Castle Farms in MI 49720, open June–September.
Castle Farms rises from 40 acres of manicured grounds and rolling landscape in northwest Michigan, offering sweeping views across orchards and open lawns.
The estate's stone structures and pastoral setting create an authentic backdrop for ceremonies and receptions.
Elevated terrain provides natural sightlines for photography and guest positioning throughout the property.
A fun beautiful place. We stopped in for a drink, both were amazing, and took a walk about. Pretty neat, reasonable prices.
