One of the things we love best about New Hampshire is just how casual life here is. Residents are kind, down-to-earth, and many have roots that go back for generations. But despite all of that, we can’t deny the allure of feeling like royalty. If you crave some of the fancier things in life, you might want to check out this rental on the same property as a local castle. You might not be the actual king or queen, but you can certainly feel like it.

Kimball Castle has been sitting in Gilford, overlooking Lake Winnipesaukee, for more than 120 years.

The 20-acre private property has some of the best views of New Hampshire’s most famous lake, and it’s just perfect for a quiet escape.

That’s because the innkeeper’s cottage that sits near the castle has been newly renovated into three different suites and is available for nightly rentals.

There’s one bedroom, but the suites sleep three guests comfortably.

The bathrooms are nothing short of luxurious, making it feel like you’re worthy of sleeping in the nearby castle.

And while visitors aren’t able to access the castle right now, sitting on the porch of the innkeeper’s cottage, looking out over the lake with Mount Washington in the distance, is as royal as it comes.

The Innkeeper’s Cottage at Kimball Castle can be booked year-round by visiting this listing on Airbnb. One night is approximately $300. There are quite a few open weeks throughout 2021 and 2022, but they can fill up so be sure to make your plans quickly.

Don’t let your exploration of the state end there. With attractions galore, the small town of North Conway, New Hampshire is perfect for a family getaway.
