Ravenwood Castle

Ravenwood Castle is a go-to vacation spot for my friends and family. The accommodations are varied, well-maintained and each room is unique! The staff are friendly, welcoming, and want your stay to be special - whoever you are. It is absolutely a great place for a couple or a family to stay and relax.

While you are there, check out their board game library - I've not seen the like outside of a private collection. I also strongly recommend any of their regular special events. Whether you are into games, outdoor theater or murder mysteries, there is a little something for everyone during these always entertaining weekends.

Take a step back in time while enjoying the weekend at Ravenwood Castle. Located in New Plymouth, about an hour southeast of Columbus, Ravenwood is a picturesque Medieval Castle that looks like someone transported it from England. Walking the grounds, you’ll expect a gallant knight or graceful queen to pass you any moment.

Ravenwood is the perfect retreat for couples who enjoy a good mystery. The castle offers Murder Mystery experiences hosted by their venerable Ravenwood Detective Agency. Guests can help the RDA solve open cases spanning history, from Medieval murders to modern-day tales of dastardly deeds.

After solving your mystery, you’ll love relaxing in the comfortable chambers set aside for your visit. Each room or cabin has a themed name, like “Rapunzel’s Tower” and “The Candlemaker’s Cottage.”

The food at Ravenwood Castle won’t disappoint you, either. For breakfast, enjoy delicious cinnamon rolls in the Great Hall, grab a bite for lunch at the Raven’s Pub, and wind down for dinner back at the Great Hall. (Just make sure to make those reservations for dinner!)

We think a visit here is one of the best romantic getaways in Ohio!
