Quiet Neighborhood and Close to Downtown!

We came here for a small bachlorette and it turned out really well! We had plenty of space and it was close to things we wanted to do. It's a block off a main road so it was convenient parking and accessible, even with our mini party bus. Rachel was super friendly and quick to respond with any questions I had so we would definitely stay here again.

Close to everything in St. Charles, Great property

Property was terrific. I stayed with my husband and our almost 2 year old to visit family in St. Charles for 4 days. Cool older home, but updated with modern conveniences. Both bedrooms were upstairs and got a little toasty, but central AC a window box in one room made it very comfortable. It was a great stay and a great find for the price! Neighbors were friendly and it was located on a quiet street that was still very close to everything. A note is that the stairs are steep and the bathroom is downstairs (away from the two bedrooms), so for little ones or older folks, it may be something to be mindful of.

Great Location / Close to St Louis

We are a family of 5 with a small dog. We found this house and it was perfect! The location was great as we were able to walk to Historic Main Street or in the opposite direction to Raising Cane’s. We felt very safe in the neighborhood. We wanted to visit the arch and city museum and each destination was about 30 minutes away. Super easy drive to the city. Rachel was super easy to reach and responded very quickly! We had a tv mishap and she responded within moments of texting her & the issue was resolved quickly!Also, I was impressed with the hot water! I love my hot showers in the morning and with 5 people—there was still enough hot water to go around!The exposed brick walls and high ceilings just added to the charm of the house.

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.
