porch, you can hear people on the beach. The beach was not crowded. The back yard is big enough to have a family baseball game. We had never been to Sheboygan. It is a neat clean little city. One night they had a food truck party at the park. Another day they had a farmers market in the town square. It has a neat little downtown that you can walk along and visit shops. There are lots of good restaurants in the town. There is also a Starbucks. The Castinos provide a number of bicycles for peoples use. The parents of the older children were not afraid to allow their children to ride around the neighborhood. I am the grandfather of the family, and unfortunately the one that pays the vacation bills. In the 20+ years of our vacations, I would have to say this was one of the more relaxing vacations we have had. It is a large old mansion, and if you don't mind that kind of setting you will not be disappointed. Chris Castino is also great to work with, and Lisa the manager is only a couple blocks away. Like I said, I normally do not write reviews, and I have not been paid to write this one.

unbelievable magnificent home

We had a family reunion here and it was special for many reasons. First of all our german family roots are in Sheboygan and brought back many memories of events here in our childhood.Secondly our great grandfather was the leading contractor in Sheboygan in the late 1800's and early 1900's and built the Reiss mansion, now known as the Castino home.We really appreciated the expertice and care that went into this construction , Staying there and knowing that your great grandfather built this work of wonder 105 years earlier made it extra special. Our thanks and appreciation to the Castinos on their restoration also.

Owner Communication & Feedback

I wanted to take a moment to review my experience with this owner during our planning and booking of this beautiful vacation rental. We spotted this property when searching the internet for a nice home that could accommodate a large group for a family reunion. Everyone instantly said this home was it and we contacted the owner to make arrangements for booking. We are a large family spread all across the country so picking dates and making travel plans for so many families became our biggest challenge. I sent multitudes of emails to the owner checking on dates and keeping them informed of how our planning was going. The owner was quick to respond and completely understood how difficult it was to plan a large gathering when some family members were unsure of which dates would work best for their schedules. I just really wish to thank the owners for working with us on dates and on the number of people who would attend as both our dates and our number seem to change frequently. If I shot out and email to the owner requesting any type of information this owner responded almost immediately. I truly appreciated the fact that all communication came directly from the owner. The owner also provides contact numbers for staff and property managers prior to arrival. This will be our first choice for future family gatherings.

"Can we come back next year?" asked the kids . . .

We (a group of 24 -- 12 adults and 12 children ranging in age from 15 years old to 6-month-old twins) had an amazing time at the Castino Mansion this past summer. Believe it or not, the mansion is more beautiful than it is on the website. And it is absolutely, spotlessly clean -- no small feat given its size and Victorian-style decor. We all felt like we stepped onto a movie set -- or a life-sized replica of the mansion in the game of Clue! It is located just across the street from a lovely, uncrowded public beach where we all enjoyed swimming and strolling. The patio (with a grill) was perfect for our nightly outdoor dinners. Even with everyone in the house -- and most of the kids in the supremely well-appointed game room in the basement -- you could find a quiet place to read, rest, or just take in the wonderful Lake Michigan view. Needless to say, I recommend this home wholeheartedly.

Fabulous Place to Celebrate our Mom's Life

The Lakeview Mansion was the perfect place for our large 35 member family to join together to celebrate our Mom's life. Chris the owner was a pleasure to work with giving us plenty of information and suggestions for caterers. We chose Rob from The Black Pig to cater the reception after the Memorial service as well as a sit down dinner for the families the next night. The food and service were exceptional and we would highly recommend them. Annette the Property Manager was so kind and an enormous help, getting us settled in and helping us with room descriptions beforehand. She was available throughout our stay for any questions. The house and carriage house were huge but felt cozy with plenty of private rooms to sleep and gather. It was decorated elaborately, like an estate from the past with a beautiful well appointed kitchen and butler's pantry. The basement with game room, ping pong, pool table, foosball, game table, TV room and bar was an ideal place for all to enjoy conversations and friendly family competitions. Watching the Packers win was a highlight as well! The outside patio area with fire pit and heaters was great and probably would have been used more had it not been 4 degrees that weekend! We would love to come back in the summer. The setting of the Mansion right off Lake Michigan was gorgeous. There was a great running path along the lake for those willing to brave the cold for their morning exercise. Several of the couples stayed within walking distance and the house is close to town and great little places to explore. We highly recommend Lakeview Mansion to others and plan to return. Thank you Chris and Annette for facilitating a fabulous reunion weekend for our families to celebrate our Mom and Grandmas life.

Chris and Roger have restored this amazing estate

Chris and Roger have restored this amazing estate to create this most inviting gathering place. We drove up from Chicago for the most perfect retreat weekend whcih included group work meetings, long walks on the lakefront and celebrations in the evenings. This is the perfect spot for work retreats or family festivities!

Acerca de su propietario/a

Propietario/a: Chris Castino

Imagen de perfil del propietario o de la propietaria
Hailing from the Chicago suburbs but getting closer and closer to that empty nest time in our lives, my husband and I had started thinking about what and where our next chapter might be. We have run a home services business on Chicago's North Shore for over 30 years, everything from painting to carpentry to carpet cleaning. But as our youngest approaches the end of her high school years, we've been talking about semi-retiring while still keeping busy enough to keep ourselves out of trouble and being able to put the third daughter through college. One wedding down with two to go means that we aren't quite ready to sit back and knit baby booties yet.

Por qué escogió este alojamiento

So one fateful weekend last summer, after seeing one daughter off on a mission service trip and another off to a quarter of studying abroad (a flurried week of preparation!) we thought we'd treat ourselves to a quick get-away. My husband dug out an old flyer on a Bed and Breakfast from his files, and off we headed to Sheboygan. Not only did we enjoy our stay immensely, we noticed the For Sale sign. After several cocktails, we were convinced that buying this was the right thing to do! Of course, we had to discuss it again the next morning. Hmmm. We still liked the idea. Our second night out to dinner reignited the burning desire to pursue it. Yes, we were still interested the next morning. We hurried home to crunch some numbers. Our friends and family (and banker) all thought we were nuts--, but the next thing we knew we were making an offer on the mansion. Not only did the house call to us, but the area evokes such a peaceful and less harried lifestyle. We've made several trips there in the meantime, and continue to fall more and more in love with the area. My husband, an avid golfer, is just drooling to get out on The Bull, Blackwolf Run and Whistling Straits. I might have to take up golf if I ever hope to see him again. In the meantime, I'm going to have a blast putzing around this amazing home and making it our own. The previous owners took a masterpiece that had gotten rundown and transformed it into a showcase some years ago. It's stunning! We have plans to finish the basement, turning it into a full tavern/rec-room/playroom. We can't wait for groups to enjoy it together. We look forward to moving up here full-time when our gal flies the coop but until then we will be enjoying the view, the town and the many fun things the area has to offer. I still can't believe that a spur of the moment trip to a place that happened to have availability has sent us this direction. I toyed with naming the place SERENDIPITY, but Lakeview Mansion says it all!

Qué hace que este alojamiento sea especial

The views can't be duplicated, the proximity to everything you could want to do makes getting around so easy, and the house itself is beyond description. I feel like I jumped in a time machine and ended up as royalty. Even the carriage house apartment above the garage (formerly the servants' quarters) is oozing with charm. There are so many areas to curl up with a good book, enjoy a cup of coffee, hang out with friends and family, or play games. You can stay together but keep your own schedules, given the privacy and the layout of the home. If you want to sleep in--go for it. Grandma might be in the kitchen whipping up pancakes for the gang as the partiers stagger up from the bar. Into research? What a great excuse to eat and drink your way through Sheboygan and the surrounding area!
