"How can a place named The Castle on Silver Lake not be magical? The setting overlooking Silver Lake Harbor and the architecture with its intricate woodworking throughout the interior was enough to entice us to come more than 20 years ago. However, it’s the folks that run it and the other guests, like us, that keep us returning. Celebrating our 50th anniversary was a milestone and The Castle was the perfect setting. Martha and her delicious breakfasts, always served with a beautiful smile, made our stay even better. Making new friends at the breakfast table is something you can’t do at a hotel. This was our 4th stay - and always in the Lighthouse Suite. While the Castle is showing some wear, it’s still comfortable and homey. Whether you want to stay a night on Ocracoke or a full week like we do, you won’t be disappointed with the magic of The Castle. "

"Lovely stay! Room was clean and cozy!"

"We had a wonderful time at the Castle on Ocracoke island."

"Warner made this stay fantastic. The breakfast crew was wonderful as well. Just an incredible week. Thanks!! JPW "

"Wonderful facility. Staff is just great! Although an historic building, it is extremely well maintained. Our room and head were spotless. Breakfast by Martha was over the top. We had to make a change to our stay and both Kim and Amanda who handle bookings were so very helpful. We will be back! Noteworthy details: They have a floating dock with space available for guest boats."

"Our stay was exceptional. We were only there one night while traveling from Nags Head to Wilmington. The building has historic and eccentric charm. We walked to the nearby lighthouse and Springers Point. Breakfast was excellent. Noteworthy details: I recommend learning about Samuel Jones, the guy that built the place. You can also visit his gravesite at Springer's Point where he was buried next to his horse."

"Warner was so kind and willing to help. Breakfasts were delicious. Room was so comfortable with delightful ambiance and tasteful furnishings. "
