Cute and Cozy!

We have stayed in St. Charles several times and this is by far one my favorites! Rachel’s place is impeccably clean, lots of space and decorated to make you feel at home. The house has historic charm with the brick walls and high ceilings. The bathroom is spacious and was super clean! The kitchen has everything you need and we loved the back yard space. This cute house was in walking distance to The Crooked Tree cafe as well as Main Street. Would definitely love to stay here again for our next visit. Highly recommended!

Check-in was easy enough. The parking pad that's stated to hold 4 vehicles (2 for each unit) may hold 4 if you don't open the doors. So, I wouldn't plan on having more than 1 vehicle back there (for 1 rental unit).The area was nice, I never felt like I was in a bad area.Most of the pictures, with the exception of the couch, did not match what was actually in the unit.I went out one morning and came back to a truck parked in the parking pad, taking up both spots. Two men were painting the exterior of the unit, which included climbing on the roof (right outside the bedroom windows). When they were painting at the back door, they were looking directly at me while i was inside. The back door has a window with no curtain (even though the pics showed a curtain there). It was an extremely uncomfortable situation and we weren't even notified that anyone would be there.I didn't like that the big kitchen window had no coverings and the back door window, as stated previously, had no coverings.Unfortunately, the unit attached to ours was being rented by someone with multiple dogs that would go on a barking spree and then you'd hear her yelling at them. So, they're definitely not sound proof.Even though the bedrooms were upstairs and would get warm, there's a window unit that more than effectively cooled them off.Overall, it's not a bad place to stay but it doesn't meet our needs so we would not return.

This was our third year staying a week here with our pup to visit our son at Lindenwood. We enjoy the location and size of the living room. As well as the washer/dryer and dishwasher. As not all historic VRBO in St. Charles offer this. It is a perfect location for everything and our pup enjoys his neighborhood walks.

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.

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.
