What a beautiful place. We felt we were transported back in time. Memories of castles in Germany and Switzerland came to mind. How do you create a place where you feel grand but also at home? This is the place! Inside and out. Rock solid magic ❤️.
The Childs are accommodating, available and so gracious.

Thank you to Chateau de Lis for a fabulous venue for my son and his new bride. Not only is it obviously a beautiful setting, with beautiful grounds and fantastic picture opportunities, but the staff is easy to work with and welcoming. We enjoyed the themed rooms, the European furnishing full of history and stories that the owners were happy to share. Unique murals, an olympic sized pool, hot tub, and space for both small and large groups. This venue created an ambiance that we will never forget

The venue is exceptionally beautiful and the grounds are incredibly ornate. Chauncey was a wonderful hostess for our wedding

I worked with the owner of Chateau De Lis and was blown away at the property! Every corner if filled with exquisite detail. For any bride that is looking for a luxury, timeless and romantic venue, look no further!

We had so much fun at the Chateau! It is so unique and there is so much work put into every detail of the actual building. The guests had such a good time with us on our special day.

I had my wedding reception here and Absolutely LOVED IT! It really feels like an old European Chateau. We loved all the authentic themed rooms for family to stay in for a few nights! It was a dream experience to have both our families together like this to get to know each other before the big day!

The entire property is so charming with the lakes out front, stone bridge, to the pool area, drawbridge, massive fireplace and spiral staircase! It’s really beautiful planned- all the finishing touches from the decorative woodwork to wallpaper to murals! On the property there are SO many beautiful spots for photos and it has a stunning sunset view! Plenty of parking and a gorgeous entrance for the guests! It was such a fun place to explore! I can’t say enough good things about it!

Thanks so much to the owners John and Chauncy Childs for the wonderful experience we had- they were great to work with! We can’t thank them enough! We loved having our wedding at their lovely Chateau de Lis.

Chateau de Lis was the perfect venue for our wedding reception. Every guest was enchanted by the details of the whole castle and grounds. The owners were incredible to work with. We look back on our pictures from that whole night with awe at how truly magical and breathtaking it all was. We cannot recommend Chateau de Lis enough. The whole experience was truly a dream come true. ❤️

It was a Beautiful Venue , completely different than anything else we have ever been to !!
Super Easy to set up and not much decor needed because the venue is stunning 😍
Definitely a must to create memories.

The Chateau de Lis is a gorgeous venue to have your wedding. I would not recommend it as an Airbnb. Also, I would not have chosen the venue if I knew what I know now. There were many things that weren't acceptable for an Airbnb stay. I unfortunately didn't find out until it was too late on what the owners think is acceptable for their business.

We rented the chateau for the day before the wedding so we could start setting up and do rehearsal dinner, as well as stay the night before the wedding day. When we arrived at check in, the owner was there cleaning I presume, there were other people there working/fixing/moving things in the chateau, children were running around and getting upset that we were setting up for the wedding in places they wanted to play. They didn't let us know their whole family would still be running around the chateau on the day of our set up/rehearsal dinner.

We paid to use the chateau as an Airbnb, and we received confirmation a week prior from the owner stating that she was cleaning and it would be ready for us. The kitchen, the downstairs bar, and the pool area were still dirty when we got there. My family helped clean most of it, and we had to pause on decorating the pool area because the owners still wanted to pressure wash it. It seems as though the owners simply weren't ready for us to be there. On top of all this, we were notified 2 weeks before our stay that the owner had double booked the chateau, so during my rehearsal dinner there was a bride, groom, and a photographer going around taking pictures...

I don't think the chateau was ready to be used as an Airbnb. There were multiple light fixtures that didn't work, outlets that didn't work, light bulbs in lamps missing, and the room we stayed in was freezing. Also, we thought we'd get to use the pool the night before the wedding, but we weren't allowed. They use false advertising on the chateau Instagram with couples in the pool, and couples using sparklers, but we were told we couldn't do those things.

We wouldn't have had our wedding there if the owner was posting on their business page like they are now. I wanted to tag the venue on social media after the wedding was over, and I found a bunch of political posts of RFK Jr. My now husband and I do not agree with the rhetorical violence from that man, and we do not want to support those who want autocracy over democracy.

My mom kindly messaged the owner and asked if it was a mistake that she shared these political views on her business page. She said, "Thanks for the heads up. My political views are what they are, as are my religious ones. If they have shown up on my business page, that may have been an oversight, but I'm not trying to hide. Thank you for letting me know. It's an age for great intolerance and division, and I'm sure my business will be affected, but survive."

Regardless of which side you are on politically, doing this on a business page is just going to alienate potential customers and, unfortunately, make your last customer regret choosing your venue. I guess they'll survive off right wingers from now on since "its an age for great intolerance and division" because they are creating it.

To the owner... instead of wading into political debates, focus on the core values that all people can rally behind. Things like quality, integrity, sustainability, or community service are universal values that people from all walks of life can appreciate. By highlighting these positive aspects, you can create a deeper connection with your audience without the risk of alienating anyone. Unless you want to be the one causing division.

Anyway, our wedding was absolutely gorgeous using this venue. I'll give credit where it's due. My mom did most of the work to make sure it was perfect, and I know it would've been just as magical at another venue that doesn't want to alienate their customers. Thanks for reading my honest review of our experience at the Chateau de Lis.
