The spiral staircase and full kitchen in the main house was unexpected! Along with full bathrooms in both the main house and the guest house. Temperature could be acclimated to be comfortable. It was crazy wonderful! It was like an adult adventure - we highly recommend it! . This is fantastic for a family or friend get-away.

Awesome Castle

this place reminded me of some places that I stayed many years ago. The owner went out of his to fix the heater. He drove two houts away to accomplish this task. We were very impressed and will be back in tye future

Unique property

Stayed at this property during winter break. The “Castle” did have an electric stove oven, plus full fridge, plus a full bathroom. But it is rather old just like an old “castle” if that’s what you are looking for. The guest house has simple sink, full fridge, and full bath, but climbing to loft required physical fit. Neighborhood was a bit unsafe and may get flooded or with mosquitoes, be aware.

I really wanted to like this place but boy did it leave a lot to be desired. Please note that you cannot access the bedrooms without taking stairs/ladders - and the stairs are kind of dangerous. I should have paid more attention to the other reviews mentioning this. The outside looks like the pictures but the inside is poorly made, dusty and dirty. It is also very dark in there (which I guess is part of the ambience) - I wouldn’t mind if it wasn’t that one of the lamps had no bulb and the light up candles remote had no batteries - we couldn’t make the place brighter even if we wanted to. The bathroom has no sink nor mirror. The sink is located by the kitchen and it was dirty. Want a cup of coffee? The hosts didn’t clean up the previous tenants’ pods. Ew.They ask you to strip the beds before leaving - in doing that you would notice how absolutely filthy the mattress is. The place smells musty and the doors, whilst looking cool and very castle-like, are extremely unsafe. The locks aren’t very sturdy and there’s gaps between the door and the floor and wall, so if you hate mosquitos this place would be your nightmare.WiFi? Unreliable. It’s a pity that they require a two night stay minimum. This place is cool for pictures to take on a quick daily stay but if you actually want somewhere to feel safe, comfortable and clean it missed the mark by a mile. Again, I wish I could give this place 5 stars. Unfortunately there were too many things wrong with it.

Great experience

Was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. There are steep stairs so if you have really young children or bad knees it might not be the best option for you. My kids loved it and thought it was the coolest experience. The castle itself does have a bathroom with shower, a full size refrigerator, and a full size stove/oven which was not on the listing. The guest house also has a bathroom and kitchenette but no stove/oven in it. Host had everything needed in the kitchen, pots pans utensils etc…and was very responsive. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Your car may hate you after this trip

To get to property you must drive over graveled roads with thousands of pot holes. The bedroom is charming, but the tiny bathroom is down 17 steep stairs and outside. Shower stall is tiny with shower head on ceiling spraying straight down, so ladies if you don't want your hair wet sorry. You brush your teeth in kitchen sink as bathroom has no sink. Kitchen has hot plates to cook on and a microwave. Restaurants are in to town 10 miles away. The outside deck is quite charming, and the Castle looks charming, but looks can be deceiving.

Enchanting

We loved staying at this little castle. The castle is even cooler in person and has a lot of fun details. I especially loved coming down the deck stairs from the second level and walking down to the courtyard & guest house. The property is located in a neighborhood that is a bit unusual if you are only used to cookie cutter planned neighborhoods but there are a lot of neat properties in the neighborhood. The road is unpaved but if you have ever been hunting in Texas you will be familiar with unpaved roads and these are at least flat! I think a car could easily traverse them. The lake would be the main attraction in the area and it is only minutes from the property. There is also lots of choices for restaurants which I was surprised by. If you aren't from the area be aware that mosquito season is no joke here and even mosquito spray won't solve the problem. We did find that we were able to use the outdoor space with a fire and bubble machine going. This seemed to keep the mosquitoes away for the most part. The property will not be ideal for those with an inability to traverse stairs. All sleeping areas are accessed by either stairs or ladder. This was not a problem for was and we actually had a lot of fun but I could see how this would be an issue for others. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. If you find yourself in need of a cozy adventure I would highly recommend! My only recommendation to the owner would be to keep bubble machines on hand for guests.

Charming but Inconvenient

The small details and decor is fabulous! Loved the spacious bedroom. Bed was super comfy, beautifully decorated and I enjoyed drinking coffee while sitting on my throne. Lol Now, I must explain the “inconvenience” part of my title. The shower in the main castle is still in progress so to shower you must walk to the guest house. Also, when you wake up in the morning and want coffee you have to go to guest house as well. There was no trash can in the main castle, which is where we cooked breakfast one morning. I had to get the bathroom trash an and move to the kitchen. The kitchen has minimal amenities. I needed a plastic spoon or spatula to cook eggs. Husband walked to guest house and found one there. When I went to put on make up there were no mirrors in main castle. Back to guest house I went. Now the spiral stairs in main castle is tight and steep going up to the bedroom. Getting up in the middle of the night to use the restroom was challenging. First night I used the spiral stairs but the second night I went outside the bedroom and used the exterior stairs and went to guest house. I have a bad knee so by the time we left I felt rough. If stairs are no issue for you I definitely recommend a stay here once. As I read in other reviews the road coming in is rough and basically the castle sits in a trailer community full of RVs and single wides. Odd location but never felt unsafe. Lastly, it was relaxing to sit outside. Loved the rock walkway surrounded by trees. It was a nice place to sit and enjoy a glass of wine.

Loved the decor of the kitchen and master suite! The outside area is wonderful and where we spent most of our time. Bathroom shower and the ladder to the loft is a bit tricky, but we're still young enough to handle it! LOL My sister in law and I found this for our husband's birthday weekend. Wanted something fun and different and we all enjoyed our stay!

Fine

Place was nice, area was not so nice if you have a certain color to your skin. We were warned by the nearest grocery person to watch out about driving around with our skin color. Made the stay very scary and less than pleasant. We wanted to stay outside and have a fire but we were too anxious to stay out too late because of the warning. We placed the heavy locks back on the doors on the inside just to be sure no one came around and barely got any sleep.
