The cottage was perfect for the two of us and had everything we needed! There was a pipe line that busted and the hospitality manager put us in another house right away. The privacy was very nice as well as the hot tub. He was very friendly and I would def stay again!

You won't find better!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Castleton and the Blue Ridge Cottage. When you talk about the total package this is it. Getting there was a breeze, the grounds were lovely, the cottage was impeccable, and the hot tub was perfect. Plus there is a well-stocked gym on site and we got to pet and see so many amazing animals. Paul and Connie made our stay truly wonderful and I cannot wait to return. For anyone getting out of 'the city', this is the place to go.

Absolutely lovely

My partner and I stayed at Castleton for my birthday weekend. We were arriving late, so they had the lights and AC on for us, so it was easy to get in and relax without having to check in at the hospitality office. Everything was clean and comfortable. The property was gorgeous, and we loved our views and taking walks around the paths and seeing the cows and the ZONKEY!!. There was a hot tub right outside, and the indoor tub was actually big enough for two. The kitchen was clean and had all the pans and utensils you could need. The only downside was the wifi is kind of spotty, so my partner had trouble connecting to his zoom meetings. Oh, the other downside is the cottage was so comfortable, that we never actually made it to the pool lol Indefinitely want to return for another stay

In order for me to relax, I need in a place that is clean and does not overstimulate. This property exceeded my expectations. Once this property is booked, Connie communicated very clearly what is on the property and what you may need to bring with you.

Wonderful place to stay surrounded by beautiful country with rich history

We really enjoyed our stay at Castleton. Connie and Paul were so nice and took care of anything we needed. The property has so much history and there is a convenient walking path so you can see all the animals. I am a big Civil War buff and there is so much history around that area as well as the Manor house on he property. Also, if you are a golfer like I am there is a really cool par 3 course not far from here and they are dog friendly which is very rare. I would love to visit again sometime!

Awesome weekend getaway!

Very clean and enjoyable cottage to stay in with all amenities provided. Connie was always available and the property was beautiful with miles of rolling hills and plenty of places to walk around the perimeter of the grounds. Our son enjoyed seeing all of the different animals and swimming in the indoor/heated pool & hot tub was a weekend highlight! Absolutely no complaints whatsoever about our stay and we look forward to when we’re able to book another weekend!

Perfect Relaxing Getaway

My wife and I stayed at the Blue Ridge Cottage for a long weekend and absolutely loved it. Everything was clean and everyone working at the property was extremely helpful. The views were gorgeous, the property was practically silent, and the hot tub at our cottage was perfect for unwinding with some nighttime stargazing. The trails were fantastic, and we loved being able to stop and chat with the animals! The goats are especially talkative. Overall, we had a perfect relaxing weekend.

Castleton Blue Ridge Cottage

Overall, the entire estate was lovely, beautifully nestled in the rolling farmland of Rappahannock County. Quiet and peaceful, this was a wonderful respite from the post-election/Covid 19 stress. The cottage was suitable for 2, and we did enjoy our private hot tub! The exterior needs some paint/maintenance, and a couple minor items inside needed tending to after we left, but nothing prevented us from enjoying our stay.
