We discovered great joy serving our guests during our 9 years experience as innkeepers of Trinity Hills Farm Country Inn (1995 to 2004). After its closing, we considered many options as to the next step in our lives, but nothing could compare to Innkeeping. We are greatly blessed in our newest Bed & Breakfast, Aire Castle Inn & Stained Glass Art. The definition of "air castle" is a vision or a dream. Aire Castle Inn is our dream come true as we continue to serve our guests in this special way of life. Our web site also contains extra information about this wonderful area in which we live. Our Aire Castle location offers a beautiful country setting and we are only minutes away from Kentucky Lake and all the lakes area attractions. Or, just stay here and relax by the pool, picnic on the deck, shoot a game of pool; enjoying the amenities of a private retreat. Aire Castle features two large spacious suites and one comfortable guest room, all with private baths and one with a private entrance.

From our ample parking area, guests first come to our covered front porch which runs most of the full length of the front of our home with wicker chairs & swings to enjoy the view from the top of our hill. (Above photo) Our neighbors across the road built a wooden bridge, just for our guests to visit and enjoy their beautiful flower and water garden. You are invited to read a book, or sit and watch the birds and goldfish. Next is the Sunroom where we serve our gourmet breakfast selections. Stained-glass adorned windows down both sides of the room and French doors under twin triangle windows yield a panoramic view of the landscape which includes beautiful Sunsets each evening. Guests enjoy sharing great conversation and much laughter in Aire Castle's Sunroom. What was a sunken living room is now our Game Room, featuring a slate-bed regulation oak frame & wine-colored-felt pool table. Guests enjoy a game of Chess with our Mediaeval style Chess Set in front of the fireplace. Our oak entertainment cabinet has a 100 CD carrousel stereo player for music, lots of puzzles and a dozen or so table-board games for guests to enjoy.
