About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Historic headquarters of city founder! Gated parking!

Historic brick cottage has its own granite monument on Main Street. Private gated parking, huge fenced front yard. A history buff’s dream! So many restaurants and shops, Frontier Park, parades, festivals and fun!

Very comfortable sleeping - queen bed in the bedroom and gel foam mattress on the sofa bed in the living room.

Parking is at a premium on Main Street, but you leave the car and walk everywhere, knowing your car is inside the gated area waiting for your return. There is room for four cars, or even an RV!

Check out the City’s website for all of the activities going on in the area. The holidays are especially fun with special events like ice carving contests, costumed characters, singing on the street corners, and Santa parades. Festival of the Little Hills, OktoberFest, and Fourth of July fireworks on the river are just a few of the things unique to the Historic District.

Some favorite restaurants on Main Street are Old Millstream, Magpie’s, Salt and Smoke, Llewelyn’s, and Novellus - and there are many, many more!

The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Wonderful stay! The property was as pictured, very clean and cozy with a nice backyard and firepit that opened directly on to Main Street. Lots of cute coffee shops, restaurants and local stores within yards of the front gate. It was like walking out of the back door and into a scene from a Hallmark movie. Will definitely stay here again!

The place was cozy and beautiful! The location was perfect. There were shops and restaurants practically outside our front door, so we didn’t need to drive anywhere. Also, you parked your car in the back of the house which had an electric gate to get in and out.The host was very friendly. She told us the history of the home and info St. Charles. We will definitely stay there again!
