Great getaway for the family!

We recently stayed here for a 3 night getaway & everyone in the family loved it. Check in was very simple & the property managers were fast to respond to any questions we asked. The beds were comfy & the kitchen was perfect for our time there. The location could not be beat. We walked to bakeries in the mornings & dinners at night, not to mention the proximity to all the shops! Would definitely stay here & recommend to others!

Title says it all. We were traveling to St. Charles to visit family and experience the Historic District of St. Charles during the holiday season. This property is right on South Main Street and we were able to walk everywhere. The place itself is a nice mix of historic feel, with some original wood flooring and staircase, mixed with an updated kitchen and furnishings.FYI, it is in the upper level of the building, so there are some stairs for initial access, and additional stairs to one of the bedrooms. There is a restaurant on the 1st level of the building, which sent some wonderful aromas up into the rental. We ate there once and it was excellent.We will definitely stay again if make another trip to the St. Charles area.

Nice stay, great location

Overall property location was great. A few items need to be addressed to improve overall experience. 1. Washing machine is leaking 2. Overall fixtures are loose and towel racks need to be tightened ( we had to carefully hang towels) . 3. The top step into property is dangerous due to lack of support/ wood rot and several times our children almost fell due to instability of step. 4. Ground floor bedroom sheets were dirty and stained upon arrival.

Cute lil place

my family stayed the weekend of halloween for a soccer tournament. The apt itself was adorable and great for our family. However there had been a lack of deep cleaning, fair amt of dust on blinds, bathroom fan, etc. food and beer left in fridge from previous stay. Not moped in a while I would say. linens and towels were clean. Loved the plants and all the white. I did notify the owner and he offered the cleaning service to come back, but since we we there and didn't want to have to work around that especially with our pup along we declined. It's on beautiful historic mainstreet, a very charming and sweet place. noisier at night than I would like, but I didn't think about it being halloween when I booked either. There is an excellent restaurant just a few mins walk away, Salt and Smoke was amazing! We enjoyed walking mainstreet at night and checking out the stores. Many do close at 5pm though FYI. We would look at staying here again in the future!

Location is perfect. Clean and exactly what we were looking for in a weekend get away. The common areas (living room and kitchen) are on the smaller side if you are wanting a place to gather but we were out and about most of the time so it was perfect for us.

Location!

The place was in an excellent location. Morning jog/walks along the Katy Trail, coffee stop at the Bike Cafe basically out the front door! Only thing to note is the only bathroom is off the living room, so maybe something for the modest but for our group it was a source of comedy. Beds were comfy, and place was clean. Would stay again! Host was super helpful as well!

Friend weekend

The home was lovely. The neighbors in the unit next door with the dog they left all day for 2 days, not so great. Thank you for responding quickly to texts and providing us a great place and location to stay. We still have a great time despite the dog issue.
