The Red Castle Inn Historic Lodgings

Built as the city mansion for the Williams family whose ranches were too far from town to be convenient, the red brick Gothic Revival four story landmark termed the 'castle rising upon the hill' in 1859, is singularly unique in style and setting creating the experience of stepping into the 19th century. Meandering garden paths, Koi swimming in a moonlit fountain, Victorian sentiments, ceremony and entertainment transport our guests to that period known as the 'Tasteful Interlude'.
