Wonderful stay! The house was very well stocked with lots of kitchen and bathroom items - everything was labeled very nicely. It was great to take advantage of the nice backyard with chairs, and fire pit, and even firewood. I would most certainly stay here again given the opportunity!

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.

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!

Great stay for our Wedding Party/Guests

What a wonderful, cozy and perfect place for a few members of our daughter's wedding party and guests to stay for the long wedding weekend. Not a detail was missed and this was truly a perfect place to stay. When I (Mother of Bride) went to check into the home to drop off welcome bags for our guests I wanted to stay myself! Definitely would recommend for any St. Charles visitors!

Best VRBO in St Charles

This home is perfect. Notice I said home and not house. It has everything you need and located near Lindenwood and a short drive to historic Main St. Christy is fabulous to work with and if you are lucky you may meet the neighbor across the street. ;) 6 stars

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

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.

Why they chose this property
