Perfect location to stay for a wedding at Castle Farms

Nice fire pit good lovarion
4 of us went for a girls weekend. The house was pretty clean but very worn. The big issues were safety. We were 4 women in the woods and the back door wouldn't lock. The porch door would lock but was not something that would keep anyone from breaking in. There were no lights whatsoever in the backyard. 4 lights on the stairs that didn't work and no other lights. There were no smoke or carbon dioxide detectors. There were wires hanging where one should be. We had a huge problem our first night with lots and lots of moths. Between us killing them and the kitchen light probably 50. There were also bees. The owner said they weren't there when she was there earlier and then said they might be coming in through the window air conditioners. All the air conditioners had large gaps. We plugged them with paper towels as best we could. The fire pit our back was nice but none of us were comfortable staying there.

Perfect for our family wedding weekend!
Location, location, location! Nestled in a wooded area, but very close to Castle Farms. Homemade bread, farm fresh eggs, and a beautiful, comfortable home ! The layout was perfect, and backyard firepit area is gorgeous. The owner was very quick to respond if we had questions. I highly recommend!

The property was perfect for a wedding at castle farms, just minutes away. The outdoor firepit area was awesome. We lacked flashlights and forgot how dark it gets but the experience was wonderful.

Perfect Location for Castle Farms Wedding
This property checked all the boxes for my family. Close to the wedding venue, several beds, nice, affordable. But manager Mary Jo went above and beyond with her customer service, helping me with all of my requests!

Great House!
We truly enjoyed our stay! The house is in a great location to Castle Farms for the wedding we attended and the downtown area. There are very nice parks close to the house if you bring small children. The house has a very large kitchen and living room area. The owner was super helpful and responded to any questions immediately. We all enjoyed watching the deer that were outside around the house as well.
