An absolutely wonderful stay at a beautiful property. We felt like royalty at this beautiful home. It was spacious, well kept, and had great amenities. Plenty of room and everything you could need to bring friends and family together. We especially loved the picturesque property, and enjoyed the pool, the tennis courts, and visiting the farm animals. Connie and staff were very helpful and communicative about procedures

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 Property

Wonderful stay for our multi generational family vacation on this beautiful expansive property (group of 22 - We also rented Mountain View guest house) The house is large. The kitchen is well equipped - Ample amount of refrigerators/freezers and two dishwashers is a plus! The pool is amazing and accommodated our large group with plenty of room.

Absolutely Wonderful!

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

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!

Wonderful Relaxing week!

We had 16 family members of all ages on this trip and everyone had a great time! There were things to do for all ages on the property. The pool, of course was a big hit and the teens loved fishing/boating at the pond. The little ones really enjoyed seeing the animals and all of the kids loved having s’mores at the firepit in the evening. The house is big enough that you can spread out into your own space if you would like. We would definitely come back to this property!

Amazing Family Get Away

We loved staying at Caselton! We will definitely be back. Loved the home and property. Lots to do for families. We went on long walks on the vast property and paths. Played tennis, basketball, ping pong, corn hole, lots of fun indoor and yard games. Used the hot tub. Built fires outside and in. The tennis court and pond were right out the front door. We feed and saw the many animals on property. The best were all super comfortable, which is key. Great space for families and larger groups. Connie and the team there was great. Highly recommended!
