Perhaps you’ve heard of Thornewood Castle, the “house that love built,” that sits on the shores of American Lake in Lakewood. But if you’ve ever had the privilege of staying there, you know that it’s an experience like no other and something you’ll never forget. Add this place to your travel bucket list, because it’s truly one of the best castles in the US!
Driving to the castle is a surreal experience. You'd never guess you're just minutes from I-5.
Chester bought the 400-year-old Elizabethan manor in England and had it dismantled and shipped, brick by brick, to Lakewood to be included in the building of Thornewood. Construction took three years to complete, from 1908 to 1911. Chester had the castle and gardens built as a gift to his wife, Anna Thorne.
The movie, which aired in 2002, was filmed mostly at Thornewood over a six month period in 2000.
The Presidential Suite has hosted both President Theodore Roosevelt and President William Taft, which is how it earned its name.
As you might expect, rooms and suites here aren't cheap -- the Rose Red Suite costs $297.50 per night, even in the off season. But those who have stayed will tell you it's well worth it.
Every Washingtonian should get the chance to stay here.
