The Wizard's Escape Room
The notorious 4 marauders created a very detailed secret map of the castle. While exploring the castle, they found 7 secret passageways out of the castle. At night, they used their animus spell to sneak out of the castle and explore. Now the castle is under attack. You must use your Wizard skills to uncover the 7 passageways. The dilemma you face is that YOU KNOW WHO has destroyed 6 of the passageways, and he is not aware that there is a 7th way out. You have 60 minutes to escape the correct secret passageway.
Gryf Escape Room
While you are at the castle, your triumphs will earn your House points, while any rule-breaking will lose House points. At the end of the hour, the House with the most points is awarded the House cup, a great honor indeed. Points are awarded to the House where the student in question belonged to when he or she did good deeds, correctly answered a question in class, won an inter-house Quidditch match or solved puzzles. Take your house stones and put them in the hour glass before your time is up. The first one to escape wins the House Cup!

Scavenger hunt. Spend hours finding th 7 cruxes and other magical items throughout the castle, and only one person can win a special prize.

Game room features pool table, foosball table, and bumper pool table.

Each bedroom has a trundle roll away underneath. So you can sleep 15 in beds. Early and late check available free depending on cleaners schedule.

A Wizards Paradise!

This house truly is magical - the attention to wizarding details is unlatched - with plenty to keep busy just enjoying the house. Would definitely recommend to both wizards & muggles alike!

Family getaway

Our family had such magical time at the property! Each room was full of surprises and little details for the Harry Potter lover! Our favorite room was the potion room! We had such fun participating in the scavenger hunt and of course the escape room! Nate and his team did a fantastic job! Thank you!!

Amazing Surprise Birthday Getaway

This property is amazing for Harry Potter fans and anyone who’s not. I booked the house with a group of friends for a surprise 30th birthday party. There were 15 in our group and the house was huge so there was plenty of room for everyone! We thoroughly enjoyed going through the different rooms of the house and exploring all the intricate details. Each room is decorated in a different Harry Potter theme and it was so fun to look at all the magical details. The owner Nate was really friendly and helpful with the themed escape room and scavenger hunt. The house was well appointed and everyone slept comfortably! I definitely recommend and would love to come back.

Surprises around every corner

This property was truly a unique experience with something for every age group. There was so much room for everyone and we were all able to hang out together or separate to our own space all with our own bathroom. We had all age groups from 10-48 and everyone enjoyed so much about their stay. We all loved the escape room and had so many good laughs while completing that. Just roaming the house and looking at all the details was fun. The teens loved the Alexa and not only that it played Harry Potter music throughout the house but also that they could play their music and dance through the halls. The scavenger hunt was so much fun and we found everything except one item and I will have to return next year just to find that final item as it will haunt me hahaha The host was great. He communicated things as the trip went so it was all a surprise and not all just dumped on you at once and overwhelmed you. The place was spotless and all furnishing are high end. The beds were so comfortable that everyone commented on it as usually when you travel the beds are the most dreaded part but not here. Even the blankets were soft and perfect. Each room was styled to the house perfectly as well. We will definitely return with more friends when the additions will be complete for an extension of our experience. The area was also Very nice with many restaurants to choose from. We also visited Harper’s Ferry while we were in the area which was a nice day trip.

Yarn Group Retreat - Unique Experience

This incredible Harry Potter house was quite the experience! My all-adult yarn group decided to stay here because we needed a large meeting space (the Great Hall) as well as rooms for us to sleep and lounge in. If you go, there's always a little corner to peek into with something new. Even the rooms that weren't "done" yet, are still in line with the HP themes. If you're an HP fan - give this place a go! Would totally recommend. (And I look forward to the additions when they're installed!) Hints for staying - the actual initial entrance is on the RIGHT side of the house (facing the front from the road). Enter the code and push the button on the TOP of the doorknob - this is not a regular door knob with a key or code. The owner has multiple phone numbers and was a little difficult to get ahold of but did finally come through when we were having issues getting into the building initially. The parking directions are clear but make sure you keep a mobile driver on the outside edges just in case. Not much room to shuffle cars around. If you use GPS - the driveway is misleading on the apps so watch out! If you're planning on cooking and need speciality tools - bring your own. Take-out menus would be a nice addition - but you will have to travel at least 20 minutes to the nearest pizza/chinese/grocery store. Not hard to get to - but not walking distance. I've been recommending this place to my wider group of friends and would stay again if the right opportunity came along.
