20 year wedding anniversary
We really enjoyed our stay. Couple points1) house very accommodating and cozy. The Kuerig with water was nice in the morning. We had a small accident and 1side plate fell and broke. Couple points where improvements maybe in order: 1Chest of drawers had musty odor in the room we slept that distracted from our overall experience. 2) Bathroom tub drained frustratingly slow. Thank you for contributing to a perfect 20 year anniversary. We really love St. Charles and look forward to our next trip Rob and Brigette Sitarski

Beautiful property!
The cottage is as pretty as you see in the pictures! Everything was clean and organized. Check in, and communication with the owner, was easy and efficient. The location is perfect. So much to see and do, either by walking or an easy drive into the city. Highly recommend!

I could not have made a better choice for a place to stay in St. Charles. The property was clean and arranged to make the stay homey and comfortable. The location on Main Street was perfect for walking proximity to the historic area, This was my first experience with VRBO; I was very pleased.

Great little getaway!
This is a great little house if you want to get away and explore what’s around St. Charles and St. Louis. Just a block from the downtown St. Charles district where they have a ton of cute shops and restaurants. Very convenient location. House was super cute, clean, and very comfortable. It is up on a hill with stairs to get to it so if you have orthopedic issues probably it the best spot. We took our dogs and there was a small yard for them to go but the grass was pretty tall. A great spot overall!! Will come back again!

The property was well equipped inside 100¾tter than any hotel could ever offer. The location was in walking distance to many wonderful restaurants ,bars and shops. I recommend visiting the area. Only improvements I would suggest are changing the shower curtain as it had mold on the bottom, cleaning the ac vents/registers in the house, cut the grass and touch of the walls with fresh paint.
