For twenty years, plus, now three generation of friends have gathered for three days to reconnect. This is the first year we ventured to gather outside the Shenandoah Valley. We were not disappointed! Friends from OH, NC, WVA, PA and Maryland spent months carefully researching and we found a great match in Spotswood for what we wanted. Friends from ages 13 to 80+ enjoyed three days of fishing in nearby pond, hiking on and off the property, cooking delicious food on the garden grill and spacious kitchen, and exploring the gardens with our cameras. This elegantly furnished spacious estate provided ample rooms for us to be together or to slip quietly into a corner either to read, chat, or play games. From the moment we began inquiries, property manager patiently answered our many questions. She then responded enthusiastically to our needs once we arrived onto the property. We unanimously recommend Spotswood for gathering.
