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!

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!

Fall Family Getaway

This was a great place to use as home base for our adventures in St. Louis. We were close to grocery stores to get our eat in food with plenty of options for dining out. Grandma’s cookies less than a block away was also a huge plus. We were able to stroll the shops of St Charles and take evening walks along the river.

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.
