We loved the house and location. The house was very clean and spacious. I would absolutely recommend this house to anyone! It was great. The kitchen was fully stocked along with coffee and beds were comfortable! We will be back!
The house is perfect—very well appointed, clean, unique interior and conveniently located! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Grateful for the washer &dryer and all the snacks too. A great impression for our first visit to Missouri!
The house was incredible! Clean, cozy yet spacious and a perfect location 1/2 block from the historic district. Shops, eating and walking paths all just a few steps from our doorstep!
This house is in such a cute perfect location. Loved all the games for the kids, kept them entertained when we just wanted to chill at the house. Main floor shower was amazing.
I have stayed at quite a few VRBO properties all over, but this was by far the easiest owner to communicate with, the cleanest/nicest house, and a great location. Would definitely stay again!
House is so charming and a home away from home! The historical home and town were literally the vacation I will cherish! Game room was a hit!I highly recommend for any family that plans to visit St. Charles, MO!
Wonderful stay with family as we were in town to celebrate my son’s wedding. Beautiful home, close to wedding venue, and perfect for wedding pics just outside the home. Thank you Matt and Audrey. We will always remember our stay at The Guest House. Thank you.

Thank you for staying! So glad to be a part of your happy memories of that day! :)
Perfect location! We loved walking down to main street and along the river every day. So many cute shops and wonderful places to eat. Close to St. Louis as well which was awesome!
House is as described. Super comfortable and wonderful location!! Kitchen essentials and appliances were amazing to have. The beds, reading nook and couches were comfortable for hanging out and reading in long stretches. Great communication with the host when questions needed answers. My friends and I definitely want to come back to this exact house again. Location is perfect to walk on Main Street.
We all enjoyed our stay here very much. Large space and the outdoor area is lovely and private! We had a fantastic time, and just a block off Main Street!
We loved how close it was to Main Street. Was a quick 30 minute drive to anything you want to do in St. Louis. The home was well stocked and one of the best properties we have currently stayed at.
