This property was absolutely perfect for our girls weekend! Plenty of space for our 7 person group, lots to do at the property(we had a blast in the basement!) and in the surrounding area. Christy was very communicative and helped us solve a parking problem right away. The house was clean and well kept, and all of our home info and instructions were laid out simply and neatly. This is a great place to stay!

We loved our stay at your beautiful home. It was very convenient to Lindenwood university which we were attending several events that weekend. We absolutely loved your beautiful backyard and fire pit. The chairs were very comfortable. It was such a nice setting. The bedrooms were very comfortable as was the living room. The kitchen had everything we needed along with spices foil, oils and etc.. we had a lot of fun playing games in the basement. It was a great place to stay the weekend. I’d like to come back again when we can enjoy historic Saint Charles. Thanks again.
