Two little princesses in Michigan just got their very own castle.
Adam Boyd, 39, built his daughters Avery, five, and Violet, two, an amazing two-story playhouse in their backyard in Highland, Michigan.
The palace has a rock wall, a slide and a loft. Boyd said he plans to add a zip line.

Boyd spent his weekends and free time this summer building the 24-ft home for his daughters. An inscription is shown above
The 24-ft structure has 8-ft ceilings with purple walls inspired by the girls’ favorite colors.
Boyd said it took ‘quite a while’ to complete the home. He worked on it during his free time and on weekends, sometimes with five-year-old Avery’s help.
‘That was the most rewarding part of it,’ he told ABC News. ‘She was sanding the crown molding with me. She loved it.’
Once the elaborate playhouse was completed, it became one of the family’s favorite places to spend time together.
‘My wife and the girls went up there and ate lunch in it all summer. She’s a teacher so they spent a lot of time out there,’ he said.

Boyd’s sister Rachel Goldsworthy photographed the girls enjoying their new palace.
‘Photographing them was just a big play date. I had to take breaks to have tea parties,’ she said.
Boyd is the president of Atb Building Inc. Atb posted photos of the home on Facebook.
Boyd said he’s gotten so much positive feedback on the project that he is now starting a new venture called Spoiled Rotten Homes that will create over-the-top playhouses for kids.
‘A lot of people, friends and family included, thought I was nuts for doing what I did, but I’m very satisfied with the outcome,’ he said.
‘I’m happy to watch them play in it, and play in it with them. It’s worth every penny I’ve spent and it’s gonna be there forever.’
