About the host

Hosted by mike walsh

Host profile image
We live in Manhattan Beach in LA but bought this property and fell in love with it. We updated the castle extensively to make it feel like home. You'll love it as much as we do. Enjoy tennis, hoops, pickleball and follow it up with a soak in the hot-tub!

Why they chose this property

This little town is like a Hallmark town. Be sure to check out Lexington Social for an incredible meal, and Analytical Brewing for a great beer! Enjoy all the small shops along the way.

What makes this property unique

The Castle sits on 42 pristine acres. There are so many great spots for a walk or bike along the property. Enjoy the stream and watch out for the deer that call this property home.
