Fall Family Getaway
This was a great place to use as home base for our adventures in St. Louis. We were close to grocery stores to get our eat in food with plenty of options for dining out. Grandma’s cookies less than a block away was also a huge plus. We were able to stroll the shops of St Charles and take evening walks along the river.

Perfect family getaway!
Absolutely perfect home for our family getaway (2 adults, 2 kids, 12 and 8). The home is very well appointed and maintained. Fun layout with unique nooks for everyone to enjoy. The owners were very responsive and respectful. Check in and check out could not have been easier. Huge grocery store is a five minute drive. We had been looking for a home base to do tourist things in St. Louis (which it was perfect for, nearly everything we did in St. Louis was an easy 30 minute drive from this property), but had no idea how nice St. Charles is! The property is literally half a block from the cutest, quaintest downtown you might ever run across. Cobblestone streets, historic buildings, parks and open spaces, bike paths, and tons of boutique shops and one of a kind restaurants. There’s a 1700s chapel right across the street from the property! We ended up spending a lot of time in and around St. Charles. 10/10, highly recommend! I will be recommending this town and this property to friends and family.

Great House & Great Location
This house was perfect for our family to hang out and hit Main Street in St. Charles. The house itself has an updated kitchen and bathrooms and has enough space for a big family chill and watch movies or play video games. It is within walking distance of all the attractions on Main Street and if you are up to it, the Ameristar casino.

Had a wonderful weekend get away in St. Charlies. The house was so close to main street, but far enough away not to hear the noise. The house had everything and more! The water and snacks were a nice touch. Everything was very clean. Would stay here again.

The Guest House Company
Everything was as advertised. A couple of things would be an improvement. Hooks and closet space. The downstairs, below ground bedroom has a lot of stairs to go up and down to the bathroom. There is no hook or closet space at all for that bedroom and we were there for a wedding. We had to unload the baby equipment just to get a foot of space to hang up suits and long dresses. If you don't need closet space-this will be perfect for a family. The people are very nice and attentive to requests. We would recommend the location. Very walkable... to Grandma's Cookies!

Great location
This was a great location. The only suggestions I have are a bigger trash can in the kitchen and some slip resistant stair treads on the 2 small steps from the master room. It would make them not so slippery and easier to see. Two people in our group fell on these stairs. One because them slipped in their sock feet and the other because they missed the step in the dark.

We had a wonderful time. The place was super clean. the decorating was awesome! Everything you would need was there. The location is incredible! SOOOO close to restaurants and things to do. Literally a 1 minute walk. Also, close enough to St Louis! About 25 minutes. We kept reading how St Louis can be not as safe and St Charles was such a safe place to stay! If you are considering staying here book it now! You will be so happy you did!
