If you’ve ever wanted to live like royalty—or at least pretend for a weekend—there’s a castle in Snohomish County that’s turning that fantasy into reality.
Tucked away on an 18-acre estate, “High Rock Castle” is a medieval-style Airbnb that hosts up to eight guests and has quickly become a standout stay in Monroe.
The experience starts the moment you walk through the doors.Guests are greeted by a towering Great Hall lined with suits of armor and lit by iron chandeliers, setting the tone for a stay that leans fully into fantasy.
The more than 3,000-square-foot home features four bedrooms, including a sprawling King Suite with a spa soaking tub, dual marble shower, turret sitting room, and even a secret passage. Yes—an actual secret passage.
The home is filled with detailed touches, from pegged hickory floors and handcrafted wood doors to iron fixtures imported from England. There’s also a chef’s kitchen outfitted with a massive island, double oven, and specialty appliances, making it just as functional as it is theatrical.
And then there’s the fun factor. Guests can sip tea in a turret, dress up in provided costumes, or host a full-on game night in the Great Hall. The space has proven especially popular with fans of fantasy worlds like Dungeons & Dragons, with one guest writing, “We rented the castle for a long weekend of Dungeons & Dragons, and we had a blast!”
Outside, the property leans even further into the experience. The grounds include hiking trails, gardens, waterfalls, a koi pond, and even life-sized dragon sculptures scattered across the estate. A firepit at the ridge offers a place to wind down at night, whether with s’mores or a glass of wine overlooking the valley.
The castle is pet-friendly and includes modern essentials like Wi-Fi and self-check-in via smart lock, blending convenience with the immersive setting.
One visitor described the stay as “a truly magical experience,” adding that it felt like being transported to a medieval retreat—just with modern comforts.
Whether it’s a birthday getaway, a themed weekend with friends, or just an excuse to do something different, the listing is built for people looking to escape the ordinary. For at least a few days, life here isn’t about emails or errands—it’s about stepping into a story.
