This was our second time staying here; the fact that we wanted to come back should be evidence enough. We have a large group of 25 people and this home was large enough to accommodate all of us. It's well stocked, checking in is easy, and it's as lovely as you hope. Don't miss out! We're already talking about when we want to come back for our third time.

I took my teens and some of their friends for 3 nights and we had an amazing time. There were so many activities to do and rooms to explore. The kitchen was nicely stocked with everything needed for feeding all the hungry teens. The movie theater was luxurious. It was overall amazing and we will probably go again.

We booked a 5-day stay here for a multi-family "Dungeons and Dragons in a Castle" event.
The castle itself is ornate and large. High ceilings, wood paneling, rock and hardwood floors. This whole place has echoes of the Winchester Mystery House. It is a fun location for a big event.
With 6 families, we initially laughed at the various sitting rooms and gaming rooms, but by the end of the weekend, most of them had seen some use.
That stated, the place also had several challenges.
It has no internet and limited access by mobile hotspot. This isn't advertised on the VRBO listing and it wasn't noted in their multi-page visitor checklist. We had to adjust major planned events as a result of this.
The place has serious accessibility issues. There are 5 or 6 different beds designed for kids, but not a single bathroom had even a step stool for kids to wash their hands. There are short stairs everywhere. Impossible for wheelchair users, but people with cans won't like this either.
There's no air conditioning, but there's also no ventilation in general. Temperature control was very difficult. You could open a window, but many of them didn't have working screens, which meant bugs.
Lastly, some stuff didn't work. The kitchen microwave was broken, the butler pantry microwave couldn't cook popcorn. Bluray player had no remote, couldn't play HD blurays. Playstation controllers mostly broken. Kitchen had no broom. Common rooms had no blinds.
Premium price, not a premium experience.

My partner and I renewed our vows with a small gathering of friends and family. It was the happiest day of our lives, and our friends and family all agreed that this was one of the best vacations we have ever taken. What an incredible adventure, and a memory that will never fade.

Emily was fantastic to work with and answered all of my questions.
The house was clean, organized and a perfect location for our out of town guests to gather for a long 80th birthday celebration.
I couldn’t of been happier with the quality and comfort of this massive beautiful house.
Thank you!

Our friend group occasionally rents a large property to spend a weekend playing board games. We were so impressed with the space it had more tables than we could honestly ask for, and I'm sure that's the first time you've had that compliment. We liked it so much we'll definitely be back.

As great as advertised
Perfect location for reunion of college friends and their families with ages ranging from infant to mid-40s. Even though it rained most of the weekend everyone stayed entertained with the movie theater, arcade, pool room, ball room, and many nooks and corners for conversations, reading or games. The castle was immaculately clean and check-in and logistics were professionally managed.

This is a very spacious space for group get togethers. Our daughters wedding was perfect!! We had internet issues but solved them by the next day. I would recommend reading the guest handbook as it tells you how to control the lights through the house. We had an issue with the lights going on in the honeymoon suite on the main floor and they couldn’t figure out how to turn them off lol. But those were just few things we will remember. This is a lovely place and we would gladly rent it again!!

Can't say enough nice things about Graystone Castle! So much space, amenities, and privacy (both inside and outside) on this property. There's tons of little touches that make you feel welcome, and yet it feels complete enough inside with the various rooms and setups made to keep everyone entertained. The theater was a big hit with our group, as was the arcade room with the incredibly packed arcade cab full of almost any game you could think of.
Emily was also beyond pleasant to communicate with. She answered any question I threw at her, and was quick to respond whenever something came up. Couldn't have asked for a better host.
Our group was asking when we were coming back again, so we may need to book the castle again for next year!

Great way to spend wedding weekend!
The castle was amazing, the pictures do not do it justice.
Every room was top notch, the speciality rooms were so fun to be in, and the multiple sitting rooms provided a great way to spread out over the nights we were there.
Bring a big group and prepare to live like royalty!

The Greystone Castle was a perfect place to host a 60th and 70th birthday party with my siblings and spouses. Our family of eight, some spouses, and a few nieces and nephews in the area gathered for an adventure of fun at the castle. With plenty of bedrooms and baths, we all felt we had space and privacy, yet the castle offered great gathering areas to catch up and make new memories. This is one weekend that will definitely go down in the memory books.

COVID-safe wedding in a Castle!
What an amazing week! Due to the COVID pandemic, we needed to downsize our wedding to only friends and family and then find a location for it. After finding Graystone Castle on VRBO, we knew we found the place where we were getting married. Cue a 6 day trip with all our friends and family coming to stay (quarantining beforehand, of course!), everyone getting their own bedroom, cooking together, playing board games together, and finally, creating our wedding, and we literally could not have asked for more. The ballroom is perfect for dance parties, the movie room is perfect for watching movies together, the steam shower is perfect for having a relaxing afternoon spa experience, and dining room is perfect for having a wondrous inter-family meals. Staying at Graystone was an amazing experience, and all of our friends and family enjoyed themselves thoroughly.

Since we're not taking any traditional vacations during the pandemic we wanted to find a special place for a "staycation" and Greystone Castle couldn't have been more perfect! The Castle had everything we needed and so much space that was fun to explore. Although there is no wifi we were able to use our phones as "hotspots" when we needed it. The property manager, Emily, is super nice and accommodating. We had a very memorable stay and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Castle Getaway/ Elopement
We were able to have a beautiful elopement the castle is so large that there was plenty of space to social distance. We found ways to utilize each room which kept everyone engaged but also separate. The pictures don’t do this place justice! The master suite alone deserves 10 stars. Emily was a pleasure to work with. She was quick to respond when we had questions and concerns. We hope to return in the future.

UNBELIEVABLE
This castle venue experience is so surreal! 15 of my closest friends joined me to usher in my 50th birthday and it was the most perfect weekend ever. From a slumber party to bocce to Minute to Win It in the ballroom to karaoke to movies, arcade games and pool to campfires and Cards Against Humanity to Turkey dinner for Canadian Thanksgiving..... this was a weekend I’ll never forget.
Emily is an amazing host, sooo communicative and friendly, and accommodating. The castle was spotlessly clean. My incredible master suite was unbelievable, and the shower and steam room were amazing. The memory foam mattresses had everyone sleeping like logs - so comfortable!! We had the resident deer in the yard grazing every day, even while we played bocce a few feet away. A gray owl swooped down Sunday night under a full moon. And we even had a bobcat walk across the back of the lot on Sunday morning!!!!! Loved loved loved this place.

Graystone Castle
What an awesome experience! We attended a wedding on Camano Island and rented the castle as our “home away” for three days. There were six adults and seven kids in the castle and we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The kids had fun just exploring and deciding what rooms they wanted to stay in.
All of the arcade games were a big hit with the kids, and several adults too. Thursday night football was great on the big screen in the theatre.
And there was tons of room for the kids to run around in outside.
We loved the different eating areas and it was fun one morning to have a quieter adult table for breakfast and let the kids have their own table.
All of the beds were super comfy, the kitchen was well stocked and fun to work in and there were certainly enough bathrooms to accommodate everyone.
We loved staying there and only wished we had a few more days.

Fun week at the castle!
Overall, our stay at Graystone was great. The only issue was with the fire alarm system. One of the fire alarms in one of the rooms malfunctioned and caused the alarm system to go off. Emily worked with the alarm company to resolve it and we didn’t have any other problems. The only real complaint our guests had was that some of the closets in the bedrooms had no place to hang anything as there weren’t any closet rods installed.

The Graystone castle is amazing all around!!!
We had the most amazing time at the graystone castle/mansion! It is Arlington's "secret," gem, but it won't stay that way once more people discover this amazing place.
Prior to our stay we met with Emily for a tour, and she was so hospitable and helpful answering our questions, and she remained this way before, during and after our stay.
Upon arrival to the castle I literally was running around like a little kid, looking at every room, and trying not to get lost, (which I did many times!) Every bedroom was a suite with a bathroom so all of our guests had their own sanctuary. The master suite needs an entire review of it's own, because I could go on and on about how amazing it was. The shower, jacuzzi tub, sauna, and closet had me dreaming I never had to leave. Despite how amazing the rooms were we spent very little time in them because we were too busy cooking in the huge kitchen, dancing in the ballroom, watching movies in the theater, playing in the numerous game rooms or chatting in the comfy living rooms.
My friends and I (14 of us) were just blown away. We do yearly trips together and this place was hands down our best experience yet, and we all feel it will be very hard to top. We are already looking into re booking here for 2020.
