Perfect stay!
I chose this property for the location, but would go back for the comfort and coziness of the home. The house included everything you could need in the kitchen and bathroom and made the trip very easy. It was very clean and very well organized. The offstreet parking was a plus. Highly recommend, Especially if you want something close to the Lindenwood campus and the downtown area.

Older property in walking distance of shopping, restaurants, and the Katy trail and small parks. Plenty of towels, comfy bed, and good lighting. Parking in back a plus. Friendly neighbors. Dogs welcome, bring all dog supplies. New door mats will be a plus.

Fantastic St.Charles location
A charming spot, all the great amenities (located right behind the former Miss Aimee B's if you're familiar with St. Charles history). I will happily book again! The host is very communicative and helpful. Bathroom is on first floor, bedrooms on the second, fyi.

Great place for our family to stay while visiting over Christmas
This place was great. They put up a tree for us since we were going to be there over Christmas. There were 5 of us, 2 in each bedroom and 1 on the couch. The couch has a piece that pulls out from underneath it to make a full size bed. They have linens for that bed in the laundry room. The two upstairs beds were comfortable and the pillows were good. The living room had two couches and 2 chairs so there was plenty of places to sit. The dining room was larger than it appeared in the pictures so that was nice. The kitchen had what we needed. We were not there for many meals. The bathroom was good. It has a washer and dryer and detergent. So we were able to do a load of laundry. The shower has body wash, shampoo and conditioner. That was really nice, not to have to bring our own. There isn't room on the sink to place things put there is the top of the dryer so a lot of our personal items went there and it was close to the sink so that was fine. It is almost exactly a half mile to walk down Jackson street to Main street St.Charles. The young adults walked and us older adults were able to just park around 3rd street and walk the last bit. It is uphill the walk back so keep that in mind when you decide which to do!! There are a lot of shops, restaurants and bars on the main street. We only made it once since we were there to visit relatives. But it is entirely worth checking out. I would highly recommend this VRBO and would stay here again!

We came to stay the week and watch our son play football. Perfect space for us and his pup that came along to visit. Close to Lindenwood and Old Main street for our daily walks. Kitchen had had all our needs. The leaves were beautiful when we were there. Location was perfect. We will be booking again each year!

Wonderful Stay, Great Home
This charming home was the perfect place for us. It was close enough to history downtown but far enough away to escape busy tourists that frequent Main Street. It was an easy 10-12 minute walk to Main Street, but also with reasonable walking distance to the local grocery store. Rachel was quick to respond to texts and all my questions we had prior to the visit and as we settled in. I highly recommend this VRBO. I will book again the next time I come home.🙂

Cute and Cozy!
We have stayed in St. Charles several times and this is by far one my favorites! Rachel’s place is impeccably clean, lots of space and decorated to make you feel at home. The house has historic charm with the brick walls and high ceilings. The bathroom is spacious and was super clean! The kitchen has everything you need and we loved the back yard space. This cute house was in walking distance to The Crooked Tree cafe as well as Main Street. Would definitely love to stay here again for our next visit. Highly recommended!

My husband and I found the home to be VERY clean, comfortable and inviting. The home was remodeled in a beautiful way, yet still reflected the time period from which it originated. We appreciated being in an area where my husband grew up! And...it was wonderful to be able to walk to so many places. We look forward to another trip to St. Charles and staying in the home again. Thank you so very much!
