The space
The Castle at Lake Livingston Village was inspired by the German Medieval-Gothic castles of the old world. Built to provide our family, friends and guests a relaxing experience, in a wooded neighborhood setting, where memories are made enjoying the gentle outdoor surroundings with access to Lake Livingston, where you, your family and fiends can boat, fish, swim and enjoy the amenities of the area.

The Castle, with a total of 1165 square feet, has an upstairs bedroom with one king size canopy bed 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. Recently, the first floor, dubbed the dungeon, has been renovated to include a living space with two foldout couches, an open kitchen space with full size fridge, stove, oven, microwave and sink and a bathroom with toilet, shower and washer and dryer has been added to provide additional conveniences for your stay. This brings the castle to approximately 840 square feet of space.

With access to the entire castle property, you also have access The Castle Guesthouse, which was designed to replicate a German-Style Bavarian 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.

Other things to note
The Castle bedroom is accessible from the outside staircase leading to the balcony of the Castle overlooking the property and a small spiral staircase from inside the first floor both requiring you to carry luggage upstairs if you want access to the luggage in the bedroom.

The Studio Loft in The Castle Guest House is accessible by a fixed vertical ladder and requires climbing the ladder to get upstairs to the loft.

***PLEASE NOTE:

Most of the neighborhood roads (including the roads to the Castle) are not paved and are constructed of dirt and or gravel and can be rough or muddy at times depending on neighborhood maintenance upkeep.

The Castle at Lake Livingston is meant to be a getaway in a rustic almost “rough it” type of setting where you can unplug, skip the TV and enjoy the lake and outdoors.

This is not a luxury palace, this is meant to be an experience in a medieval castle, so please message me before booking should you have any questions.

There is no TV, no TV service and WIFI can be limited at times with weak signal to the Castle due to concrete walls.

If you have questions or concerns, please message the host before booking.
