Everything was good as expected, except the kitchen utensils! The hosts were very accommodating, and easy to get in touch with. We however were very disappointed in the kitchen utensils! Not on par with the overall home and property. Lacking even the basics, like measuring cups, measuring spoons, proper bakeware. What was available was pretty nasty, and seriously needs replaced! Thus being our only complaints.

We had a great stay at "The Castle". Nice place, lots of space and rooms. The elevator was especially helpful for my 89 year old father in law. Great game room. Spacious kitchen and dining so works well for big group. Lots of time spent at the dock utilizing the kayaks and paddle board. The deck with it's view of the lake was a great gathering place at the end of the day.

The Castle is a great house loaded with solid amenities. There is plenty of space for everyone. The dock equipped with 3 kayaks and a stand up paddle board is loads of fun. The location makes it easy and safe for kids to swim and enjoy the lake. Docking the rental pontoon boat is easy too. The hosts are exceptional and respond immediately to any questions. This is highly recommended, and we would stay there again. Thanks for a fun, memorable and Epic Lake Week!

We thoroughly enjoyed staying here on Smith Mountain Lake! Our family included toddlers all the way up to the elderly and there was something for everyone's interests. The kitchen is well equipped for large groups and meals, there is plenty of space for families to spread out, and lots of games/toys to keep everyone entertained. The hosts were very responsive and helpful with anything we needed before, during and after our stay. Thank you so much! We hope to return.

Overall we had a wonderful stay at the Castle. The views were amazing! With 5 days of rain, we really appreciated the extra space to spread out, watching movies in the theater room, working on puzzles, playing games and billiards. We also loved the big tub in the evening. We enjoyed the bikes but there were only 2 adult bikes so we had to take turns. We also loved having the kayaks and SUP as well. One recommendation is to remove some of the deck furniture so there’s more room to sit and relax without feeling cramped. The kitchen was very nice but we missed having measuring cups for baking and there wasn’t a lot of room in the cabinets to store food. Overall we had a wonderful time and the home was beautiful.
