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.

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.

Weekend Get Away

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.

Perfect Location!

The home is right behind Main Street making it the perfect location for everything there. Easy walking access to shopping, food and events. The home was just as described and shown in pictures; beautiful! It was clean and loved that both bathrooms were always accessible without going into a bedroom. That’s perfect for a group! We would love to stay in the home again or one of the others available with the Cottage Group; you’ve got us hooked! Thank you for being easy and quick in any communication.

Beautifully decorated, clean and wonderful location!

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!

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.

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!
