Don't miss the utter splendor of the largest historic house museum in the United States—the Hearst Castle—45 minutes from Comfort Inn® & Suites Lamplighter hotel.

This beautifully preserved 250,000 acre estate is the former country home of William Randolph Hearst, who inherited the property in 1919 from his wealthy miner father George Hearst, and subsequently requested famed architect Julia Morgan to spearhead the building of what would become a nearly 40-year project.

The World's Greatest Showplace

By 1947, Hearst christened this land of his magical estate "La Cuesta Encantada" or The Enchanted Hill, which by then included 165 rooms and 127 acres of gardens, terraces, pools and walkways.
