Castle on the Hill | House in Penn Laird

“Castle on the Hill” was built in 2005 on five acres of gifted family land. There is a long history of family and still has strong sentimental value. This home is still lived in on a part-time basis. However, you will have the home and property to yourself once a booking is confirmed. This is not a Frat House nor to be used as one. We want our guests to enjoy the home and amenities with as much respect for the peaceful, serene setting as we have for many years.

The house is centrally located to many venues of interest which should make this an ideal site for your stay. It is a 15-minute drive to JMU Bridgeforth Stadium, 10-minute drive to Brix and Columns Vineyards, 11-minute drive to Massanutten Water Park and Skiing, 16-minute drive to Magpie Diner and 15-minute drive to Downtown Harrisonburg’s, Jack Brown’s Beer and Burger Joint.

You will be in a wooded environment with beautiful natural landscape of trees and underbrush. You will be sharing that space…. with nature. You may see bugs, birds, squirrels, fox, deer and an occasional bear. Enjoy watching the wildlife and be aware of your surroundings. Many of our house rules are in place to keep these animals from encroaching on your space. Some of these include proper disposal of trash, do not leave trash bags outside, do not leave food items outside, do not try to feed the wildlife and do not allow small children to wander through the woods unsupervised.

Due to the wooded environment, smoking on the property is prohibited.
