Very close to historic district. Restaurants and shopping all easy walking distance. The house was very clean and everything in good working condition. I appreciated the little extras that many vrbo do not provide.....like coffee pods, some snacks, plenty of toliet paper and mini shampoos and conditioners which came in handy as i forgot my shampoo.

The kitchen is equipped for a weekend getaway. No stove, but microwave. Utensils etc are fine.Beds are comfortable. Decor is great.All the books around were good. I wish I had had more time to spend with some of the books.Only issues for us were all the steps. It is steep on 3 floors. Great for anyone in great shape. Bit of a challenge for our ages. But we made it work. The surrounding buildings felt a little sketchy. Great location for Main Street St. Charles. We could easily walk to get to Main Street.

Perfect house for a weekend in St. Charles

Some friends and I stayed here for a weekend getaway. This house was perfect. It was within walking distance of many shops, restaurants, and bars. The house was spacious enough for all 6 of us to feel comfortable and not feel like we were on top of each other. The hot tub was also a great addition!

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.

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.
