1830's Luxury Brick Cottage, Cozy Fireplace, right off the Cobblestone Streets!

'The Riverfront Guest House' located at #422 Rear S. Main Street centrally located in the historic district of St. Charles, Missouri is a charming, upscale brick guest cottage built in 1830's and 100% remodeled in 2013 for the vacation rental experience and sleeps 4 people. The Riverfront Guest House was originally a wheelwright shop that made and repaired wagon wheels for the thousands of new settlers and explorers coming through St. Charles and heading westward. Today it has been completely refinished with beautiful modern amenties while restoring much of the original, unique qualities such as exposed brick walls, and large exposed wood beams. This ambiance continues to the surrounding area of Main Street St. Charles and Riverfront. With over 10 blocks on the Historic District National Registry, its one of the largest districts in the country. Panoramic views of the Missouri river greet you right out the front door.
The main floor (ground level) of this quaint cottage sleeps 2 people and includes a lovely queen size bed with luxury bedding and mattress. There is a very large corner gas fireplace with elevated brick hearth, kitchen with refrigerator, freezer, and microwave, and an antique table and chairs where you can sit and gaze out at Frontier Park and watch the beautiful Missouri river go by. Enjoy cable TV on a large wall hanging flat screen from the bed or seating area. The full bathroom also on the main ground level includes a walk in shower with two shower valves, one rainshower shower head and another multiple mode shower head.
The 2nd floor of the cottage sleeps two more guests with two cozy built-in beds with comfortable twin mattresses and bedding and individual lighting. Warm walnut floors and low ceilings make this an inviting place for children or adults to sleep. A window in the exposed brick wall provides a great view of Frontier Park and the Missouri River. A separate flat screen TV is also included with a Wii gaming system for the children to enjoy on this floor.
The historic cottage has been completely remodeled and designed entirely with vacation renters in mind. The cottage is completely private and separate from 'The Main Street Guest House' located near the cottage, and can be rented separately or with The Main Street house for guests traveling with multiple parties or large groups. All modern amenities are included such as two 40 gallon hot water heaters so you never run out of hot water, cable TV, Wifi, Keurig coffee maker, and high efficiency heating and cooling, and much more. Take a short troll across Riverside Drive into Frontier Park along the Missouri River, ride a bike on The Katy Trail directly in front of the cottage, or walk the cobblestone sidewalk along the one of the largest historic districts on the national registry. Countless shopping and dining options await you, all within walking distance (less than a half mile in either direction). The best part, most are unique businesses that you won't find anywhere else, like Braddens restaurant, Lewis and Clark restaurant, Winery of the Little Hills (great outdoor seating with fire pits located right across the street), Mother-in-Law House restaurant 98ft away, The Hobbit Hole Antiques, Moss next door for some of the latest fashion, Trailhead Brewery, Grandmas Cookies a few doors down, Kat and Me, and countless others. A personal favorite with our family of four small of children is Riverside Sweets located only two doors down where visitors of all ages can enjoy some of the best ice cream, homemade candy and fudge, caramel apples, and walls and walls of candy and collectibles to choose from. A few blocks north, Picasso's offers a great cup of coffee and some live music at times. Grab breakfast at The Bikestop Cafe and rent a bike for a peaceful ride on The Katy Trail just a few hundred feet from the home. Ameristar Casino is also located within a mile of the home just outside the Historic area for those looking for a little nightlife. Two major malls, Mid-Rivers Mall, and St. Louis Premium Outlet Mall, are located 10 minutes in either direction. Located on the other side of highway 70, The St. Charles Convention Center and Family Arena are located about five minutes from the guest house. A short 25 minute drive will get you to most St. Louis Attractions such as The Arch, The St. Louis Zoo, The Magic House, The City Museum, The Art Museum, Grants Farm, Busch Stadium, The Fox Theatre, The Peabody, The Art Museum, and so many other fun things to do and see. Spend the day seeing the sights of St. Louis and then head back to family friendly St. Charles, walk to dinner, and kick back and relax and visit with your loved ones at night. The home is located approximately 10-15 minutes from St. Louis Lambert Airport, with plenty of public and private transportation available. St. Peters Catholic church is just a short 1/4 mile stroll away, as well as the Main Street Church on North Main. SSM St. Joseph Health Center is also located within 1/4 mile for those needing a place to stay while visiting loved ones, or if health issues should arise. With many fantastic festivities on Main Street and in Frontier Park for year round interest for all ages, there's always something new to experience when you stay at the Main Street Guest House! for lots of great information and a calendar of upcoming events. Please feel free to call us at anytime. We sure hope to hear from you, and thank you!

This house was perfect for the 2 of us on a mini getaway. It is right off the mai street with tons of shopping and restaurants within walking distance and the river right across the street.

Amazing place in dreamy location
Loved this cozy cabin. So welcoming and incredible to spend a relaxing weekend in St Charles downtown. The snow made it even dreamier. You get access to lots of local spaces walking distance and the Katy trail right across the street! The cabin js so clean and well kept. Theres a lot of attention to detail in the set up and the hosts are really helpful! Cant wait to come back.

Perfect Spot in St Charles
The Guest House was the perfect spot for us. The house was quaint, clean and absolutely adorable. My husband and I enjoyed our time together and we loved all that downtown historic Saint Charles had to offer. Audrey & Matt were kind, prompt & very accommodating.

Quick work trip
I was in town for a work meeting. I have found VRBO properties to be a much more comfortable alternative to generic hotels, and The Guest House did not disappoint. The riverfront location was cozy, inviting and very clean. Thw property is within walking distance to shops and restaurants. The owner Matt even personally called me after check-in to make sure everything was alright... definitely a nice warm personal touch, that made me feel at home! I highly recommend and will definitely be returning!

I had a lovely stay. The guest house was within walking distance to so many historical sites. I felt comfortable and safe - it was just the perfect place to land after a full day / weekend of training. Very peaceful. The hosts were very responsive and answered my questions within minutes. Such a cute place. I’m hoping to come back and spend more time exploring and enjoying the area with my family. I highly recommend.

Historic Cottage on Main St.
We had a lovely stay while visiting family in St. Charles. The carriage house is well located. It was clean and efficient. The kitchen has all that is needed for a quick breakfast. Guests aren't likely to do much cooking as the carriage house is within walking distance of many great restaurants. My girls loved the upstairs bed nooks, especially after discovering the built in reading lights.
