Girls weekend

We had a great stay. Christy, the host, has thought of everything. Plenty of coffee supplies, and even shampoo and body wash in the shower. Plenty of towels and kitchen supplies. I talked to the girls afterwards and they said the ONLY thing they would recommend is a TV in the basement. The basement has a great game room setup. We enjoyed ourselves. The house is very close to Schnucks and a short drive to Main Street for shopping, etc. We would stay again and I have already recommended the house to a friend for another girls trip.

Absolute Perfection

Everything about this house was exactly what we wanted and had extras that we didn’t know we needed! First, let me say that it was a cute and clean house in an incredibly nice, quiet neighborhood. We loved being able to go to the store without leaving small neighborhood streets. My favorite part was the precious wild bunnies that apparently have a home in the backyard. The house was much bigger than my small family of three needed. Although, with only one bathroom I can’t imagine having a full house. We spent several afternoons and evenings in the backyard. The yard was well kept and was cut while we were out one day, which was perfect! My son enjoyed several of the games available in the garage and we had quite the family cornhole competition one evening. The game room was the main reason we rented and did not disappoint! My son fell in love with darts. Unfortunately, my husband and I completely lost track of time playing pool one night and finally called it quits around 3am. There are so many little things that are fabulous about this house like: chargers available in different rooms, Bluetooth speakers in game room, extra hygiene items in case you forgot something, spare blankets, ziplock bags, and information in a binder about the area. My husband was incredibly happy about the easy access to interstate and a general 30 minute drive to anything/everything we wanted to do while here for vacation. We would, without a doubt, stay here again and highly recommend the property!

A simple review

Great experience. Everything listed was available. Host was very responsive and accommodated a later check out time for us. The kids loved the game room and having their own room to share with a wide selection of movies. We all loved the variety of board games provided as well. Great, quite neighborhood. No issues with noise, traffic, or anything else. 10/10 would stay again

Don't hesitate to book!

Wow, what a gem. The house was immaculate and well-equipped. It also had a ton of "extra" touches such as makeup-removing wipes, provided detergent, well-stocked cabinets, and a ton of baby/kid-friendly items (baby gate, pack n-play, potty chair, monitor, and baby bath... to name a few). The location was very close to historic downtown St. Charles. It's not quite walkable, but just a couple-minute drive. It was a quiet neighborhood and communication with the owner was phenomenal. I can't recommend this place enough! My high school besties and I meet in St. Charles once or twice a year, and I think we've found our go-to home base!!

Great cozy house in old town St. Charles

Overall this was a really nice property to stay at. The host had really nice touches all around the house. The backyard was nice and there was wood stocked for the firepit. It's not a negative on the house, but just a caution for young families, the stairs going to the upstairs are a little narrow, which makes it slightly difficult for younger children. The host did a good job putting a no-slip coating on the stairs, but if you have very young children it might pose a slight issue. The basement game room was nice and the kids really enjoyed the pool table.
