A Wonderful Historical House in St Charles

Loved this house. My family said one of their favorite VRBO homes. Beautiful, clean, amazing location and a hot tub! We will stay there again. I am sure it would be a fantastic Christmas house.

Great place near Main Street

The Guest House is an amazing place to stay. Its location is central to the shops and restaurants on Main St. You can walk to everything! The house itself was very clean and provided us everything we needed for our stay. The hosts were very responsive to an issue that honestly was our own fault. T they were great to work with. We have stayed here before and the back patio is a great addition. We will definitely stay here again.

Love This Home

We had a wonderful weekend in this historic home! We were greeted by a beautiful Christmas tree in the window!! When we walked in the home it was decorated ready for Christmas. The location is right in the historic district and is perfect to walk to shops and restaurants! I truly wish we could have spent more time in this special home! We would love to come back again!

Amarillo, Texas is now on the Guest House map! :)

Our family had a great time in this historic neighborhood. We thought not having a stove/oven might be problematic but it wasn't at all - there were so many places nearby to explore we didn't miss cooking for ourselves. There are steep steps - the rooms are on three floors - but our 3 and 5 year old were able to handle them just fine. Everything was clean and ready for us when we arrived. The location is great to get on the highway for downtown but be sure to save time to explore historic St Charles and Main Street. (check the times for things - lots are closed Mon/Tues) We enjoyed staying at The Guest House, had quick replies to any correspondence from our hosts and will definitely look in to this, and their additional properties, for future visits to St. Louis.

Great location; charming home

This cottage beats a hotel any day of the week. There’s plenty of room, charming decor, and attention to details. Not to mention the proximity to everything old St. Charles has to offer. We’ve stayed here or at other cottages owned by the same company several times when visiting relatives in St. Louis and we’ll continue to do so.

Great b&b, awesome location

We were pleased to find this old, historical b&b very comfortable, clean, and pleasantly livable. The location couldn't have been better as we were able to walk to breakfast cafes, to shops, to the Missouri, to historical buildings, and to nice restaurants. Surrounded by ancient brick streets and buildings, we felt immersed in history. We would definitely go back!

About the host

Hosted by Audrey and Matt Gorski

Host profile image
Our family of seven loves to travel, and when we discovered the vacation home option instead of hotels, we knew we wanted a rental property of our own to share with others. We hope our cottages enhance your vacation like so many homes have done for us. We love meeting and talking with people from all over, so please feel free to give us a call!- Audrey and Matt

Why they chose this property

We've always loved Old Town St. Charles because of its charm, fun atmosphere, and historic architecture. When we saw this little brick house for sale we thought it was just perfect and would be a way for us to enjoy the area even more and let other people experience it too.

What makes this property unique

With everything in walking distance, we love that we don't have to pile everyone into the car when we want to go eat, shop, or play. The many festivities and events happening all year round, give the whole family something to enjoy.
