We had a great family vacation at the castle - we loved that the bedrooms were spacious and many had en suite bathrooms, the pool was so clean and spending time in the pool with all the water toys provided was everyone’s favorite part of the trip! The arcade downstairs was super fun for all too. The lakefront at the house was a bit muddy when we went so we didn’t swim there but enjoyed the kayaks! The location is convenient to different places we wanted to go and we especially loved the smith mountain lake beach! ##### Reena P. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brad A.

Owner had decorated the home with lights and even a Christmas tree. The property was awesome! Beautiful views of the lake and lots of outdoor space complete with things to do. The arcade on the bottom floor was a blast in the days that rain kept us inside. I would highly recommend this property to anyone. I would love to come back to this house in the summer. Thank you again! ##### Thomas E. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer W.

There was so much to do that we only left to shop and dinners. We spent our days fishing, kayaking, poolside, out to dinner and then gaming! On repeat for 6 days.. It was fabulous! We will be back! Also, Jamie the host, thought about everything to make our stay cozy from toiletries, beach towels, hair dryers, condiments, etc. All the things you normally would have to buy prior were there at our arrival. It was fantastic!! 5 out 5 stars! ##### Jennifer W. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda W.

Second time we have rented this property. The only negative was on Saturday night a water tanker dumped COLD water into the pool and it was freezing the next day so couldn’t use the pool much. ##### Nancy S.
