A great place to stay close to historic St. Charles. Our girls trip thought the space was perfect for a weekend getaway. The place was very spacious and host was quick to respond when we had a question. A washer and dryer in the house was an added bonus for our rainy weekend. Would stay at this location again!

This was a nice place to stay. The beds were comfortable, there was lots of space, and the kitchen had everything we needed. We have a toddler and a baby, and having a washer and dryer in the unit was super helpful. We would consider staying here again for future trips to St. Charles.

Great communication from host, clean home, comfortable, great location. The only thing to note is the two bedrooms are upstairs and the bathroom is on the main floor. Wasn't an issue for us but something that would be good to know when booking.

About the host

Hosted by Rachel Hirth

Host profile image
I have lived in St. Charles and St. Louis my entire life - I love the small town feel of Saint Charles and I love how close we are to the wonderful city of St. Louis - the history in both areas is amazing and beautiful! I love traveling more than anything and I love to be able to provide a home away from home for those that have the same love of travel!

Why they chose this property

This house is cozy and historic - being built in 1860 - and still has all the amenities you could ask for when traveling and not wanting to be in a hotel! The 10 foot ceilings and exposed brick are just a few areas of charm within the walls.

What makes this property unique

Walking distance to Main Street and close to Highway 70, which makes a short drive to Downtown St. Louis.
