“Lovely stay in the castle. This was our second visit. The home was clean and in a great location. There was a small AC issue, but the host was so kind and responsive that it didn’t take away from our trip.”We will definitely be back!

Great peaceful getaway site with a great view
Not our first stay there. So quiet and peaceful and a great view of Lake Travis. Very private and parking right outside the unit. Full kitchen has everything you need. All we needed is wine on the porch watching the sunset over Lake Travis.

A true hidden treasure
We came for formula 1 and I’m not a big fan of staying in the city so I found this listing and I am so glad I did. It was so comfy and cozy. After such a busy day all three days we were there, it was so refreshing to come back to the castle and enjoy ourselves in such a beautiful place. We have been bragging about our castle stay since we got home. When we go to F1 next year we will be staying again.

Very romantic
Really enjoyed our stay. There was a hiccup with the check in process and Gate clicker but the host had everything fixed within minutes. Very relaxing property and the view can’t be beat. Highly recommend for couples looking to get away and enjoy each others company. Love that they have a regular coffee pot supplied with coffee and creamers instead of a keurig. The property is well stocked, including the kitchen was full of various cooking oils and seasonings if you’re staying longer term.

Stunning sunset views over lake Travis
Overall a wonderful stay. Some miscommunication over which unit was ours which was quickly remedied by the host. The mattress was pretty soft and spongy which was not to our taste but otherwise great spot. Would recommend!
