We all dream of living in a castle or being the king of the castle at some point, but did you know that you don’t have to travel to Europe to stay in one. There is a super cool castle in Texas, yes a real castle and you can stay in it.
Castle Falkenstein is 14,000 square feet and is located on 133 acres in Burnet, Texas. This masterpiece has 7 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and can accommodate 12 people. The master bedroom has a massive heated whirlpool tub and two of the guest bathrooms also have whirlpool tubs. As you’d expect, there are over 100 works of art and paintings in every worthy castle.
From the balconies, you can see 3 counties, 2 lakes, and more than 50 miles on a clear day, according to the VRBO list. Claim the best view in central Texas.
There is also a 40,000 gallon koi pond on the property and a unique bubbling stream with “hidden gems and crystals from around the world”.
The castle also offers free WiFi, coffee, bedding, shampoo, family games, TVs, and a collection of over 1,000 DVDs.
Can you imagine driving up this street and seeing your first look at the castle?
It all looks so comfortable
Just because it looks medieval doesn’t mean you have to forego modern kitchen comforts.
Sleep like a king and queen in this room
You can’t have a castle without a playroom!
Every castle must have a chapel
Could that be the koi pond?
The price of $ 1,979 a night might sound steep at first, but with 6 bedrooms you just get 6 couples together and it’s only about $ 329 a night per couple and that’s a steal to get a couple of nights to live like a king!

These areas are protected and revered as educational resources about nature and as spaces for exploration.
