Legacy, Your Retreat
Built in 1929, Stoneleigh is a 20,000-square-foot English Tudor mansion set on 56 acres in Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountain foothills. Once the home of Virginia Governor Thomas B. Stanley, the estate is listed on the National Historic Registry.

"Our stay at Stoneleigh Estate was nothing short of a fairytale. The property is breathtaking, inside and out, and the price for our entire wedding party to stay for 4 nights was less than many venues charge for 8 hours. Julie is worth her weight in gold."
