Absolute Perfection
Everything about this house was exactly what we wanted and had extras that we didn’t know we needed! First, let me say that it was a cute and clean house in an incredibly nice, quiet neighborhood. We loved being able to go to the store without leaving small neighborhood streets. My favorite part was the precious wild bunnies that apparently have a home in the backyard. The house was much bigger than my small family of three needed. Although, with only one bathroom I can’t imagine having a full house. We spent several afternoons and evenings in the backyard. The yard was well kept and was cut while we were out one day, which was perfect! My son enjoyed several of the games available in the garage and we had quite the family cornhole competition one evening. The game room was the main reason we rented and did not disappoint! My son fell in love with darts. Unfortunately, my husband and I completely lost track of time playing pool one night and finally called it quits around 3am. There are so many little things that are fabulous about this house like: chargers available in different rooms, Bluetooth speakers in game room, extra hygiene items in case you forgot something, spare blankets, ziplock bags, and information in a binder about the area. My husband was incredibly happy about the easy access to interstate and a general 30 minute drive to anything/everything we wanted to do while here for vacation. We would, without a doubt, stay here again and highly recommend the property!

Great experience. Everything listed was available. Host was very responsive and accommodated a later check out time for us. The kids loved the game room and having their own room to share with a wide selection of movies. We all loved the variety of board games provided as well. Great, quite neighborhood. No issues with noise, traffic, or anything else. 10/10 would stay again

Don't hesitate to book!
Wow, what a gem. The house was immaculate and well-equipped. It also had a ton of "extra" touches such as makeup-removing wipes, provided detergent, well-stocked cabinets, and a ton of baby/kid-friendly items (baby gate, pack n-play, potty chair, monitor, and baby bath... to name a few). The location was very close to historic downtown St. Charles. It's not quite walkable, but just a couple-minute drive. It was a quiet neighborhood and communication with the owner was phenomenal. I can't recommend this place enough! My high school besties and I meet in St. Charles once or twice a year, and I think we've found our go-to home base!!

This home is perfect. Notice I said home and not house. It has everything you need and located near Lindenwood and a short drive to historic Main St. Christy is fabulous to work with and if you are lucky you may meet the neighbor across the street. ;) 6 stars

My daughter and friends, three little dancers and a 4 year old stayed with me for the girls dance competition. The one mile commute was a plus With all the amenities that was included it made our stay very pleasant and less stressful By the way our girls did very well in the competition with a bundle of trophies Thank you for your hospitality

Great cozy house in old town St. Charles
Overall this was a really nice property to stay at. The host had really nice touches all around the house. The backyard was nice and there was wood stocked for the firepit. It's not a negative on the house, but just a caution for young families, the stairs going to the upstairs are a little narrow, which makes it slightly difficult for younger children. The host did a good job putting a no-slip coating on the stairs, but if you have very young children it might pose a slight issue. The basement game room was nice and the kids really enjoyed the pool table.

We loved this house. Very homey and had just about everything you would need for the stay. We had 2 grandkids with us and they just loved the basement. Every evening they would go down there and play pool and ping pong. It was nice to have a grocery store right around the corner. It was a short drive to the Arch, and Busch Stadium. The host was very quick to answer if I had questions.

We have four kids of varying ages and we loved how this home had space for us to be in different places, or all hang out together. Kids liked the basement games, great selection of movies and board games. We also really liked the location. Close to downtown St Charles, which is cute and great restaurants, but also just 25-30 mins from downtown St. Louis. Neighborhood was quiet.
