My brother and I signed up for pickleball tournament at the Missouri Pickleball Club and stayed in this place with my two nieces who cheered us on. I have been accused of being a snob when it comes to comfort of beds and this place was excellent. My brother took bedroom upstairs with firmer mattress and I took the softer mattress in the downstairs bedroom. The girls had the 2 twins in the third bedroom. Everyone said the beds were very comfortable. We had great time as a family in the house. We cooked breakfast and dinner in the kitchen, made popcorn while watching movies on the smart TV, and talking in the comfy couches in the living room. The owner was very responsive. ##### Susan K.

Do note that there are still no kitchen towels/washcloths - bring your own. We had small children with us and felt that the staircase was very steep, so use caution when selecting this property. The twin beds are upstairs, which is where children would most likely be sleeping. There are minimal utensils. We had five people, and there were five forks. But we loved waking up and seeing a grouping of deer outside the windows. ##### Jennifer R. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Danielle K. Jun 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Comfortable and secluded This was a great place for our family to stay while exploring Six Flags and St. Louis. It took longer to get to Six Flags than I expected (30 minutes) because it was definitely off the beaten path. But the area was safe and quiet. We even spotted several deer! The home was clean, beds were comfortable, and the showers worked great. I was disappointed that there was no ice nor any way to make ice. A couple of ice cube trays in the freezer would be super helpful. The bedrooms had blinds on the windows but it was super bright as soon as the sun came up. Some room-darkening curtains would be such a nice upgrade. I spotted an iron but no hair dryer so bring your own. Thank you for hosting us! ##### Danielle K. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kate M. May 8, 2024 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Communication #### Unfortunate timing The property itself was fine overall. Three bedrooms, comfortable beds. My family stayed just one night while we were moving cross-country, so we didn’t arrive until after 11pm. A storm had knocked out the power in the house, which does not take away from the property itself, but we were dissatisfied with how the owner handled the situation. We respectfully asked for a partial refund, as we were not warned of the power issue and did not get to utilize the property as advertised, and his response was uninterested in finding a suitable resolution, he tried to shift responsibility to the electric company, and then he simply stopped responding. I would not recommend staying here. ##### Kate M. Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alicia B. Jan 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Snow day hideaway We rented Top of Castlewood to enable us to attend my uncle's funeral in St. Louis at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery. We planned to spend a few days visiting local attractions and gathering with our family. Despite our best plans, we had the good fortune of being snowed in at the house for a couple of days. The set up is nice, one bedroom with a queen bed, a bath, the kitchen and living area on the main level, two bedrooms, one queen and one with twin beds, and a bath upstairs. Both bathrooms, though a bit small, feature large showers. There is laundry in the basement area of the home as well, which worked out for us after our teens went out to play in the fresh snowfall. Though our intent was not to be housebound, of course, the home was warm, clean, cozy and inviting. We did have the forethought to get some groceries prior to the snowfall, so we were able to cook and eat there. The kitchen has a fair amount of dishes and cookware, however, the cutlery is not plentiful. In fact, there were only three forks for all six of us. We made the best of it, but if you plan to eat in, buy some disposable forks!! I can wholeheartedly recommend Top of Castlewood as a lovely place to stay in a very quiet, private, off the beaten path area. It worked for our group of six for four days without feeling like we were on top of each other. It feels both seclude and close to everything. ##### Alicia B.
