The St. Charles Guest House, lovely historic home, fun for families and groups

"The St. Charles Guest House" is a beautifully renovated and decorated home in the heart of Historic St. Charles, MO. This luxurious rental has 3 bedrooms and an extra sleeping nook that sleeps 9 total. Groups and families will have a great time here with it's lovely full kitchen which is open to the living room and includes a huge stone fireplace between the two, bed nook under the stairs perfect for relaxing or an extra sleeping place, fun and unique game room, and floor plan with plenty of room to spread out. Two upstairs bedrooms feature a queen bed with a twin mattress pullout in one, and a full and twin bed in the other. The super cozy master suite is tucked away on the opposite side of the house from the kitchen/living room area and feels like a retreat in itself. It has a built in king bed, reclaimed barn wood ceiling, it's own heating and cooling system, and fireplace making it perfect for couples getaway as well! There's a great view from master suite of Main Street and all the way down to the river!
Both full bathrooms are uniquely designed with subway tiled, walk-in showers, and the main level shower featuring a shower panel with 2 shower heads and 6 body sprays! The second bathroom is conveniently located off the landing between the two bedrooms.
The game room includes a large shuffleboard table that also has a mini bowling game option, a gaming area with two different classic Nintendo game systems, tons of board games, kids toys, books, and more! A bar height table and stools, and bean bag chairs make it fun and comfortable for all ages to hang out and play!
Walk straight out the door of The St. Charles Guest House and you will see the picture perfect, historic Borromeo log church and directly in front of that the world famous Grandma's Cookies! From there you can explore all up and down Main Street which is all easy walking distance from this central location. The numerous boutique shops and vast array of restaurants and eateries will keep you busy for weeks! The best part, most are unique businesses that you won't find anywhere else, like Braddens restaurant, Lewis and Clark restaurant, Salt and Smoke Barbecue (great outdoor seating with fire pits located right down the street), The Hobbit Hole Antiques, Moss next door for some of the latest fashion, Trailhead Brewery, Sweetie Pies Bakery, and Riverside Sweets, and countless others. A few blocks north, Picasso's offers a great cup of coffee and some live music at times. Grab breakfast at Frontier Perk, and then head to The Bike Stop Cafe and rent a bike for a peaceful ride on The Katy Trail. 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 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!

Wonderful place to stay!
I have stayed at quite a few VRBO properties all over, but this was by far the easiest owner to communicate with, the cleanest/nicest house, and a great location. Would definitely stay again!

Great House & Great Location
This house was perfect for our family to hang out and hit Main Street in St. Charles. The house itself has an updated kitchen and bathrooms and has enough space for a big family chill and watch movies or play video games. It is within walking distance of all the attractions on Main Street and if you are up to it, the Ameristar casino.

Weekend Get Away
Had a wonderful weekend get away in St. Charlies. The house was so close to main street, but far enough away not to hear the noise. The house had everything and more! The water and snacks were a nice touch. Everything was very clean. Would stay here again.

Beautiful home in a great location
The house was very clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Being located so close to the shops, restaurants, and historic sites made it very easy for us to make the most of our time in St. Charles. The game room was a big hit with our 11-year-old grandson. We would definitely recommend this rental and hope to be able to stay there again in the future.

Fun with Family
The property was in a great location to downtown, we were able to enjoy the area each day just by a short walk. The St. Louis area was only about a 30min drive which was convenient as well. The house was very relaxing and provided a nice home for the week. We would definitely recommend this house to others for a wonderful experience in St. Charles, MO.

St Charles guest house
This was within walking distance to everything downtown St Charles had to offer. There is a trolley on the weekends that will drive you to other attractions and gives info on the towns history. We stayed 4th July weekend and could see the fireworks perfect from the sitting area outside. The house was very clean and had all the accommodations we needed. We will definitely be back.

Graduation Celebration!
We had a wonderful time staying in this adorable home! Our youngest, age 12, loved playing with the wooden pinball game and then hopping over to the mini NES. Our graduate, age 18, as well as our parents ages 60-75 loved walking along the river, shopping in the historic district, and of course eating at the fantastic restaurants. The home was so comfy and the decor was beautiful. We highly recommend staying here and would love to return the next time we visit St. Louis.

Perfect Location!
The home is right behind Main Street making it the perfect location for everything there. Easy walking access to shopping, food and events. The home was just as described and shown in pictures; beautiful! It was clean and loved that both bathrooms were always accessible without going into a bedroom. That’s perfect for a group! We would love to stay in the home again or one of the others available with the Cottage Group; you’ve got us hooked! Thank you for being easy and quick in any communication.

We had a wonderful time. The place was super clean. the decorating was awesome! Everything you would need was there. The location is incredible! SOOOO close to restaurants and things to do. Literally a 1 minute walk. Also, close enough to St Louis! About 25 minutes. We kept reading how St Louis can be not as safe and St Charles was such a safe place to stay! If you are considering staying here book it now! You will be so happy you did!

St Charles Guest House
The Guest House is beautiful and well taken care of.Close to Main Street with shops ,restaurants and a park.Casino is right down the road.We appreciated the snacks and coffee k cups and the binder with info of the town and restaurants. Beds for at least 7 guests.Beds were comfortable.The bed in the nook in living room and king bed down stairs are too high .Would be great if there were steps that could be built to make it easier for people to get in these beds.The shower on the main floor is awesome!!
