Nice house close to Main Street

We have stayed here a few times. It is a good choice in St. Charles. Main Street is a short walk away. The bedrooms are comfortable. The kitchen is well-equipped, and we were able to cook easily for a group. We’ll gladly book the house again.

Graduation Weekend

We stayed the weekend for our daughters graduation from Lindenwood. The place is really cute with a great location that's close to Main St. and the University. Enjoyed the backyard for the dogs and outdoor games with the family. Kim is a wonderful host who was always available to answer questions or offer help; definitely a pleasure to work with. Would love to stay here again when back in St Charles.

Lovely home in great location

We stayed a couple of nights here for a girls trip, and it was the perfect size and location. It has two bathrooms, both with showers, and both bedrooms have tvs, which was nice. Very clean and nicely decorated, and the check in process was simple. It was an easy walk to the main strip, we didn’t use our cars at all. Would definitely stay here again!

Cozy Location for St Louis Spring Break

This house felt like home away from home. The beds were comfortable and the house was very clean. There are many nice touches throughout the house that show the owner takes great pride and joy in this house. The neighborhood was quiet, and we could easily walk to the historic Main Street. Kim was easy to communicate with and was receptive and accomodating.
