About this property

Relax & unwind surrounded by nature @ Lacey Michele's Castle! -Pet Friendly!

Lacey Michele's Castle is tucked away in a remote corner of the Ozarks, in northwest Boone County Arkansas. Surrounded by the beauty & peacefulness of Mother Nature.

The groundskeeper spreads corn in the evening for the many local deer and critters. Bucks, does and fawns speckle the hillside every evening waiting for their dinner. You can sit back in the courtyard, relax & watch the deer & the surrounding wildlife all around.

The guest studio suite has all the amenities you need, should you want to stay put and rejuvenate in the beautiful solitude nature offers here. Just bring your food and drinks. We furnish the rest!

The large bathroom is handicap accessible. There is a full tub/shower and a double vanity with towels and linens provided. There is more than enough space for 2 people to get ready at the same time, for a fun night out enjoying one of the amazing attractions that are within a few miles of us. This guest suite can sleep 4. There is a medium to firm memory foam mattress and a twin sized trundle daybed.

There is a BBQ grill with charcoal and lighter fluid provided, ready to go if you want to cook out while you play croquet, bocce balls or a fun game of bags. This outside area also has a large fenced area with a horse shoes set. There is a great fire pit for roasting hot dogs, making s'mores and star gazing! We have a small telescope for enjoying the night sky, were we are a certified black out zone. With over 5 miles of hiking trails, there is plenty to explore over the 70 acres of castle property.

When in season, we love sharing our bounties with our guests. We plant all kinds of veggies and we hope to have something that everyone will enjoy! Just another perk of staying at the castle. As we are a non-profit foundation, we also sell vegetables to local grocery stores. All the proceeds from the sales go in to our scholarship fund for the Omaha High School Seniors.

Our mission is for you and your family to be able to disconnect with the rest of the world for a while, and reconnect with each other while enjoying the castle atmosphere, surrounded by the beauty and peacefulness of wildlife and mother nature! We want your stay to be an enjoyable experience where tons of memories are made!!

Of course with Branson so close, not to mention numerous other attractions in Arkansas, you will have an abundance of choices for your dining and entertainment pleasure! Eureka Springs is about 45 minutes and the beautiful Buffalo National River Park is about an hour from us.

Come stay with us! You won't want to go home!!

We are dog and cat friendly with a $50 Pet Fee.

2nd time staying here. Karen is a Great host. Our Boxers were with us. They loved the fenced in yard to run around and play. We seen Deer each time we have been there. Right outside of the door to the right on the hill and in the back just on the other side of the fence where the small pond is. We will definitely stay again in the future.

Awesome place to stay. Nice remote location. The room had everything I needed. It was just me and my dog. It rained the first part of the week other than that the weather was good.The place was clean and the fenced in back yard was awesome for piper. She had a great time running around there and playing. Its a very large fenced in yard. I all had to do is open the back door and piper was able to go out in it.It was a one room setup and that worked good for me.Property manager was on site and was very helpful and easy to get along with. I only saw her a couple of times during the week. During one of the thunderstorms that went thru, the power went out and she let me know when it should come back on again. At the time I was out so it did not affect me. I would recommend this as a good place to stay. Everything was as they stated.

We enjoyed this out of the way, peaceful retreat off the beaten path. We found the bed to be more comfortable than some high-end hotels! Our host was gracious and kind, offering fresh produce from her garden. We were provided with everything we needed to relax, rest, and recharge. We enjoyed grilling out and enjoying the great outdoors!

We were only here for one night to attend a concert at Thunder Ridge; we will be back. The property is secluded and has rustic charm. The host is super friendly and made us feel very welcome. Be warned, the story behind the castle will tug at your heartstrings. The area is a certified black sky site, so on a clear night you can see so much. It's great for astrophotography. The next time we visit, we'll be sure to take advantage of all the property has to offer (hiking trails, games, a great outdoor area, etc).

My sister (80, wheelchair), my dog, and I stayed in this unique lodging for a week. She LOVED sitting out back, where my dog ran around and explored the large, fenced-in area. She moved around with ease, including the bathroom, kitchen, and living area. We had lots of storage, great air-conditioning, a beautiful drive, plus amazing stonework and stories to enjoy. My dog and I took long walks on the road, by the woods, and through meadows - if you do, expect lizards and insects.

This is perfect place for a peaceful getaway but it's still close enough to Branson to enjoy the day out. The host, Karen, is so friendly. She welcomed us to the property and shared the amazing story of Lacy Michele's Castle. Beautiful surroundings! A very clean and comfortable place to stay.

Beautiful!!! Minutes away from Branson, but peacefully away from the hustle and bustle. Karen was wonderfully on top of everything! The "grand tour" was beautiful and the story behind the castle was touching. Fresh produce from the garden was a plus! Started every morning with coffee in the huge backyard edged by forest. And every evening playing pool or one of the games in the game room. Or just enjoying the deer that come out of the forest to eat. We definitely plan to make this our Branson getaway place to stay!!!
