Great and relaxing visit

This property is very nice and in a great neighborhood! It is within walking distance of Main Street and many restaurants and shops. My daughter, her children and I had a GREAT experience. The home has many fun things for family time and even for the kids to do on their own. This didn’t feel like a house….. it felt like a HOME!!!!

Pretty good house

The house was very clean. Floor boards were pretty creaky, so we had to tiptoe around when the kids were asleep. Beds were pretty hard. The upstairs room can get hot if the a/c doesn’t stay on.

Super Cute, Fabulous Location!!!

The house was super cute, and lots of fun! Location to Main Street was probably walkable, but we had snow so we drove. We had room to play games and watch Christmas movies at the end of our day in downtown Saint Charles! Fantastic weekend!

Amazing place to stay!

This property was within walking distance to historic downtown, which was great! The decor, the ease of check-in/check-out, the attention to detail was all just pretty cool top notch. It was comfy, had everything you could need, had a fun area for the kiddos and also had a fun game that kept us entertained for one of the evenings. And btw, we did find all 25 keys! Would definitely recommend!!!!!

About the host

Hosted by Gina Lewis

Host profile image
Hi! John and Gina here! We got started in the short-term rental world almost by accident! We have been flipping homes since we were first married 16 years ago and decided to give it a go with one of our flips. We haven’t looked back! We love what we do and are Superhosts on AirbnB with almost 300, 5 star reviews in just TWO short years! We love curating experiences and going above and beyond in hospitality for you and yours!

Our homes have gotten so much attention on how well they are remodeled and designed that it organically grew into us becoming local home designers and decorators. We do custom kitchens and baths as well as flip homes and own several short term rental properties. As you can imagine, we also do consulting as we get asked quite a lot for guidance in this market. YES, we are busyyy!

We have 2 smart and energetic kiddos, Liam age 9 and Willow age 4! They are each other’s best friends and worst enemies and pester each other every chance they get. So when we are not running our businesses, you can find us breaking up fights between those two!

Over the years we have really been able to offer a place for so many different and unique people and their stories. This is by far my favorite part of hosting. We got to reunite a father and his son after 20 years of being apart. We were allowed the humbling experience to give a family a soft place to land after losing 4 children and their mother in a house fire. We have hosted so many celebrations and fun times for girls weekends, mother/daughter trips, couples getaways, and staycations. It is more than just hosting for us, it is hospitality and a chance to make this world a more positive place for all of us!

Why they chose this property

You are within walking distance to several bakeries, coffeeshops (including Starbucks), local eateries with fine and simple dining, Missouri River, The Katy Trail, spas, Lewis and Clark Boathouse and Museum, movie theaters, live music, and don't forget all the many festivals down by the river every year!! 30 minutes to the St Louis Arch, 8 miles from the STL Airport. Looking for an exciting night life? Ameristar Casino is only 1 mile away! 🛍 🍴 ☕️ 🎫 🍹 🚴 💆‍♀️ 🎶
Our favorites to Google are: Sulcrose, Prasinos, Picasso's Coffee, The Bike Stop Cafe and Rental, Upshot Coffee

A great walking route to nearby shops and getting to historic Main Street: take a left on Fourth, take another left on Perry st. Walk a couple blocks and you're there! LOTS of variety within walking distance.
