Castle Rogue’s Manor
Opens to Tourists

 (EUREKA SPRINGS, AR)— Over the past few years, residents of and motorists driving through Holiday Island and the town of Beaver have marveled as surreal structures emerged from a bluff overlooking Table Rock Lake.  “It’s hard to miss six medieval edifices on top of a mountain, after all,” quipped owner and builder Smith Treuer. 

After opening its doors to the public only briefly in mid-May, Castle Rogue’s Manor, will soon reveal its secrets to visitors on a regular basis.  Beginning July 7, public tours of the Gatekeeper’s Cottage and the Great Hall, the two main structures making up the “castle,” will take place every Saturday morning at 10 am. 

Reservations will be required and tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for kids.  Private showings are also available by appointment.  A third tour option is also offered—the Wine Tasting Tour, by appointment only.  Tickets are $50 for adults and $10 (no wine!) for kids.  Group Tour pricing is also available.

All tours will include Ceremonial Point, an outcropping offering a  breathtaking view from the point of the bluff overlooking the lake, and the lush gardens on the premises.  Castle Rogue’s Manor is also now available for private, business, organization and community functions, and for weddings (including at Ceremonial Point.)
