Welcome to Graystone Castle, a luxury Castle completed in 2018 with all the amenities you seek; just 1 hour from Seattle or the Canadian border.

A mystery mansion, an adventure, some limitations
We booked a 5-day stay here for a multi-family "Dungeons and Dragons in a Castle" event. The castle itself is ornate and large. High ceilings, wood paneling, rock and hardwood floors. This whole place has echoes of the Winchester Mystery House. It is a fun location for a big event. With 6 families, we initially laughed at the various sitting rooms and gaming rooms, but by the end of the weekend, most of them had seen some use. That stated, the place also had several challenges. It has no internet and limited access by mobile hotspot. This isn't advertised on the VRBO listing and it wasn't noted in their multi-page visitor checklist. We had to adjust major planned events as a result of this. The place has serious accessibility issues. There are 5 or 6 different beds designed for kids, but not a single bathroom had even a step stool for kids to wash their hands. There are short stairs everywhere. Impossible for wheelchair users, but people with cans won't like this either. There's no air conditioning, but there's also no ventilation in general. Temperature control was very difficult. You could open a window, but many of them didn't have working screens, which meant bugs. Lastly, some stuff didn't work. The kitchen microwave was broken, the butler pantry microwave couldn't cook popcorn. Bluray player had no remote, couldn't play HD blurays. Playstation controllers mostly broken. Kitchen had no broom. Common rooms had no blinds. Premium price, not a premium experience.

Amazing house! We had a great time.
We had a family reunion at the house for 5 days 4 nights to celebrate my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. The house is so big and has so many features that we spent most of our time in the house. All of us really enjoyed our time there and my daughter asked if she could come back every year! I highly recommend everyone that has a big group of people and would like to spend the quality time together and looking for a place to stay. Emily the property manager has been extremely helpful before our stay, and during our stay.

Amazing Spot!
This was our second time staying here; the fact that we wanted to come back should be evidence enough. We have a large group of 25 people and this home was large enough to accommodate all of us. It's well stocked, checking in is easy, and it's as lovely as you hope. Don't miss out! We're already talking about when we want to come back for our third time.

Great escape from the daily grind
I took my teens and some of their friends for 3 nights and we had an amazing time. There were so many activities to do and rooms to explore. The kitchen was nicely stocked with everything needed for feeding all the hungry teens. The movie theater was luxurious. It was overall amazing and we will probably go again.

A perfect stay
My partner and I renewed our vows with a small gathering of friends and family. It was the happiest day of our lives, and our friends and family all agreed that this was one of the best vacations we have ever taken. What an incredible adventure, and a memory that will never fade.
