Book Your Next Girls' Getaway at This Medieval-Style Castle in Kentucky

Want to live like you're royalty in the Bluegrass State? Set your sights—and vacation plans—on The Kentucky Castle. Located about 30 minutes from Lexington, Kentucky, in the town of Versailles, this medieval-style castle features a boutique hotel, restaurant, spa, and working farm that all work together to create the ideal setting for a ladies' getaway.

"Whether you are seeking bourbon, horses, Kentucky cuisine, or Southern hospitality, The Kentucky Castle is the perfection location to visit. The property boasts a 13-room hotel, farm-to-table restaurant, event venues, a spa, and a working farm, all of which our guests are encouraged to enjoy," Christie Eckerline, Chief Operating Officer of The Kentucky Castle shares with Southern Living. "From the moment each guest arrives they are welcomed and cared for throughout their stay by our wonderful and hospitable staff. [You can] enjoy everything we offer on-site or venture out to see and experience Kentucky...our staff is always happy to facilitate in any way possible."

Situated on more than 100 acres, The Kentucky Castle also makes for an amazing wedding venue or spot to host a private or corporate event. For smaller events, you can book event space in the bourbon hall, dining room, or music room. Larger groups of 75-150 can book the ballroom, and the rooftop hosts as many as 350 guests or 250 for a seated dinner. If it's just you and your gals for a long weekend, be sure to spend sometime in the spa "cottage" for treatments like crytotherapy (cold therapy), massages, and facials.

Throughout the year, The Kentucky Castle puts on a wide range of events that are suited to every type of traveler. Those seeking R&R will love the options for rooftop sunset yoga or goat yoga with the property's baby goats. You can treat you and your gal pals to a ticketed wine and cheese pairings, garden party, or special afternoon tea. For dinner and a show, try one of The Kentucky's Castle's interactive murder mystery dinners. If it's your first visit to the sprawling property, a guided tour of the castle and farm will give you a greater appreciation for the beauty all around you.
