  Excellent accommodations for my friends and me. The owner's hospitality was outstanding. Breakfast items plus snacks were included. The cottage was clean and everything that was needed/wanted for our stay was furnished. I would certainly recommend a visit to this cottage.

  A winner!!!!!!!! The house is totally updated and extremely comfortable.. The location is in the heart of downtown St. Charles and very conveniently located to just about anything you would want to do. The house was extremely clean and full of warm touches provided by the owners. I give it 6 out of 5 stars. Can't wait to come again!!!!!

  We thoroughly enjoyed staying at The Guest House. It was immaculate and so close to everything we wanted to do. It is also close to Lindenwood University where many wonderful events are held. We saw Sha-na-na. We can't say enough nice things about our stay including the way from the very beginning with our communications concerning our stay. We did wish we had a few more outside seating - maybe a picnic table in the lovely back yard would be great. We thank you so much.

  Owner response: Thanks so much, Donna, for the nice review and great recommendation! We will definitely be looking into a picnic table! Please come again!

  This home housed 4 adults and 1 teenage girl for a week. We utilized the grill outside to cook most of our meals and the skillet. This cozy home has everything you need and is in a great location. Thank you so much for opening up your home. It's truly a gem!

  The Old Town Guest House was a wonderful place to stay while shopping in St. Charles. It is within walking distance to restaurants and Main St. It was immaculate and comfortable. The extra goodies were a rare treat to an already very reasonably priced cottage. We will definitely be back!

  The Guest Cottage was perfect for us girls to reunite! The amenities were wonderful and we loved being able to be under the same roof to stay up and talk! This is an updated cottage with so much character. We took advantage of all the restaurants and shops St. Charles had to offer!! Thank you for making our trip run smoothly...would love to come back and stay!!

  Fantastic stay! Super close, short walk to shops and restaurants! Hubby and I slept in queen bed upstairs that was so comfortable. The coffee, drinks, and snacks were great! I've rented lots of homes but never one where the owners provided such generous treats! Thanks for a great stay!

  Owner response: Thank you, Karla! We're so happy that you had a nice stay. And we appreciate the kind words about the snacks/drinks. Our hope is that guests can park their car and not have to get in it again, if they don't want to! Thanks again, and we'd love to have you back!

  I wanted a place for my family (all adults) to gather for a few days over the Christmas holiday. This property was great. I've used VRBO regularly for a number of years and had mostly very good experiences. This rates as one of those. A few things that may be of interest to others looking at this house..... The location is pretty much perfect in that area. There's a main touristy area (Main Street. Cobblestone streets, lots of shops, restaurants, bars, etc.) and the house is one block off Main pretty much dead center of the retail/food & drink establishments. There is one more street beyond Main and you are at the park that runs along the Missouri River. Once we got to the house, we never moved a car. (3 parking places for the house + street parking.) The house was spotless when we arrived and very nicely decorated for Christmas (much more so than mine). The exposed brick and stone walls are very cool and the whole place had a nice, upscale feel to it without being fussy. Everything in the place worked. Large flatscreen and Wii in the living room, 2nd flatscreen in the main bedroom. Very strong wifi. Towels were of good quality and there were plenty of them. Very good water pressure in the two showers. (No tub.) Be aware that there is not a stove/oven. There's a convection oven and electric skillet......plan accordingly. The restaurants are so good and so close, don't bother. This unit had by far the best "provisions" of any VRBO rental I've ever done. As you may know, this varies pretty widely and this set the bar for providing food-related items. There were snacks, sodas in the fridge, coffee, sugar, etc., etc. Obviously, some of this is not to be counted on, but if I had it to do over again, I would have gone to the house first, then made a list of what was really needed. We brought far more than what we had to. The communication by Audrey was very good and there were no surprises. The location is a short drive from the airport and is VERY close to Verizon Ampitheater, if you're coming in for a show. If your business or activities are in St. Charles, the Westport area, etc. this is a great spot. Be aware that as of 12/12 there is major bridge construction on the Blanchette, which is the main, closest transit over the Missouri from St. Louis in to St. Charles County. Depending on what the specifics are of construction at the time, rush hours can be brutal. Check the MODOT website for details.

  Owner response: Thank you so much for the kind and thoughtful review! We truly appreciate all that leave kind reviews such as these. In some cases, it is the only contact we have after someone stays at the Guerst House and it is wonderful to hear that others love it as we do. Its much appreciated for our future guests as well. It was our pleasure to host you and your family for Christmas, and we'd love to have you again. Thank you also for leaving the house in such good order! Happy New Year! -Matt & Audrey
