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.

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.

Girl's Weekend
My girlfriends and I had an amazing time at the tiny castle. Accommodations included everything we needed, including a coffee maker, electric skillet, comfy beds and toasty heaters. I highly recommend this place.

Magical Time
What a cool little place to let the imagination run wild. Be a king and queen of the castle!
Road in is a little rough but otherwise great place.
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.

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.
