'Pop Castle' Historic Gem on the Rappahannock River

This is a must visit property. Listing is accurate, photos are good but not representative of the wonderful charm and comfort that this home affords its visitors. The home and grounds are meticulously maintained and the owner is engaging, honest helpful and genuinely interested in your experience. If you are considering this home for a week or weekend, you absolutely must choose it. The bedrooms are spacious, linens are high quality, kitchen wonderfully stocked with dishes appliances and utensils, dining room spacious and inviting, and family living room and den well furnished and truly comfortable. The ambiance and atmosphere can be anything you want it to be from a vibrant, bustling family and friend filled home to a genteel, inviting, quiet, comfortable and comforting getaway. If you're getting married, trying to reconnect or celebrating life, this is the right place. Do not be deceived by its location. In every direction there are charming towns just a short drive away with delectable dining opportunities. The spacious grounds afford any outdoor opportunity you wish. The home has a long river frontage and private dock, so if you want to be part of the river or admire it from an easy chair, it is your choice. I cannot say enough good things about our experience at Pop Castle. Don't just rely on vrbo. You can google this property and learn much about its history and charm. Oh, and I should have mentioned that the owner was very friendly toward our dog when we inquired about bringing him with us. That being said, there is absolutely no evidence of pet damage or accidents, so this owner must be selective in their consideration of pets. One more thing - wifi connection and television usage are reliable.When you are making your vacationing decision, one thing is certain.You will never be sorry you chose this place. Conversely, you certainly could be sorry you didn't. I know you will love the place as much as we did.

It was a beautiful drive entering through the property gates...so amazing - the property is a real gem. Our children had a wonderful time swimming off the beach. Everything is clean and well maintained. The pictures provide an accurate representation. We used the "River Market" in White Stone and their service and catered food was fantastic. We also enjoyed going by "The Farm" Boutique also located in White Stone and picking up some unique and beautiful items. The property owners were great to work with and immediately available if needed. We hope we can return again some day.

My husband and I got married at Pop Castle only 3 weeks ago, and we look back and can't believe how lucky we were to have the most beautiful place in the world to start our life together and enjoy our family and friends.

Every memory we have was enhanced by the amazing setting of Pop Castle. Memories of brunch on the dock, splashing in the water with friends and family, or looking out from one of the many windows onto the beautiful view just moments before I walked down the aisle. And then collapsing in exhaused happiness on the comfortable porch the morning after! We saw dolphins in the morning, and Bald Eagles flying over in the afternoons. Our guests to the wedding event told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to because there were so many things to do and places to explore, most of which were just provided by the property and its wonderful owners: cornhole in the yard, swinging on the tree swing underneath the most magnificant oaks, or watching the sunset from the beach area and enjoying s'mores over the fire pit.

Pop Castle was a magical place for us to get married, and for our friends and family to see why we love the Northern Neck. It catches the essence of the place so well, and creates a place where you can be active, or relax and enjoy your surroundings.

The owners of Pop Castle were so helpful and communicative throughout the whole process, answering all our questions quickly and kindly. THe house was extremely well-kept and maintained, yet always felt homey and comfortable. We felt like the minute we walked through the door, it felt like "home" just for us, for the weekend.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful home and its history with others so that everyone can gain the same appreciation and love for it that we have! We cannot wait to plan a stay again in the future!
