Lake/retreat shortpump Richmond Castlewood Estate

ZuleikaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Loved this home! It was very spacious if you have a large group. The location is perfect, private and accommodating. The host are very friendly just wish they were better responsive as in should be available 24/7 for guest. Other than that the place was great and would recommend if going to Richmond. It’s pretty close to the city but also private if you don’t want to deal with the city life, and crazy parking.

Lakeview

DianeRating, 5 stars2 days ago

The bed, bedding n towels were first class and as such things do, made the stay so much more enjoyable. also, extra thanks for the most comfortable bed AND reclining sofa n loveseat. It was perfect to relax on in the evening to watch a movie. This place was also super clean, from the chandeliers to the baseboard molding. but as important to us, it was so pleasant, peaceful and tranquil. We loved being able to use the kayaks, that were provided, on the beautiful lake. Kent was a superb host, being so patient with us regarding gaining access to the house. Thanks so much, Kent, for the best airbnb and vrbo stay we have ever had... and we have been using Vaca rentals since 2016!

Lakefront Resort

TeresaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

It is an incredible property, pictures and words don’t do it justice. The home, grounds and neighborhood are very well appointed with a wonderful layout. There are multiple outdoor gathering areas, we saw swans daily, the bird and frog songs were enchanting. We walked the neighborhood every day. The pool and landscaping were amazing. The master wing is exceptional. We were there for a family wedding and the “princess” dressing room was very well used. The master bath/ shower room has a steam feature that we enjoyed and the” sparkly” bath and shower were magical for our grandkids ( and the adults.). The art and collections were exotic and everyone, not just the grandchildren were enchanted. We entertained 10-25 guests comfortably each evening. As to previous reviews about cleanliness-it was fine, as per linens, everything was available, clean, folded. PS if you want the St. Regis this property has much more to offer than fluffy robes and slippers. We will be back!
