like a king in a castle... in Kentucky?

When I think of Kentucky, I think of fried chicken, the Derby and Maker's Mark. And although this southern state is the proud home of all three, there's a new attraction in town. No, it's not another bluegrass festival. It's the Castle Post. Even though this stone fortress is only about 40 years young, it has an interesting history. This article in the Courier Journal is pretty insightful, and don't forget the video tour.

If this Kentucky castle is your idea of vacationing like royalty, be sure to check out the price tag first.
Because for the same cost of 24-hour exclusive use of The Castle Post, you could stay here in an Italian villa for a week and here in this Scottish castle for a week and my favorite family vacation beach house in the Outer Banks of North Carolina for a week and still have some change for your next trip (an estimated 11k).

However, if you live near Woodford County this estate would be worth a visit.
