Spend a Romantic Night in a Real Castle
If you’ve ever driven from Lexington to Versailles then you have certainly noticed the Kentucky Castle.

Book a table at the restaurant, a room for the night and keep checking their Eventbrite page for Valentine’s events as they typically host something special.
