When most people think of castles, they think of places in the UK, Ireland, and Disney, which is why most will be surprised to learn that Colorado is home to a few beautiful palaces of its own, too. If you are looking to get lost in one of these royal dwellings this winter, you will want to visit the incredible Cherokee Ranch & Castle in Colorado:
Tucked away near Sedalia, the Cherokee Ranch & Castle is an incredible structure with an equally astonishing history.

Resembling a 1450s Scottish-style castle, the Cherokee Ranch & Castle boasts several authentic and intricate touches like a locally-sourced rhyolite and petrified wood exterior, heavy wooden doors, and walls lined in antique art.

Housed on a jaw-dropping 3,400 acres, the Cherokee Ranch & Castle has become a Colorado tradition since it was built in the 1920s, and now hosts special events like high teas, concerts, and classes.

While the Castle itself is reason enough to love Cherokee, it is also home to an impressive ranch and wildlife sanctuary where people can go to learn more about Western heritage, cattle ranching, and the wildlife and native ecosystems that inhabit the area.
