Enjoyable Experience for All
I recently stayed with Luxesleeps with a group of family and friends (6 in total) during the winter holiday season. Everything was as listed within the description. David and Karen ensure you are informed of every detail prior to your stay. Everything was as described. The hosts are very communicative and responsive. I have visited St. Charles several times in the past. It is a quaint town in Illinois boasting a number of delicious restaurants and charming boutiques. It is a lovely town with views of the Fox River and picturesque streets. I only gave a rating of 4 out of 5 for the location and neighborhood due to the service and treatment of my party at some of the restaurants visited during our stay. This is not a reflection of the hosts who were nothing but respectful and kind. I would just recommend researching the area and be very selective with the restaurants you choose to visit during you stay.

Everything was perfect
I stayed here for my wedding weekend with several other couples and it was perfect. Karen and Dave were very accommodating and made sure we had the best weekend. The rooms were very clean and it was also the perfect location. You are a few minute walk from downtown St.Charles and all of the restaurants and bars. I would definitely stay here again.

Girls Weekend
We had a wonderful stay at the Fox Den! All of our questions were answered within a few minutes. The property was very clean and modern. We loved relaxing on the front deck with a river view. The location is so convenient with bars, restaurants, and shops within walking distance. We used the bikes in the garage to bike the Fox River Trail. We highly recommend this property and can’t wait to visit again!
