This is a beautiful home in a quiet neighborhood. We loved the 3 porches! Comfortable bed, big rooms, nice kitchen. Thanks for the game drawer, we enjoyed the cards. Would definitely stay here again!
Our stay here was great! So many activities to do, you never get bored. It’s big and beautiful and communicating with the property manager was very easy! Would stay again!

A company favorite!
My company has held it's offsite retreat at the Hilltop Castle 2 years in a row. Everyone loves it and wishes we stayed longer.
The onsite catering is very good and accommodating to food allergies and preferences. The activities folks took our team building to another level! Matt and Karen are always so helpful and responsive to questions before or during our events. We've been to many places and our team loves the Castle and its adjacent properties the best....even if some have to share a bathroom.

Perfect way to spend weekend
Everything was perfect. So
Much to do. Our favorite was the heated pool , scavenger hunt, comfortable beds, the huge gym was a hit, the huge kitchen had everything we needed. We all can’t wait to come again.
This is a magical property. Not only are the accommodations beautiful, but there is so much to do! The space is large enough that our group of 30 never felt crowded.
