House is as described. Super comfortable and wonderful location!! Kitchen essentials and appliances were amazing to have. The beds, reading nook and couches were comfortable for hanging out and reading in long stretches. Great communication with the host when questions needed answers. My friends and I definitely want to come back to this exact house again. Location is perfect to walk on Main Street.

Wonderful place to stay!

I have stayed at quite a few VRBO properties all over, but this was by far the easiest owner to communicate with, the cleanest/nicest house, and a great location. Would definitely stay again!

Cute house with character

The location couldn’t get any better. Steps from the Main Street of old town St Charles where all the shops and restaurants are. Quiet neighborhood with a walking trail on the water. House is adorable. Lots of places to sleep. The downstairs bed was very comfy. Even the pillows were great! Shuffleboard is a bonus for the kids. Had everything we needed and exceeded our expectations.

Great location

House was wonderful. Location was fantastic. Beds were very comfortable. Only issue I had were the stairs were kind of steep going to 2nd floor bedrooms but that's more about my age and knees. House had everything you needed and the game room was fun. Wish we had more time to actually stay at the house and enjoy it. Would definitely rent again.

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.
