Two beautifully remodeled rooms are tastefully themed as a vacation on the river! Float on peaceful waves of calm as you take in the scenery. Clean, comfortable, and the perfect location for exploring the town. Just a few blocks from the famous Berkeley Springs State Park, downtown market and diverse shops.

Two private rooms and ensuite bathroom are located inside historic Castalian Hall. This stunning hundred-year-old victorian is 5,000 sq ft with tons of space. Entire house booking available.

The room offers a luxurious hybrid queen bed with extra pillows for your comfort. Curl up inside our river bed and watch a flick on a brand-new 55” flat screen with Roku. The main room includes a desk with a dedicated work space, chargers, and fast Wi-Fi.

Around Town: The home is just a few blocks walk from the famous Berkeley Springs State Park, downtown market and diverse shops. Located in the center of historic Berkeley Springs, Berkeley Springs State Park is home to a mineral spa that has been in use since colonial times. The park is renowned for its warm spring water, which flows at a constant temperature of 74.3 degrees. The healing spring water is accessable through a channel that runs through the park and is open to the public year round. The park’s Old Roman and Main bathhouses offer a wide selection of spa services, including massages, saunas, baths and showers. Great dining experiences such as Lot 12 are minutes from your front door. If you would like any tips or suggestions about what to do in Berkeley Springs, we are happy to share. This town is such an amazing gem.

There is plenty of parking around the perimeter of the house off the road. There is one private driveway. A ramp on the north side of the house leads onto the porch for easy access. Each door is equipt with a key pad for extra security. Every guest will recieve their own code.

Why they chose this property

The Castalian Hall is in the center of town, only a few blocks away from the Berkeley Springs State Park, the farmers market, downtown shops, and the Roman Baths and spas. It is the perfect place to stay close to the action, but is located in a queit neighborhood so you can come back to unwind after a long day of exploring.

What makes this property unique

In 2022 we visited Berkeley Springs and fell in love with this charming little town. We purchased the historical Castalian Hall, a hundred year old victorian home that was once the boarding house for the Old Dominion Academy. We are happy to share the newley remodeled Castalian Hall in hopes you will be as enchanted with the home and the area as we were.
