What a lovely place to stay - nice and clean with special thought given to the decor inside and out! The house was conveniently located in the St. Charles' historic district, and had everything we needed. We truly appreciated the owners' responsiveness and kindness.

Everything was great in the house. Fully stocked kitchen. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms and especially with 8 ladies, girls weekend. The house inside was a while lot bigger than looking at it from the outside. One thing, this house, has is a flight of stairs going from the main entry up to the kitchen area. Once in the kitching/dining area it is pretty cozy.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
we were both born and raised in Missouri. We love the charm and history of small towns! We love to travel and make lasting memories ourselves! And we love family!
We worked hard to put that all together into a space that we would love to stay at and visit ourselves.
We are family owned and operated with an emphasis on quality customer Service.
We want our guests to feel welcome and at home at the Wild Rose Cottage!

Why they chose this property

Historic Old St. Charles makes you feel like you've stepped back into yesteryear. We love the imperfect cobbled streets, friendly shops, and wonderful restaurants. We love that there are tons of fun things to do and see and that coffee and ice cream are only steps away every single day of the week.

What makes this property unique

We designed and named this property with Doug's mom, Linda Kay, in mind. She was an amazing hostess and country girl who grew the most amazing flowers, especially roses! This house has a beautiful blend of new and vintage, comfort and glam, because that perfectly reflects her and is the style that brought her joy. Linda moved to heaven in 2022 after a courageous battle with cancer. We miss her and love to honor her amazing life and memory.

This house has something for everyone! From the littles to the greats...

There is plenty of space to gather and make epic memories and plenty of space to have your own quiet space.

Our Guests really love this house and many return year after year and call it "their vacation house." and that is the best compliment that we could ever get.
