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.
