Love!

I highly recommend this property, it is in a quiet neighborhood. There are a lot of things to do near by, very clean, cozy, and comfortable place to stay. I love the 3 full bathrooms so each room has its own facilities. The owner was amazing, polite, readily available to help with any questions or concerns. My family and friends greatly enjoyed ourselves and I look forward to returning to stay here again.

Baby Shower

We loved it. We will rent here again if we have the opportunity. The only complaints were that there was no comforter on the beds and the shower water pressure was very weak!

Response from VrboOwner on 2 Dec 2024
Hi there. Thank you for your response. However, you know I was only a text away. All the heavy comforters are in each closet ALL bedrooms. And I do have a Handyman on staff. I would’ve easily sent out a handyman the same day to check the water pressure instead of receiving a negative review. Four stars really hurt my rating- in the future, sir. I suggest you contact your host to try to resolve it first everybody deserves a chance.

About the host

Hosted by Stephanie

Host profile image
I’m a local realtor that enjoys biking, water sports, my love for animals and wildlife and fine dining! I’ve been a host for over 11 years and I enjoyed meeting diverse people from all walks to life is the best part of my job.

Why they chose this property

I love biking and animals! So what a better place to be then right in the heart of the Fox Valley along the river with 40 miles of bike paths and wildlife! I have the best of both worlds being a short walk to downtown Saint Charles or downtown Geneva very close to the pool complex and aquatic center as well as numerous activities right along the river, which is steps away from my home!

What makes this property unique

The fact that you could walk to two towns by path. My property is located at the trailhead where you take a stroll down the river or stop at Mill Race cycle to rent some bikes, canoes or kayaks! If you choose to walk to Geneva, you have the world famous THIRD street and all the stores and dining in downtown Saint Charles. You have wonderful dining as well in our famous bell of the Fox River, which is an old-fashioned paddle boat gives tour rides !
