Medieval fantasies come true in this Ellington castle available for rent through Airbnb. It was built in 1917 by a prosperous family whose trip to England inspired a dream to own a castle. In 2000, it was bought and beautified by an artist.

Please note, this rental is no longer available.

It's only fitting that the most regal Airbnb in Connecticut is perched up on a hill.
