"St Geneva" Private With River View! 10 min From Lamplight Equestrian Center

Welcome to "St. Geneva"! I call it that because of the home's ideal location between 2 gorgeous and quaint towns-St. Charles and Geneva.

Between the two towns there's plenty of shopping and night life to be had. The home is located along The Fox River. Just cross the street you can access miles of biking/walking trails. Feel free to take 2 kayaks over to the launch just a couple blocks away. Walk to the farmer’s market for fresh food to prepare in the fully equipped kitchen.

I'm currently occupying the upstairs unit, so the common areas are the screen room, utility room (washer and dryer), patio with tables and chairs, the yard and a grill. For chilly weather there is a gas operated fire pit. Sit around the fire on a cool night with your favorite beverage for a chat or roast marshmallows without smelling like a forest fire! Please give notice when you want to use the grill, fire pit, kayaks, and fishing poles. There is Netflix, Amazon, PS3, DVD player and WiFi access. I have plenty of apps for other streaming platforms that you may sign in with your credentials. In addition, there are good old fashioned cards and board games. Games and toys for children also. Take advantage of the spacious yard for lawn games, which are also provided.

The neighborhood is mature with lots of large trees and beautiful parks. At the back is the Fox River with a street between the house and river and just to the south is a park that at one time was a Civil War training camp. Just across the river is Mt. St Mary Park with tress and a walking trail. Great for cleansing morning walks. The park also contains a basketball court, tennis court, skateboard park, pavilion, and children's playground. The neighbor to my north is very quiet.

Shopping and dining are awesome both in Geneva and St. Charles. Fests and fairs are a large part of both towns.

Some of Arcada Theatre general acts include: tribute bands, comedians, oldies bands, and murder mystery dinners. Particular artists include: America, Dokken, Herman’s Hermits, The Guess Who, Jon Anderson.

For a different turn on live local theatre, the small yet charming Steel Beam Theatre in St Charles is a must.

The Paramount Theatre, located in Aurora and just 30 minutes away, hosts broadway style musicals and plays.

10 minutes from Lamplight Equestrian Center. 7 minutes from The Q Center. If you want to visit Chicago, there is a train station in Geneva that will get you there.


Guests will be given an entry code 1-3 days before check in which will allow them access to the screen room to their secure door where there will be a key for the deadbolt.

**** When booking, please let me know what brings you to the area and who will be staying with you in the house. Please be sure to register the correct number of guests so there will be no surprises once you are here. Extra guests will still be charged according to my rates even after check in. It’s better to be open and honest up front. All those traveling with you as well as those you entertain at the house will need to be informed of and be in agreement with the house rules. Please put any furniture, plates and utensils back in the original location before checking out****

Some guests have made mention of bothersome road noise. There are fans located in the closets which can be used as white noise. Ear plugs available upon request.

Kitchen fully equipped and the host even provided a few snacks. The house was warm and the light were on when we got there. The bed was comfortable, the shower was hot and it was spotless. The view is what makes this rental exceptional. So pretty to just watch the river run by. We will definitely stay here again.

We checked in during a snow storm and our host was out there shoveling the driveway and the sidewalk! We really appreciated the warm welcome and the kind hospitality. The property was comfortable and suited our needs perfectly. St Charles is a charming town and we look forward to visiting again.

Michael is an exceptional host. Everything was exactly as stated but so much more. Many extra touches that are not mentioned in the description but are there to make your stay even more enjoyable. We especially appreciated the Christmas decorations. Michael was very responsive to our wish to have the heat lowered. We would love to stay here again. Thank you Michael for all you offer.

This VRBO exceeded expectations, which does not always happen! We had just enough space for 4 adults in order to attend a weekend wedding. The host was immediately responsive and helpful, although the place was so well stocked we did not need anything! Historical site and park across the street was a pleasant surprise.

This was my second stay at St Geneva. I loved it more this time than the last. Our host thought of everything from kitchen utensils to toiletries. The beds are clean and super comfortable, the living room is inviting, yhe view is stunning and we saw lots of wildlife in the adjacent field for which our host provided binoculars. Location is perfect right between St Charles and Geneva with easy access to both and could be walking distance to coffee shops, groceries, shopping, and restaurants.I will be back.
