You Can Stay in an Enchanting Castle Airbnb in South Carolina

There's so much about South Carolina that could be described as enchanting—the historic architecture, the lowcountry scenery, the charming small towns. But I've recently discovered an Airbnb that takes the notion of enchantment to a whole new level: Castle in the Woods. This overnight castle in South Carolina is a stately home where you can stay for a few nights in a private room to live out your most magical, royal-inspired travel dream.

Arriving at Castle in the Woods in Travelers Rest feels a bit like you've left the state of South Carolina altogether and have landed in the middle of a fairytale. This private residence offers one of its exquisite rooms to guests for a magical stay. You won't have the whole space to yourself, but you will have access to some of the most stunning rooms and shared spaces. It's a bit like staying inside a castle-themed hotel, where every amenity has been thought of, and comfort is key.

A quick tour reveals the attention to detail and stunning aesthetic, which guests agree is even lovelier than the photos suggest. Your private guest room is truly fit for a queen, and it's fittingly called the Queen Room. This suite has a private attached bath, luxurious bedding, and a view of the woods. You'll love admiring the intricate details on the wood-carved bed frame and unique artwork in gilded frames. The room sits on the third floor; if mobility is a challenge, an elevator is available.

In addition to your private guest room, you'll have access to a few shared spaces, including the first-floor living room and television, the second-floor balcony and patio, the library, and dining room. You're also welcome to store food and beverages in the refrigerator and make use of the coffee machine. The host is committed to giving guests plenty of space and privacy but is availble for questions should anything come up during your stay.

When you're ready for some fresh air, feel free to explore the property's 10 private acres. Or, continue on to downtown Travelers Rest, which is just a short drive away. For a fun, local place to dine, be sure to check out the Treehouse Cafe & Studio. Prefer to go for a hike? The Bunched Arrowhead Nature Preserve Loop is an easy, 1.3-mile loop through the woods. Greenville is also nearby, with its picturesque Falls Park on the Reedy and the popular Swamp Rabbit Trail.

Returning to your private room in an overnight castle, you'll feel like nothing short of royalty. And, if the reviews are any indication, you'll be planning a return trip in no time. In fact, many travelers have stayed at Castle in the Woods multiple times, which tells me this is a place worth experiencing at least once. So, what do you think? Will you spend the night in a castle? Send this article to a fellow travel enthusiast and let the adventures begin!
