The Castle at Lake Livingston Village was inspired by the German Medieval-Gothic castles of the old world.

The Castle has an upstairs bedroom loft and open seating area with over 420 square feet of living space. The area boasts an antique, Medieval-Gothic styled canopy king size bed, separate King and Queen old world throne chairs and two chaise lounges fit with lyon heads and paws made to serve the pleasure of the Royal Highnesses. A knight in armor keeps a watchful eye over the King and Queens quarters. There is a wood burning stove (not for use) in place to accent the room, providing and quiet and majestic ambiance to relax, read a book or visit with family and friends.

With access to the entire castle property, you also have access The Castle Guesthouse, which was designed to replicate a German-Style Guesthouse that would have been found in the old ages in the town village. It is approximately 325 square feet & includes a small basic kitchenette (no stove or oven), hot plates, refrigerator, breakfast nook, shower, toilet & second floor Studio Loft with double and twin beds, accommodating 3 people.

Outside you have access to a charcoal grill, a wood smoker, fire pit, outdoor seating, picnic table in a camping atmosphere. If you seek a simple get away with basic amenities to enjoy the outdoors, the wooded forest and have private access to Lake Livingston you have found the right oasis!

Fun Time!
My friends and I had a lot of fun at the castle. Lots of space and room to enjoy! Very clean on the inside too! It was easy to get in contact with the owner as well which was helpful.

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.
