About this property
"St Geneva" Private With River View! 7 min to the Q Center
Welcome to "St. Geneva"! I call it that because of the home's ideal location between 2 gorgeous and quaint towns-St. Charles and Geneva.
Between the two towns there's plenty of shopping and night life to be had. The home is located along The Fox River. Just cross the street you can access miles of biking/walking trails. Feel free to take 2 kayaks over to the launch just a couple blocks away. Walk to the farmer’s market for fresh food to prepare in the fully equipped kitchen.
I'm currently occupying the upstairs unit, so the common areas are the screen room, utility room (washer and dryer), patio with tables and chairs, the yard and a grill. For chilly weather there is a gas operated fire pit. Sit around the fire on a cool night with your favorite beverage for a chat or roast marshmallows without smelling like a forest fire! Please give notice when you want to use the grill, fire pit, kayaks, and fishing poles. There is Netflix, Amazon, PS3, DVD player and WiFi access. I have plenty of apps for other streaming platforms that you may sign in with your credentials. In addition, there are good old fashioned cards and board games. Games and toys for children also. Take advantage of the spacious yard for lawn games, which are also provided.
The neighborhood is mature with lots of large trees and beautiful parks. At the back is the Fox River with a street between the house and river and just to the south is a park that at one time was a Civil War training camp. Just across the river is Mt. St Mary Park with tress and a walking trail. Great for cleansing morning walks. The park also contains a basketball court, tennis court, skateboard park, pavilion, and children's playground. The neighbor to my north is very quiet.
Shopping and dining are awesome both in Geneva and St. Charles. Fests and fairs are a large part of both towns.
Some of Arcada Theatre general acts include: tribute bands, comedians, oldies bands, and murder mystery dinners. Particular artists include: America, Dokken, Herman’s Hermits, The Guess Who, Jon Anderson.
For a different turn on live local theatre, the small yet charming Steel Beam Theatre in St Charles is a must.
The Paramount Theatre, located in Aurora and just 30 minutes away, hosts broadway style musicals and plays.
10 minutes from Lamplight Equestrian Center. 7 minutes from The Q Center. If you want to visit Chicago, there is a train station in Geneva that will get you there.
Guests will be given an entry code 1-3 days before check in which will allow them access to the screen room to their secure door where there will be a key for the deadbolt. Most often I will be around to greet guests when they first arrive. If I’m not able to be there I will definitely inform my guests.
**** When booking, please let me know what brings you to the area and who will be staying with you in the house. Please be sure to register the correct number of guests so there will be no surprises once you are here. Extra guests will still be charged according to my rates even after check in. It’s better to be open and honest up front. All those traveling with you as well as those you entertain at the house will need to be informed of and be in agreement with the house rules. Please put any furniture, plates and utensils back in the original location before checking out****
Some guests have made mention of bothersome road noise. There are fans located in the closets which can be used as white noise. Ear plugs available upon request.

Our host Michael assured we were warm and cozy , left extra treats after a long day, Tv had great channels, and it was decorated for Christmas, it was absolutely beautiful!!
My friend and I had a wonderful weekend retreat here. The host was very thorough, welcoming, and helpful. We appreciated the cozy, clean space and the great location near shopping, food, and the river. Definitely recommend!
We checked in during a snow storm and our host was out there shoveling the driveway and the sidewalk! We really appreciated the warm welcome and the kind hospitality. The property was comfortable and suited our needs perfectly. St Charles is a charming town and we look forward to visiting again.
Michael is an exceptional host. Everything was exactly as stated but so much more. Many extra touches that are not mentioned in the description but are there to make your stay even more enjoyable. We especially appreciated the Christmas decorations. Michael was very responsive to our wish to have the heat lowered. We would love to stay here again. Thank you Michael for all you offer.
The property was wonderful. It was so clean. Michael was a great host. He was a great communicator. I would stay there again when we go back to Illinois!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at St. Geneva. Host was friendly and accommodating. Everything was clean and neat. Grounds and views were beautiful. Hope to stay there again when visiting family.
Super clean and cozy cottage! The host is kind and was super easy to communicate with. Location wass close to Geneva and St. Charles which offer a ton of local shops amd restaurants.Highly recommend!
This home was very clean and comfortable. Lots of extras provided in the kitchen and bathroom. Such a nice location right on the river. And the host was very communicative which was very helpful. Would definitely stay here again!
This VRBO exceeded expectations, which does not always happen! We had just enough space for 4 adults in order to attend a weekend wedding. The host was immediately responsive and helpful, although the place was so well stocked we did not need anything! Historical site and park across the street was a pleasant surprise.
Loved it! The host, location, the serenity, and the home was more than expected. The location is walking distance to one of my favorite store. Michael was very welcoming. Thank you!
Our stay was for 10 nights and the property was very comfortable and the host was very accommodating. The place was clean, the heating was adequate and the laundry facilities were good. A nice place for a stay.
This was absolutely one of the best rentals EVER! Michael is a wonderful host! He made every effort to make our stay comfortable! The apartment was the cleanest I’ve stayed in. Every detail was thought out! Location was great! Wonderful to walk to town! Bravo Michael!
This was my second stay at St Geneva. I loved it more this time than the last. Our host thought of everything from kitchen utensils to toiletries. The beds are clean and super comfortable, the living room is inviting, yhe view is stunning and we saw lots of wildlife in the adjacent field for which our host provided binoculars. Location is perfect right between St Charles and Geneva with easy access to both and could be walking distance to coffee shops, groceries, shopping, and restaurants.I will be back.

Michael was a great host. The property was very clean. The beds were very comfortable. The sculpture park across the street along the river was wonderful for walks in the evening.
There are also other quaint cities near by to see.
We loved our stay at St Geneva! Michael is an excellent host - very personable and responsive to any questions we had. Check-in was a breeze and wi-fi worked great. The location was perfect for exploring the Fox River Valley - we loved our long walks along the river between St Charles, Geneva and Batavia. Accommodations were really comfortable, including the a/c and overhead fans which we used on some very hot days. We were always comfortable indoors. The kitchen is cozy but very well supplied. Very happy with our stay!
We had a wonderful time at St. Geneva. The location was perfect for us with walking trails nearby. It was convenient to downtown and the Q Center. The place was clean, neat and well equipped. Michael was very responsive to our questions and needs. The gluten free muffins were a thoughtful touch for our daughter.
House had everything we needed, lovely decor and location is close to everything. We loved the walking path along the river to downtown St Charles. Lots of good restaurants and coffee shops nearby. Would definitely stay again!
I purchased the property for living in and renting out. I occupy the upstairs while my guests stay below. The amount of interaction with guests is largely dependent on the guests. Some guests in the past have had a specific agenda for visiting the area and I hardly saw them. With others, I would have great conversation over wine in the courtyard. I want to help provide a memorable experience for all my guests by providing a great place to stay in a terrific location with fun things to do.
Why they chose this property
I chose this property because it's located on the river in a mature neighborhood with large trees. Also, the proximity to the two gorgeous towns of St Charles and Geneva means there is never a shortage of fun things to do and interesting things to see. I know my guests will find this to be an ideal location.
What makes this property unique
I really love being on the river. Not only for the beauty of it but also to be able to walk my kayak over to the launch and enjoy a little morning exercise. Miles of bike trails are accessed just by crossing the street. Close to abundant shopping, amazing restaurants, live theatre, cinema, and a train station for Chicago trips.
