If watching The Traitors has you dreaming of a castle getaway, get your suitcase ready: Airbnb is chock-full of medieval-esque mansions that will make you feel like you’re on an episode of the reality competition show.

Never watched The Traitors? Chances are, one of your favorite celebrities has been on it, competing in challenges and joining roundtable discussions to help—or sometimes hinder—the search for the "traitors" among them. As if it couldn't get any more exciting, the show is filmed in the historic Ardross Castle, in the Scottish Highlands.

While you can’t actually stay at Ardross Castle (though you can host a wedding there), I’ve found five stunning castle Airbnbs that are just as gorgeous—perfect for a weekend escape inspired by The Traitors (whether or not there's any dramatic backstabbing involved). While I can't guarantee Alan Cumming will join your party, these locations more than make up for it.

If you have extra miles, the Lomond Castle penthouse in Argyll and Bute, Scotland is worth considering for your entire family. Between Egyptian cotton sheets, modern showers and room-darkening shades, it'll be easy to feel like a queen (or a traitor) in this luxe location. However, one reviewer said, "The highlight of our stay was sitting on the beautiful grass overlooking the loch." That's right, the castle sits right on Loch Lomand, the largest freshwater loch (lake) in Great Britain. Since the accommodations include a private living room and dining room that provide enough space for social gatherings, you can even host your very own murder mystery during your stay.

Another Scottish escape that'll have you living out your Traitors fantasies, the historic Glenternie house is tucked away in a beautiful valley in the Scottish countryside and dates back to 1870. Thanks to its Victorian setup with velvet armchairs, fireplaces and glittering chandeliers, this stay will make you feel like a fancy aristocrat as soon as you walk through the doors. Since a charming town is just four miles from the castle, you can sightsee, shop and eat like the locals during the day, and even request a three-course dinner from your host in the evening. Each bedroom has two single beds, making it ideal for couples.

Castles in the U.S.? They exist! With its spiral staircases, arched windows and stained glass galore, you would think that this Southern stay in Georgia was the actual castle from the show. In addition to two bedrooms and two bathrooms, it has a large dining room, perfect for hosting a Traitors-inspired dinner. Meanwhile, the fireplace and hot tub will help you unwind after a day of treasure hunting. Because did I mention that this castle includes a treasure hunt for every guest? Yup—do yourself a favor and book now before your preferred dates disappear.

Located in central Scotland, this picturesque castle is the next best thing to The Traitors mansion. Your booking in the castle apartment can include up to four people, so you can pack up your fam or make it your next girls' trip. Either way, you can look forward to the property's spectacular gardens and prime location for visiting the nearby Blair Drummond Safari Park, Loch Katrine and the Trossachs.

Love canopy beds? This princess-worthy château apartment in France is packed with them, plus a walk-in shower and a private terrace—perfect for covert meetings à la the show. Reviewers note that upon arrival, the host gives you a tour of the castle so you can learn about its fascinating history. It's also located a stone's throw from a water park, museums and plenty of parks, and is just a 45-minute drive from the Mediterranean Sea, making it a great choice for a summer holiday.
