My finance and I stayed the night at Henderson and had an incredible experience. The food was top tier, (the butler was our fav, he was so cool and really personalized our evening), I loved the roof top hot tub and the room was spectacular. 10/10 would recommend!!

My stay at Henderson Castle felt genuinely magical from start to finish. The setting alone is transportive—perched above the city, wrapped in history, and full of that rare feeling that time has slowed just for you. It’s the kind of place that invites reflection, rest, and a little dreaming. What truly elevated the experience, though, was the staff. Everyone I encountered was warm, welcoming, and attentive without ever being intrusive. And the bartender, Rob, deserves special mention: he is a legit alchemist. His knowledge, creativity, and warmth turn cocktails into an experience rather than a transaction. The Spirit Bar hosts custom cocktail nights on Thursdays, and they are absolutely worth planning your stay around—thoughtful, imaginative drinks crafted specifically to your tastes. It feels intimate, playful, and a little enchanted. The food throughout my stay was absolutely delicious—thoughtful, well-prepared, and deeply satisfying. Every meal felt intentional, like it belonged exactly where it was being served. By the end of my stay, I realized this wasn’t just a one-time getaway. Henderson Castle has become a place I want to return to again and again. I’m already planning to make this my annual solo retreat—a place to reset, indulge a little, and reconnect with myself in a setting that feels both indulgent and grounding. Truly a special place.

Last night we had amazing time at the Murder Mystery dinner. We went thinking we were just going to be audience members watching a show of local actors performing a murder mystery and just helping to decide who was the guilty one(s). However, beyond our wildest imagination, we got to be the actors ourselves!! We got to make some amazing friends who also were there for the first time! The H.C. staff was amazing. The food was amazing! The bartender was amazing!! Thank you Henderson Castle for this amazing venue, for your amazing programming, and your amazing staff!! Merci Chef Francois Moyet ! We will be back!!

We had dinner at Henderson Castle, and it was amazing! The food was unique and extremely flavorful. Best meal we have had in years. The full bar has a great selection. The historic dining room is beautiful with the fine art and fireplace. The staff were also wonderful. Everyone should experience an evening at the castle!

We had a great time here! The staff went above and beyond to help us pick out rooms that would work best for us and fit us in for facials when we were originally told they were fully booked! The castle is very cool! The only negative is that we didn't experience any paranormal activity, so we will have to come back!

What an amazing experience! I had the incredible pleasure of being here two nights in a row. The food was amazing and the service was second to none. The wonderful staff did not miss a single detail. Everything here is extremely clean and well cared for. I cannot recommend Henderson Castle enough. Especially if you’re into ghosts and the paranormal!! So much fun stuff to see. Don’t miss the rooftop hot tub and amazing views of Kalamazoo!!

Henderson Castle is a magical place to visit. We spent just one night in the castle & cannot wait to return in the Spring/Summer to enjoy the outdoor amenities of the property. The staff were incredibly gracious & accommodating. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner in the restaurant as well as the lovely high tea. Everything was wonderful. Charmed by the history & character of the castle. We will be back!

Stayed 1 night in the French Room. Very nice. Beautiful house. Very well decorated to time period. Service was top-notch, and period dress was a very nice touch. Bar was quick with an excellent selection. Ate dinner with tableside Drunken Lobster and roasted bone marrow paired with a nice Red. Excellent and worth the price. Would recommend a night or 2 as long as you stay for dinner. Only the non-5-star is the ill-fitting unfortunate Kalamazoo setting, but that cannot be changed. Run over to the Gilmore Car Museum if you want a complimentary outing.
