EPIC California "Castle"

This is one of those very special VRBOs in which you race through the home upon arrival to discover each room. It's a long epic drive to the top of the hill to your very private castle house.The kitchen was fully stocked for me to make meals and there are great food options 15 minutes away.I have small kids and it was a little stressful to have them playing around the spiral staircase, but we survived. I'm not holding that against the property.Stunning through and through; we didn't want to leave : )
