Chateau Fiasco was built in 1961 by Stokes Evans—the Inn’s maintenance man— under the guidance of Helmuth Deetjen, who was by then too old to handle the construction himself. True to the classic Norwegian style that Helmuth used throughout the Inn, the room’s design reflects the rustic, handcrafted aesthetic that defines Deetjen’s. Named with a wink to history, “Chateau Fiasco” commemorates the Bay of Pigs Invasion that same year, showcasing Helmuth’s dry sense of humor. Today, Chateau Fiasco is a guest favorite, nestled in the trees with a sunny balcony that overlooks the restaurant and gardens, inviting visitors to soak in the Inn’s charm from a peaceful, elevated view.
