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!

Beautiful Property!

I held a get together with friends for a weekend at Castleton Meadows and we absolutely loved it. The peoperty is well stocked in the kitchen, provided firewood and starters, and plenty of linens. Everyone in our group loved the home. It's centrally locates to a lot of local vineyards, breweries, and orchards so lots to do! We plan on coming back again.

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

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.

Our Retreat at the Meadows was absolutely wonderful!! The Meadows large enough for our party of 14, yet super cosy at the same time. The scenery, the grounds, the sereneness of the drive out to Castleton were all enjoyable! Thanks to Connie and the rest of the Castleton Team, we very much enjoyed ourselves and hope to be back again! Cheers - Vance

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!
