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.

Perfectly placed, and the home itself was freaking adorable. Could easily visit downtown, even a simple trek into KC. And the historic aspects? My sister and I loved it!! The owner spent time with us, sharing details which made it that much better!

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!

Stayed here for a fall getaway and to visit family. The fall weather was beautiful and trees were beginning to turn colors. The historic area had a few events happening called Pumpkin Glow and Legends and Lanterns festival. Both gave the fall getaway just the right Halloween atmosphere and our lodging was right spot where everything was in walking distance! The gated parking in the rear of the house made it easy to come and go without the worry of finding parking upon return. Nicely located and cozy, clean accommodations!

We have walked by this little house for 40 years, and even had been inside the house when it was a shop. We were thrilled to see that the house was available as a VRBO! What a privilege to stay in this beautiful and historic home. The house was immaculately clean and comfortable. The antique furnishings and decor added to the ambiance. Lynn was a wonderful hostess. She greeted us and showed us the historic details of the home. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and will definitely be back. Thank you, Lynn!

Charming Historic Home

We loved our recent stay in Lynn's charming historic home. The location was very convenient to restaurants, bars and shops and also easy access to Interstate 70 and 370. Lynn is a very responsive host and her home was nicely appointed with interesting antiques and everything we needed for a great stay. We especially enjoyed the gated secure parking. Next time we need a St. Charles home we hope Lynn's home is available.
