The kitchen is equipped for a weekend getaway. No stove, but microwave. Utensils etc are fine.Beds are comfortable. Decor is great.All the books around were good. I wish I had had more time to spend with some of the books.Only issues for us were all the steps. It is steep on 3 floors. Great for anyone in great shape. Bit of a challenge for our ages. But we made it work. The surrounding buildings felt a little sketchy. Great location for Main Street St. Charles. We could easily walk to get to Main Street.

Perfect house for a weekend in St. Charles

Some friends and I stayed here for a weekend getaway. This house was perfect. It was within walking distance of many shops, restaurants, and bars. The house was spacious enough for all 6 of us to feel comfortable and not feel like we were on top of each other. The hot tub was also a great addition!

Amarillo, Texas is now on the Guest House map! :)

Our family had a great time in this historic neighborhood. We thought not having a stove/oven might be problematic but it wasn't at all - there were so many places nearby to explore we didn't miss cooking for ourselves. There are steep steps - the rooms are on three floors - but our 3 and 5 year old were able to handle them just fine. Everything was clean and ready for us when we arrived. The location is great to get on the highway for downtown but be sure to save time to explore historic St Charles and Main Street. (check the times for things - lots are closed Mon/Tues) We enjoyed staying at The Guest House, had quick replies to any correspondence from our hosts and will definitely look in to this, and their additional properties, for future visits to St. Louis.

We had a wonderful weekend in this historic home! We were greeted by a beautiful Christmas tree in the window!! When we walked in the home it was decorated ready for Christmas. The location is right in the historic district and is perfect to walk to shops and restaurants! I truly wish we could have spent more time in this special home! We would love to come back again!

Great place near Main Street

The Guest House is an amazing place to stay. Its location is central to the shops and restaurants on Main St. You can walk to everything! The house itself was very clean and provided us everything we needed for our stay. The hosts were very responsive to an issue that honestly was our own fault. T they were great to work with. We have stayed here before and the back patio is a great addition. We will definitely stay here again.
