You Can Stay In A Pennsylvania Airbnb That Looks Just Like A Castle

If you've dreamed of living like old royalty, this castle-themed Airbnb in Pennsylvania may be your next vacation destination. The estate, which is just outside the borough of East Stroudsburg, is 2,300 square feet and easily fits 8 guests so that you can bring your whole family or all your closest friends for a quick relaxation session.

No matter what time of year you decide to visit, the views from the castle grounds are stunning. This region on the northeastern side of Pennsylvania is commonly referred to as the Poconos. It is well-known for its wooded hills, vast lakes, and waterfalls, making outdoor recreation very popular in the area. According to Airbnb, the cost to stay at Pocono Castle is $624 per night, with a minimum two-night stay. The highly-rated rental home appears to be extra popular in the summer as they are booked full until early September of this year.

This meticulously decorated Airbnb is newly renovated with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room, a game room, an office, a gourmet kitchen, and a dining room. You'll find the combination game room, living room, and bar on the lowest floor. This spacious area is outfitted with medieval décor and tables to play air hockey, pool, chess, and foosball, as shown on the Airbnb listing. Finding fun things to do inside the house won't be difficult if you book your stay during the wintertime. From watching television to playing dress-up with the provided royalty-themed costumes, kids and adults will stay entertained.

Upstairs on the main floor are the kitchen and dining room. The chef in your family will have no problem cooking your favorite meals because the kitchen comes fully equipped. The hosts provide all the utensils, dishware, and appliances you need as well as some spices, coffee, tea, and creamer. Next door to the kitchen is the dining room which features a table that seats six people. From the table, you have a great view out a large window of the grounds and the pond.

The four bedrooms scattered throughout the home are all decorated in a similar fashion. They include caged-light fixtures, distressed wooden furniture, and royalty-inspired bed sets. Each time you fall asleep, you can't help but dream about battling dragons in a full suit of armor or riding your valiant steed into the night. The bedrooms provide guests with a queen-sized bed, and three of the four rooms have televisions for watching Netflix on the home's high-speed Wi-Fi, as seen on Airbnb.

The bathrooms in this castle are just as fantastical. One of them, connected to the first bedroom, uses a large soaking tub, so you can bathe like royalty while sipping wine and eating fresh fruit. Behind the tub is a fabulous brick wall that stretches onto three walls and matches the counter around the bathroom sink. The other bathroom has a walk-in shower built for two. The antique-looking details all over this room will make you feel like you're living in a fairytale.

A tour of this castle-themed Airbnb is not complete without seeing the yard. Visiting this home during the warmer months will undoubtedly pay off. You will have access to a mini-golf course, a basketball hoop, a life-size outdoor chess board, and a badminton court, as explained by Airbnb. When you bring kids along, they can easily run off their energy playing game after game. For laidback adults, there is even more fun to be had. Around the property, there are multiple outdoor seating areas to tan, drink, and have good conversations with friends and family. 

There is also a 1-acre pond that you can fish in, and the boats are provided. On warmer evenings, you can fire up the grill for some barbequed chicken or hamburgers and sit around the outdoor firepit as the night grows colder. If you're feeling extra chilled, you can also hop in the hot tub or the cedar sauna to warm up and relax after a long day. If you decide to leave the castle grounds, the borough of East Stroudsburg and other nearby areas have a lot to offer. This includes taking your kids to the Camelback indoor waterpark, skiing at Shawnee Mountain, or visiting the Milford or Smithfield beaches, as per Visit Pennsylvania.
