It makes a certain lovely sense that Versailles, Kentucky has its own castle. The CastlePost is the work of Tom Post who spent millions of dollars restoring the property and creating the unique retreat. The CastlePost has 16 professionally luxury rooms and suites, 12 within the main castle and four two-story royal turret suites on the outer wall which offer scenic views of the rolling green countryside.

According to an article published by USA Today, Post bought the home in 2003 for $1.8 million. The previous owner had started building it in 1969 but had never finished it and it was empty for more than 30 years. Post started improving the home but a fire destroyed it in 2004. Undaunted, he decided to build an even bigger castle and turn it into a bed and breakfast. It has 50 rooms total with a library, sitting room, game room and dining room. The grounds are equally lavish with a large pool, tennis courts, formal garden and a dragon fountain. A 2.5 acre garden provides fresh produce for the castle's kitchen There is also an onsite concierge who can arrange horse farm or bourbon distillery tours. Rates start at $375 for a state room and $1,250 for a turret suite.

A great place to visit and stay in one of their suits, especially now that I am unemployed, loosing my house and the US Government is doing nothing for us, only more money to the big banks and multi-million Dollars companies.

Banks and Big Companies? More money to state governments and unions you mean. The Obama administration is paying back everybody for their votes and ignoring the people of the US. They work on a Healthcare takeover and now Cap and trade, and in the meantime we are losing our jobs and no one is paying attention in DC. And taxes are going up so they can finance their wasteful excess. In the primaries this summer, dump out the incumbents and flush out DC.

I am considering moving to a Senior Citizen's home, which features monthly trips to nearby casions. As someone who's been practicing roulette for years, I have become quite proficient at it.....and although I sometimes lose, I also often win! I take it that staying overnight in this beautiful castle does NOT inlcude trips to nearby casinos?. Until it does -- and/or until the sneakily-passed UIGEA, (Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act) is overturned, and Americans can once more legally gamble online, (as citizens of Lithuania may do!), I will have to
forgo staying at this beautiful castle hotel. At least for the time being.....

awsome would love to visit and stay here, since I can't even afford a vacation and haven't went any where's for nine years, I would feel like I won the lottery.
