A lovely retreat

We really enjoyed our stay here! There were even toys and books in the upstairs closet for our toddler to play with! The upstairs bathroom you two is a bit cramped to sit on, but otherwise a very nice place.

Comfy house, private, near attractions

Stayed for a visit with grandkids. Comfortable family space, good size dining table, great for meals and game nights. Location was tucked away in a wooded area, but very easy to access highways and main roads to get to local attractions. Made for the perfect stay.

Great house in Ballwin!

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.

2024 Eclipse

We booked this property as a base for a trip to south eastern Missouri to see the 2024 solar eclipse. It worked great for the 5 of us + dog. Property exceeded all expectations! Plenty of room, clean, well appointed with all the cooking and supplies we would need. Proximity to Castlewood state park was a plus. Communications with the owner were great.

Castle wood

We had to contact the host once we reached the property to get check in instructions. Once inside we found that two of the chairs at the table were unstable and unusable. One of the lamps in the living room did not have a light bulb which made the area dark. We also noticed a couple of windows wouldn’t lock, which was c a little concerning
