Wine weekend getaway
The location of this property was perfect for our visit. Could travel in any direction and visit very nice wineries within minutes. The home was very clean, secluded, and had all of the necessary ammedeties. The walking trail was a great way to start each day.

Hidden Gem near Shenandoah
We loved our stay at Twin Ponds. Our young children spent hours fishing and running around outside. We didn't have to argue with them about screentime because they were too busy to think about tablets. Everything was clean and maintained from the home, the estate, and the trails. We particularly enjoyed the menagerie as well. Great getaway for a family.

Loved the place hate Vrbo
The property and home were wonderful. Big house with a well stocked kitchen. We loved hanging outside in the grass backyard. We will definitely come again. VRBO is deceptive and I will not rent through them again. They didn’t include the cleaning fee in their listing and confirmation so it seemed like it was cheaper on their site. But surprise, the rental adds it on and sends a second higher invoice. Bad business.

Beautiful setting in the countryside. Rooms were spacious and we loved early mornings in the hot tub. Everyone had a go at ping pong and there was plenty of room for playing games. Two fridges in the kitchen were a plus!

Twin Ponds
Property is really great if you're looking for something a bit out of the way. Culpepper is still only around 30 minutes away, and has several great options for food or entertainment. We preferred to walk the trail on the property and simply enjoy each others company, and the property was excellent for that. Would certainly reccomend.

Great view of fall colors!
We had a wonderful time at the Twin Ponds House. We spent the day in Shenandoah and then the evenings in the hot tub and around the fire. The kitchen was wonderfully large for our big group, just wish it had a few more basic kitchen items like foil/plastic wrap etc. The living and dining areas were also great though we spent most time outside. Beds were comfortable, but it does get chilly at night!

Beautiful quiet location
I loved my stay at Twin Ponds. The location was extremely private and Serene. Castleton is about 15 minutes from the nearest town, so the area is a bit isolated. For me that is a good thing. I wanted some privacy and quiet, and the area is beautiful rolling hills, mostly unpopulated. But with that said, you can drive 5 minutes up the road to the Laurel Mills General Store, and they have most basics available to you in terms of food and other supplies. If you want a restaurant or a bigger store, it's about a 15 minute drive to one of the nearby towns. The house itself is spacious and comfortable. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms where occupants can sleep comfortably and privately. Very large kitchen which is well appointed. I did not do any cooking, but everything you need for meal preparation is there. Some people have commented that the internet and TV service can be a little spotty in bad weather. The weather was good when I was there, so I did not experience that. The internet and television were fine. The living room / TV area has a excellent big screen TV for those who want to relax and watch some TV programming or stream netflix, Etc. The check in and check out were very easy. On the way in you have to stop by the main office and pick up the key. But that only took a minute, and the office is only about half a mile from the house. All in all, I enjoyed my stay and I would not hesitate to stay there again

Perfect vacation place!
There were 6 of us ranging in ages 3 to 70 and 2 pups. Everyone had their own bedroom and bath. Plenty of space! The home was perfect. It was clean, neat and everything you could think of was there. We just had to bring our own food and seasonings which I prefer. We made day trips to Luray caverns, Va Safari park and historicial Winchester for the Civil War Museum, Stonewall Jackson and George Washington's headquarters and Patsy Cline's house. The corner grocery store was amazing along with the farm animals on the property. Restaurants were very good, but a little drive to get to them. We made it special every night going someplace different. We had a few questions and Connie Payne answered each one quickly. Everyone there was friendly and helpful. We didn't turn on tv once while we were there as we spent them time talking about what to do and what we did. Our family will rent this place again. Many thanks to Connie and her husband for being so wonderful!

We had a group of 4 couples, 3 kids and 2 toddlers over NYE and it was fabulous. The home was clean, well kept, neat and well stocked with home essentials. The property was very kid friendly with games in the garage for kids and high chair for infants. Connie was really accommodating to work with. The indoor pool is a must!

My wife and I were looking for a change of pace and scenery from our area in NY, and dragged some friends along for the trip. Castleton Meadows is a beautiful property, and we took full advantage of what it had to offer. Connie was lovely, as was Paige, Tommy, and the rest of the team. We hope to come back sometime.

Perfect for Pups
This house is perfect for a getaway with your dog(s). We had 7 adults and 2 dogs and the space in the house was great. We walked the trail that runs throughout the Castleton Property several times while we were there. We enjoyed seeing all the animals (goats, emu, donkey, pig, zonkey and lama) and all the wildlife (deer, wild turkey, ground hog) We also LOVED spending time on the screened porch that looks out on one of the ponds. The house is at the end of the lane so it's quiet and very private. Checking in was so easy and pleasant thanks to Connie. We highly recommend this lovely property!
