The house was in a beautiful historic neighborhood. For our family, maybe especially me, having only one bathroom located on the main floor while bedrooms were up 16 steep stairs was the only drawback. It was not clear in the photos where the bathroom was located. Part of the charm of a 100 year plus home. Selected this property 95% based on location between Lindenwood and downtown. Figured I could handle the stairs for 2 days.

Great all around. Honestly, the main floor felt more spacious than the pictures can show.Location perfect for us, super close to everything but quiet neighborhood. The combined kuerig / full-pot coffee maker came in useful for us. We would definitely stay here again.Kitchen better stocled than most.

Charming historical home was a cozy and clean place to stay. Everything was easy to find, tidy, and nicely decorated. We had plenty of room to spread out and the bedrooms upstairs were cool and very comfortable.We appreciate that parking was convenient as well. This worked out great for a special getaway with family.

About the host

Hosted by Rachel Hirth

Host profile image
I have lived in St. Charles and St. Louis my entire life - I love the small town feel of Saint Charles and I love how close we are to the wonderful city of St. Louis - the history in both areas is amazing and beautiful! I love traveling more than anything and I love to be able to provide a home away from home for those that have the same love of travel!

Why they chose this property

This house is cozy and historic - being built in 1860 - and still has all the amenities you could ask for when traveling and not wanting to be in a hotel! The 10 foot ceilings and exposed brick are just a few areas of charm within the walls.

What makes this property unique

Walking distance to Main Street and close to Highway 70, which makes a short drive to Downtown St. Louis.
