Thornewood Castle

Do you want to feel like royalty while in Washington? Then go to Thornewood Castle on Lake America. It chilled me with it's beauty and history.

Spending time in the five hundred year old Thornewood Castle made me feel like royalty. Although Thornewood came to Washington from England in 1907, it still has the feel of a small castle. I stayed in a condo attached to the castle, but was given a key so that I could go in it at anytime I wanted, which was amazing! Going into Thornewood late at night gave me chills but also filled me with excitement. Maybe it was the creaky floors, the ancient paintings, the mirror hall, or the many rooms that created quite an eerie but intriguing ambiance.

“Thornewood is a place where beauty and mystery intertwine perfectly together."

Highlights

Thornewood was a lovely castle to stay in and I would suggest anyone looking for a weekend getaway or wedding spot to look into Thornewood. http://www.thornewoodcastle.com/ I experienced a wonderful condo that included a full kitchen and snacks. The breakfast was also absolutely spectacular. I received a full meal including fruit, yogurt, toast, bacon, a scone, a quiche, orange juice, tea(or coffee), all well plated. Thornewood will forever entice those young or old to discover it's ellegance.
