Trade the cramped hotel room for 1.2 manicured, private acres of your own. Part of the Mercer Stays collection of experiential homes in St. Charles, The Chalet is a cozy 2-bedroom set on rare space and seclusion you simply won`t find at a hotel — room to spread out, a hot tub lounge under open sky, and the kind of quiet that makes it easy to slow down and reconnect. Whether you`re celebrating an anniversary, planning a quiet weekend, or just craving real privacy and space, this home was made to help two people (or a small group) breathe and be present.

Mercer Stays exists for one reason: to create spaces that naturally pull people back together. Experiential stays for your family.

🌳 Your own private 1.2 acres

This is the heart of The Chalet: 1.2 manicured, private acres in a prime St. Charles location. Stroll your own grounds, sip morning coffee on the porch, and unwind in the evening with nothing but open sky overhead. Rare space, real seclusion, and a setting that feels a world away while staying minutes from everything.

🎉 Made for slowing down

With private acreage, a hot tub lounge, and a location near everything, The Chalet is made for couples and small groups who want more space, more privacy, and more time to actually relax.

bedroom sizes

The house was clean and cute but smaller than we expected. The 2nd bedroom was very small and while it technically could sleep two, with the bottom mattress pulled out, it just wasn't the best experience. The master bedroom was spacious and bed was comfortable.

I had a fantastic stay at this cozy 2BR chalet on its own private acre. The place was spotless and felt like a true home away from home, with a well‑equipped kitchen and a welcoming fireplace. I travel a lot, and this spot stood out: soaking in the hot tub and firing up the barbecue grill were definite highlights after days spent exploring.The location couldn’t be better. It’s within walking distance of the Family Arena and just a short drive to downtown St. Charles, the historic district, and even the Ameristar Casino if you’re feeling lucky. Being so close to I‑70 made getting around effortless, and St. Louis Airport is just a quick trip away, which made my travel logistics a breeze.Despite being so accessible, the chalet feels secluded and peaceful. It was the perfect base for me to mix relaxation with sightseeing and work travel. I truly can’t say enough good things about the host—Matthew was super fast with replied, attentive, friendly, and hands down the best host I’ve ever stayed with. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates comfort, convenience and top‑notch hospitality.
