"This weekend, my wife, my son, and I visited Three Valley Lake Chateau. It was their first visit and my first time back in over 30 years. As a child, I attended Bell family reunions here in the late 1980s and early 1990s, so returning was both nostalgic and meaningful. As a descendant of the Bell family, I believe founder Gordon Bell was my 3rd or 4th cousin, making this place part of my family’s history.
What impressed us most was how much the property has grown. Surrounded by stunning mountain scenery and the crystal-clear waters of Three Valley Lake, the setting is breathtaking. But the real attraction is the endless exploration.
Between the Heritage Ghost Town, historic buildings, antique collections, trains, vintage vehicles, museums, and countless hidden treasures, there are hours of things to see and do. Every time we thought we’d seen it all, we discovered something new.
We especially loved the quirky charm created by decades of expansion and remodeling. Former outdoor motel walkways have been enclosed and transformed into unique interior corridors, creating a whimsical, maze-like atmosphere full of surprises and character.
Watching my wife and son discover it for the first time reminded me just how special this place is. Three Valley Lake Chateau isn’t just a place to stay—it’s an experience. If you enjoy history, unique attractions, and places with genuine personality, this is a must-visit destination. Highly recommended."
