Missouri Castle w/ Private Lake, Pool & 100 Acres!

Reviews

• Amazing castle in the country

  5/5

  This castle-themed guest house is fabulous. The house is huge, but it's the details and furnishings that fit the theme, as well as the uniqueness and interesting layout that make it stand out. The little "dungeon" room is the cutest thing ever, and the best castle feature is the tower to climb up to look out the windows. It is such a fun and interesting house with multiple gathering spaces and even a pool, and there are multiple outdoor gathering spaces with a lovely view of a lake. The house is so well-stocked with all the little things you might forget to bring that sets it apart as a short term rental. There are plenty of dishes, cookware, and even spices, plus things like fans and bug spray, and lots of towels and toiletries in the bathrooms. There are 2 very nice bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and a main hall bathroom for everyone else to share, and the large space with sleeping rooms upstairs, great for kids, has a small half-bath too. There is a large covered deck by the lake, with fans to make it comfortable on hot days, and boats and paddleboards provided to enjoy the lake. The animals on-site were fun to visit, and there was plenty of firewood for the firepit to spend time outside at night. The home owner responded to our questions and provided detailed directions to make it easy to find. Everyone in our group of 8 were so delighted with the castle and loved everything about our stay, and we would highly recommend to others.

  From the owner: "Thank you so much for the wonderful review. I am so glad you enjoyed your stay at the castle. We try to make it relaxing for everyone and keep adding to it all the time. We love to hear feedback on what our guests love and what they would like us to add so we can make it even more enjoyable. We are looking to add a volleyball area, and horseshoe pits and just added new sand to the beach. More to come!"

• Family gathering

  5/5

  Our group stayed here after a larger family reunion at Trout Lodge, YMCA. The place was great with something to do for everyone. Having a private, CLEAN pool for the family is amazing. We hiked around and boated around the lake, made s’mores by a campfire, played pool and darts and board games and grilled meals. This house lets you do it all and has the space to visit family and also have alone time. I’d love to come back.

• Awesome property!!

  5/5

  We just celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary and I wanted to share the occasion with our children and their families. I especially wanted to stay somewhere that offered a variety of things to do for various age groups.

  This property did NOT disappoint!

  Everyone had a GREAT time; from the indoor pool to the paddle boat, to the fishing and the trails around the property, you name it, we enjoyed it!

  The “great room” is like something out of a medieval fairy tale…everyone was drawn to this room time and again and the view looking out at the lake was phenomenal.

  The kitchen is well stocked with assorted spices, two refrigerators, numerous pots, pans, coffee pots, etc. The bedrooms are comfortable; everything is clean and inviting. Our grandchildren loved the upstairs “tree house” bedrooms.

  There are peacocks and quail to observe, with guineas and ducks freely roaming on the property. There are wineries within six to ten miles to visit, if desired. Honestly though, you have everything you need here…the view…the privacy…the serenity…

  We will be back and we definitely won’t wait fifty more years to do so!
