The Creepy Castle You Can Stay In For Only 78 Dollars A Night
Airbnb has been a total game changer for many travellers, giving them the option to spend a night (or more) in unique properties with a bit of personality rather than just a standard hotel. There truly is a property for everyone, no matter what your taste is or what you're looking for. And, for any horror fans heading to Saint Paul, Minnesota, there's a creepy castle with a shockingly low price tag of just $78 per night on Airbnb, although of course that's subject to change by the owner. The property is perfect for Airbnb novices, as the host is a superhost with a 4.87 rating and over 200 rave reviews praising the creepy yet cozy space. The "Manor Master Chamber," as the listing is titled on the rental website, features one bedroom and one and a half shared bathrooms within a larger home.
As the owner details in the listing, the property was built in 1883 and was once voted the most mysterious house in Saint Paul by the Pioneer Press. And, if you're not interested in booking a night there but still want to explore the unique space or use it for a spooky party or photoshoot, you can do that as well — the owner mentions that the property can also be booked for everything from video shoots to murder mystery dinners. As a final note in the plus column for dog lovers, the house is also home to a doberman named Scorch.
What can you expect in the spooky spot?
When you lay down at night, you'll be cradled in an iron bed frame with unique leather detailing. The space has stunning architectural details, including an arched doorway and a set of French double doors with glass panes, although they've been covered with some type of material for added privacy. A large antique trunk sits at the foot of the bed, and there are several spooky details throughout, including a framed black-and-white portrait on one night stand and little enclaves in the wall. An ornate mirror has been mounted to the ceiling on one side of the room — perhaps a spot for guests to catch some hair-raising apparitions! The master has dark wood window frames and all the furniture within the space looks antique — a theme that carries on throughout the house.
The rest of the Airbnb is filled with eye-catching details, from a massive mounted buffalo head to a spooky organ. A vintage loveseat that appears to have come right from the era the house was crafted, covered in a soft green velvet fabric, has proven to be the perfect spot for Scorch to take a quick nap. A winding staircase adds some flair to the otherwise simple kitchen.
And, if you get a little too scared, don't worry — remember the rental is a shared space, with guests getting a private space in the master bedroom but shared living spaces in the kitchen, living room, patio, and backyard.
