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!

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.

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.
