The location of this Property is so close to the historic town of St Charles and Katy Trail . Perfect . House has everything you need and attractive! Be aware there are steep stairs to the bedrooms. Upstair bedrooms warm no matter how cool rest of house is.(summer time visit)

Perfect location! We loved walking down to main street and along the river every day. So many cute shops and wonderful places to eat. Close to St. Louis as well which was awesome!

Absolutely perfect home for our family getaway (2 adults, 2 kids, 12 and 8). The home is very well appointed and maintained. Fun layout with unique nooks for everyone to enjoy. The owners were very responsive and respectful. Check in and check out could not have been easier. Huge grocery store is a five minute drive. We had been looking for a home base to do tourist things in St. Louis (which it was perfect for, nearly everything we did in St. Louis was an easy 30 minute drive from this property), but had no idea how nice St. Charles is! The property is literally half a block from the cutest, quaintest downtown you might ever run across. Cobblestone streets, historic buildings, parks and open spaces, bike paths, and tons of boutique shops and one of a kind restaurants. There’s a 1700s chapel right across the street from the property! We ended up spending a lot of time in and around St. Charles. 10/10, highly recommend! I will be recommending this town and this property to friends and family.
5.0
This house was perfect for our family to hang out and hit Main Street in St. Charles. The house itself has an updated kitchen and bathrooms and has enough space for a big family chill and watch movies or play video games. It is within walking distance of all the attractions on Main Street and if you are up to it, the Ameristar casino.

Had a wonderful weekend get away in St. Charlies.
The house was so close to main street, but far enough away not to hear the noise.
The house had everything and more!
The water and snacks were a nice touch.
Everything was very clean.
Would stay here again.

Had so much fun with the game room and proximity to St. Charles!

Everything was as advertised. A couple of things would be an improvement. Hooks and closet space. The downstairs, below ground bedroom has a lot of stairs to go up and down to the bathroom. There is no hook or closet space at all for that bedroom and we were there for a wedding. We had to unload the baby equipment just to get a foot of space to hang up suits and long dresses.
If you don't need closet space-this will be perfect for a family.
The people are very nice and attentive to requests. We would recommend the location. Very walkable... to Grandma's Cookies!
5.0
This was a great location. The only suggestions I have are a bigger trash can in the kitchen and some slip resistant stair treads on the 2 small steps from the master room. It would make them not so slippery and easier to see. Two people in our group fell on these stairs. One because them slipped in their sock feet and the other because they missed the step in the dark.

This home sits at the end of a quiet street with a walking path to the historic shopping area. We did not have extra time to truly visit the area but it looked cute. We found the home clean, quiet, and comfy.

We were there for a girl's trip. The location was great for walking Main street and was very quiet. The owners were very responsive! Would definitely recommend!

We had a great time eating, playing games, drinking at The Guest House this weekend! We did some shopping on Main Street and could just walk not drive! It was so convenient!
5.0
The home is right behind Main Street making it the perfect location for everything there. Easy walking access to shopping, food and events. The home was just as described and shown in pictures; beautiful! It was clean and loved that both bathrooms were always accessible without going into a bedroom. That’s perfect for a group! We would love to stay in the home again or one of the others available with the Cottage Group; you’ve got us hooked! Thank you for being easy and quick in any communication.
5.0
We had a wonderful time. The place was super clean. the decorating was awesome! Everything you would need was there. The location is incredible! SOOOO close to restaurants and things to do. Literally a 1 minute walk. Also, close enough to St Louis! About 25 minutes. We kept reading how St Louis can be not as safe and St Charles was such a safe place to stay! If you are considering staying here book it now! You will be so happy you did!

Everything was amazing! Worked perfect for our family!

This was within walking distance to everything downtown St Charles had to offer. There is a trolley on the weekends that will drive you to other attractions and gives info on the towns history. We stayed 4th July weekend and could see the fireworks perfect from the sitting area outside. The house was very clean and had all the accommodations we needed. We will definitely be back.
5.0
We loved how close it was to Main Street. Was a quick 30 minute drive to anything you want to do in St. Louis. The home was well stocked and one of the best properties we have currently stayed at.

My family and I stayed here this past week. The house was awesome! The kids had a blast with all the games and my wife was super happy with how close the house was to the Main Street. We had an awesome time here and hope to be able to return again.
5.0
The house was very clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Being located so close to the shops, restaurants, and historic sites made it very easy for us to make the most of our time in St. Charles. The game room was a big hit with our 11-year-old grandson. We would definitely recommend this rental and hope to be able to stay there again in the future.
5.0
The property was in a great location to downtown, we were able to enjoy the area each day just by a short walk. The St. Louis area was only about a 30min drive which was convenient as well. The house was very relaxing and provided a nice home for the week. We would definitely recommend this house to others for a wonderful experience in St. Charles, MO.

We had a wonderful time staying in this adorable home! Our youngest, age 12, loved playing with the wooden pinball game and then hopping over to the mini NES. Our graduate, age 18, as well as our parents ages 60-75 loved walking along the river, shopping in the historic district, and of course eating at the fantastic restaurants. The home was so comfy and the decor was beautiful. We highly recommend staying here and would love to return the next time we visit St. Louis.

We all enjoyed our stay here very much. Large space and the outdoor area is lovely and private! We had a fantastic time, and just a block off Main Street!

The Guest House is beautiful and well taken care of.Close to Main Street with shops ,restaurants and a park.Casino is right down the road.We appreciated the snacks and coffee k cups and the binder with info of the town and restaurants. Beds for at least 7 guests.Beds were comfortable.The bed in the nook in living room and king bed down stairs are too high .Would be great if there were steps that could be built to make it easier for people to get in these beds.The shower on the main floor is awesome!!

I have stayed at quite a few VRBO properties all over, but this was by far the easiest owner to communicate with, the cleanest/nicest house, and a great location. Would definitely stay again!
5.0
This was a FABULOUS place for our large family—Mom, Dad, and 6 kids ages 8-19. Our younger kids (and Dad) had a blast in the game room. We all appreciated the clever design and charm of this home. Our oldest daughter particularly enjoyed the cozy sleeping nook downstairs.
We have stayed at The Main Street Guest House (owned by the same hosts) before, and it was also top notch. Historic St. Charles is our favorite place to explore, but we also ventured into St. Louis to City Museum.
The kitchen is well stocked. There’s even a crock pot, plus a variety of snacks and k-cups. One thing to note: if you have very young kids, you might consider bringing a few plastic plates and cups from home. The dishes are lovely but breakable.

This place we stayed is right on Main St., Saint Charles. It is close to dining shopping and the owners did such a great job on this property. Would highly recommend anybody looking to stay close to Main St., Saint Charles to look at this place. It is very well worth it.

Our stay at the guest house was just wonderful. The house is adorable and perfect for families. All of our kids enjoyed the game room so much. We would love to go back and stay on our next trip to Main Street.
