You Can Stay in an Enchanting, Over-the-Top Castle Airbnb in New York

No matter whether your fantasies lean more Disney fairy tale or Game of Thrones, the odds are we've all dreamed of escaping into a world of myth, magic, and castles at some point. There's just something about these spectacular old stone buildings that makes people dream of adventure—and countless travelers have visited places like Scotland or Germany to see the remnants of medieval castles. However, if a flight to Europe isn't in your budget plans, fear not—there's a castle Airbnb in New York that's just as spectacular, and can be yours to tour and even stay in!

This massive castle wasn't built by an ancient king; it's the brainchild of a local architect, and the world he's created is truly stunning. It is an ideal destination for a larger group—it sleeps up to eight guests in one of the most unforgettable Airbnbs in the state. Step into Highlands Castle, right next door to the charming Castle Cottage, and discover all this truly unique Airbnb has to offer.

Designed by architect John A. Lavender II, Highlands Castle is a truly spectacular sight. You might be fooled into believing that you just traveled back in time to Scotland—but this is a fully furnished, functioning Airbnb that hosts up to eight guests for the castle getaway of a lifetime. And it's just as spectacular inside as it is outside.

As soon as you enter, you'll be greeted by the Great Hall. The main room is decorated with furnishings right out of a traditional medieval castle, right down to the suits of armor posed intimidatingly at the doorways. This castle strives for authenticity, so you won't find a TV or other modern conveniences here—with a few exceptions. There is WiFi, so you can bring your own devices if you want to watch your shows from a Scottish castle!

Every room of the house is ornately decorated; this is the office workspace, if you're planning to get some remote work done while you're traveling through time. But maybe the most spectacular thing about this castle is the large windows, offering a stunning view of Lake George no matter what direction you're looking in.

The castle features three bedrooms: two with queen beds, one with a king and a sofa bed. All of them have a unique design to make you feel like you're truly waking up in the middle of your royal bedroom every morning of your stay.

And when we say every room, we mean every room! Step into your royal bath chamber for a luxurious bath. The stone designs and wall decorations are impressive, to say nothing of the design of the faucets! But don't worry, your flush toilet will be the envy of every monarch.

You're right near all the amazing recreation on Lake George, but make sure to spend some time exploring the castle, walking along the exterior, and admiring all the unique statues decorating the perimeter.
