Girls Weekend Birthday Castle

I booked this property as a weekend getaway birthday present for Mr wife and her friends. They had a great time. The property was beautifully clean and maintained. The communication with the owner was incredible and the weekend could not have gone any better.

Castle

Overall we had an absolutely lovely stay at the castle. The beds and bedding were amazing! So cozy and comfortable. There was a small mixup before checkin but the owner fixed it and everything was smooth after that. Would highly recommend.

Omgoodness! What a delightful time we had in this Tahlequah icon for our cousin's game weekend. The decor is beautifully done (hats off to the decorator), and the age of this castle is definitely at play in the quirkiest of ways (see basement). I am a long ago graduate of NSU, and I enjoyed reading the castle history to my family. Every room is very comfortable, and I loved the turrets. The location and grounds are perfect! Sean, the owner, met our every need. I wish we could have stayed longer, to enjoy this historic town, too. Thank you, Sean, for helping to make our memories the best! We would stay again in a heartbeat.
