Exactly what We Needed
My son was playing college hockey at the Centene Ice Center, so my husband, my son’s girlfriend, and I all flew in to watch. The house was the perfect setup for us: 3 levels (so we hall had our own space), common areas that allowed us to watch movies when we were together, but with a door to the area that allowed us to work quietly if we needed, as well. It’s right near historic downtown and not far from the rink and casinos. Our hosts were fantastic: their communication and willingness to work with us. We didn’t know how long we’d be there because if the team won, they’d move on to play additional games.

Great location; charming home
This cottage beats a hotel any day of the week. There’s plenty of room, charming decor, and attention to details. Not to mention the proximity to everything old St. Charles has to offer. We’ve stayed here or at other cottages owned by the same company several times when visiting relatives in St. Louis and we’ll continue to do so.

Great b&b, awesome location
We were pleased to find this old, historical b&b very comfortable, clean, and pleasantly livable. The location couldn't have been better as we were able to walk to breakfast cafes, to shops, to the Missouri, to historical buildings, and to nice restaurants. Surrounded by ancient brick streets and buildings, we felt immersed in history. We would definitely go back!

Lovely little house
We had a great time staying in the little house. We were in town for a wedding and it was much better than staying in a hotel. We had our two adult children, two teenage boys, and my mother with us and we all felt we had plenty of room. My mom liked the little sunroom. The 6' tall boys would not have fit, but it was a nice size for her. The location is perfect. It is just steps away from cute shops and restaurants. We did notice the lack of an stove and oven (they are not listed in the amenities -I just didn't read it that close) so no late night cookies. Overall it was a great place for some quality family time.

Location is everything
Rental was smaller than I had imagined but functioned just fine for our 4 primary occupants for the long weekend. We had another couple who only planned to stay for one night who slept in the room with the day bed, which has a trundle underneath. I feel like if they were staying longer the arrangements would have seemed cramped. The house overall is super clean and all the linens and towels were fresh. There was a friendly little hummingbird that kept stopping by and a nest of baby rabbits in the yard that we noticed when we were hanging out on the patio. But for sure the best part of the house is the proximity to the shops and restaurants on Main St. This house is situated near the middle of the historic district, so everything is a short stroll away. Would rent again.

Awesome Property & Location
We loved your house! Was perfect for our group and needs during the Working Womens Survival Show which we will be attending every year! Only complaint...and really more of an fyi...your frontload washer has mildewed which made the towels smelly. Once we realized we washed them all prior to usage. We found some sanitizer in the laundry room and added that which helped a bit.
