Amazing House

Just stayed at this house for the second time and it was just perfect. The house is large and rambling, so after gathering round the patio or in one of the dining rooms, everyone also had a little privacy. The kitchen had all the right tools and multiple fridges and dishwashers made everything so easy. The pool is great, as are the views. Cannot say enough good things about the Meadows!

Beautiful getaway with family

Castleton is an absolute beautiful property that was enjoyed by us all. It was great to take a break from our busy lives and just enjoy each other. We stayed in the Meadows home, which was clean and it fit our large family. The property manager was wonderful to work with. We highly recommend and can't wait to go back!

Meadows is a beautiful house. We were a group of 16 people and each and everyone of us had loved it.

Connie was so prompt in responding and made sure we had everything that we needed. This property has a private swimming pool which each of us have enjoyed and the views of green landscaping are amazing. Best place for a family or friends gathering and we would definitely go back

Lots of Space & Beautiful Grounds

There was a ton of room for us, in the most beautiful setting! The home was well stocked with supplies. Some things in need of repair (door locks, etc) but nothing that brought down the quality of our stay. I would recommend for a good size group.

Beautiful, great value, peaceful and relaxing

This property was much better than expected, and expectations were pretty high. Tons of room, multiple fridges, bedrooms, beds, amenities such as corn hole, basketball hoop, bikes, lake, boats, too many to list. Very peaceful, no one else to bother you. Great pool, kitchen, plenty of space and land. Fantastic!

Amazing Stay!

My family and I had a great time at the Meadows home this past weekend! The home is very large and accommodated our group which included adults and children. Connie was very responsive throughout the whole process which made things very easy for us, she even took the first guests that arrived on a tour of the property, thank you Connie! The only thing I would mention is the lighting outside/around the pool area at night is limited, but other than that great home, location, and hospitality! We look forward to visiting again.

Beautiful Property

Wonderful stay for our multi generational family vacation on this beautiful expansive property (group of 22 - We also rented Mountain View guest house) The house is large. The kitchen is well equipped - Ample amount of refrigerators/freezers and two dishwashers is a plus! The pool is amazing and accommodated our large group with plenty of room. Would recommend renting a golf cart to enjoy this immense property. We enjoyed visiting Shenandoah National Park, Luray Caverns, and wineries which our nearby.

Great house in a great setting

Wonderfully large house that easily accommodated our 18 people. House is very well furnished and equipped - beyond what we even expected. Great setting with lots of surrounding open lan, tennis courts, fishing/paddling pond, and nearby farm animals. Had fire put outside with lots of outdoor seating on the patio. They even supplied firewood. Communication was great. Would highly recommend!!!

Wonderful Relaxing week!

We had 16 family members of all ages on this trip and everyone had a great time! There were things to do for all ages on the property. The pool, of course was a big hit and the teens loved fishing/boating at the pond. The little ones really enjoyed seeing the animals and all of the kids loved having s’mores at the firepit in the evening. The house is big enough that you can spread out into your own space if you would like. We would definitely come back to this property!

Wedding Weekend

The house was amazing! So much bigger than pictures show. We hosted our rehearsal dinner here and it had plenty of space. The scenery was amazing and although we didn’t have our wedding here, it would have been great place. Everyone I interacted with was great and so helpful. Someone came to fix the dishwasher immediately. Would definitely stay again!!
