'Pop Castle' Historic Gem on the Rappahannock River

Great place for our family fot the 80th birthday celebration

This property was perfect for a family gathering. We had several catered meals by the Car Wash Cafe. A memorial celebration of Life at St Marys White Chapel. The elders stayed at Pop Castle and others stayed near by at a Best Western. The house had plenty of room to relax and everyone had a wonderful time. Beds are comfortable and the house decor is very interesting. The location is a bit over an hour from Richmond Va airport. Thank you for a perfect weekend.

We had another amazing visit to Pop Castle! Truly a wonderful place to be. Always exceeds the anticipation of being there. Can’t wait to get back!

Everyone enjoyed themselves. House is spectacular. View is too. Kids loved the paddle boards and kayak. Every bedroom is comfortable.

Where do I begin?...This spot is where my daughter & her fiancé wanted to marry. The Rappahannock carries special meaning for them...it's where they began their love story, and where they were engaged. Pop Castle is a warm, beautiful place for an event...only surpassed by the warmth and kindness of it's owners. The home is historic, well-maintained, and so comfortable! No detailsforgotten. Amazing kitchen! Bathrooms immaculate and the most comfy beds! This is truly a place for relaxation and sharing joy with friends & family! It has every amenity for a large gathering...beautiful views and grounds, places to spread out and come together! As Mother of the Bride, I was not as relaxed as I would have liked! But...all the more reason to return with the folks we treasure for another Rivah Respite! Many Thanks to Walid & Ginny for opening up your extraordinary home for this unforgettable event for our family. Cheers!!

Pop Castle is pure heaven. The house, the furnishings, the grounds and the views are all perfection. The perfect place for family to gather. We hope to return one day!

Pop castle was the perfect venue for a dream wedding. The location was amazing with views of the river and gorgeous sunsets for the rehearsal dinner and wedding. Tons of space outside for dinner, dancing and a band. It was great to have the wedding party stay the weekend. We could not have asked for better hosts or location. Thank you!

It was a perfect location for a wonderful celebration!

Another wonderful week at Pop Castle! Can’t wait to be back!

I was surprised to hear all my family thought it was one our best vacations and were all delighted to hear that I booked it for next year. All were very active throughout the week, and all seemed to enjoy the activities and each other's company. Our only complaint was that the ice maker was not very productive, and the kitchen door was difficult to lock and unlock. I tried to tighten the lock but did not have the proper tools with me. We are already looking forward to our stay at Pop Castle next year, and me at 82, I hope I can make it and enjoy my family as I did this year. Thanks, Don Ford

We stayed at POP CASTLE for our daughter's wedding. The landscaping was BEAUTIFUL and the house was IMMACULATE! With 6 bedrooms and 7 baths, our family of 12 was very comfortable! The kitchen was 5 star and my husband could not wait to cook dinner there! We relaxed on the back porch with outstanding river views, spent time on the dock, took sunset photos, and shared so many wonderful memories together! I definitely recommend this magical place to anyone looking for a private sanctuary to spend time with family and friends.

This house and grounds are incredible. I am in awe of the amount of time, energy and caring that the owners have put into it. Every detail enhances it. All of my family, kids, grandkids and great grandkids, loved it. The house is beautiful and well planned for large groups, plus so many options for things to do or play. We are already planning a return trip.
