Ona, Florida - Solomon's Castle "Hard to photograph"... I am in the process of photographing the castle as we speak, and I'm of a different opinion. [Larry Deamud sunsetphotos.net, 06/17/2009][RA: Hey, that castle looks great! How'd you do that -- by waiting until sunset?]
Ona, Florida - Solomon's Castle Terrific day's outing. The owner is incredibly talented and the guided tour was full of light hearted banter and dry witty humor. The restaurant (in addition to his metal castle, he's built a "Boat in a Moat") is worth a visit. [Catherine, 05/10/2007]
Ona, Florida - Solomon's Castle A delightful, wacky experience...way off the beaten track. The Boat in the Moat Restaurant is a delightful place to eat and the food is excellent. Don't miss the tour through the museum and pay attention to the surroundings...there are funny, imaginative, touches everywhere, from the "Rooms to Go" restroom building, to the "anchor" on the front of the Boat restaurant.
