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!

Fantastic stay, will return!

Property is as described, and better. We had a wonderful, short stay and found the Headquarters to be a perfect jumping off point for exploring and enjoying Saint Charles. Host was very accommodating and quick to respond to questions. Clean, comfortable, well stocked kitchen, and unbeatable location. Charming property- there was even a whitetail bunny hopping around the front yard when I stepped out with my coffee in the morning! Will absolutely look to book this property for future visits. 10/10 highly recommended!

Wonderful in all respects

This historic house has been lovingly restored with period artifacts and furnishings, and fully appointed with up-to-date appliances and facilities. Lynn is one of the most gracious and efficient hosts we've ever encountered, from greeting us in person on arrival to getting the cable company to promptly resolve a problem with its equipment. The location is ideal in the historic district. Especially if you visit during festivals or other busy times you will be grateful for the gated on-site parking!

Wonderful Holiday Kick-Off

We were delighted with our stay here from the start. I booked this as a warmer, more intimate alternative to our usual holiday hotel accommodations and was instantly glad I did. The house was comfortable and quiet despite being in a vibrant, walkable neighborhood. The house was tastefully decorated (tree and all) for the season which added to our overall enjoyment of our stay. We were able to walk for coffee and meals and still had easy vehicular access when needed. Walking the silent, fully decorated Jacksonian era streets after dark was unforgettable. Lynn was wonderful to work with - attentive, accommodating, and efficient. This was my first VRBO experience and it set a great tone - we'll definitely be back!

This is such a cool little place! Absolutely best location for shopping Main St. Lynn’s place is very clean and well decorated. Although it’s right on Main St it is a very quiet location. Parking is so convenient with its own private parking in back of the property. We will absolutely be staying here again.

Great property and great location

We stayed for few days to visit friends and this was just what we wanted, convenient to main Street and close to restaurants and entertainment. I love to find period correct homes and this one has it all. Easy check in and departure. If you want to enjoy all the main Street offers, this is your place.

Great place, great location

This property and host are wonderful! It's a beautiful, historic cottage in a charming part of old St. Charles, steps from Frontier Park and with nice walks on boutique- and restaurant-lined Main Street or along the greenbelt beside the Missouri River. The cottage is pretty and comfortable, with many thoughtful details in its furnishings. And the host Lynn couldn't be nicer -- she even loaned us an umbrella when we checked in on a rainy day! Highly recommend.

Historic Home, Modern Comfort

Headquarters House is just the perfect spot for exploring Saint Charles and the surrounding area. At the top end of Main Street, the home is removed from most of the noise and traffic, yet within easy walking distance to all the shops, cafes and interesting sites. The house is ideal for a couple’s retreat, and it has everything you need for comfort. Lynn was there to greet us and show us around, and she was quick to respond to questions during our stay. She also gave us good restaurant tips and mentioned some sites we should check out while in town. Overall, Saint Charles was all we hoped for and our stay at Headquarters House made it even better. We highly recommend!
