No Washer/Dryer onsite
A walkable laundromat is close-by if you need to wash anything
White noise
Our home is in an incredible central location, right in the heart of downtown St. Charles, just steps from the Arcada Theatre and a variety of fantastic restaurants. Being in such a vibrant area means you may hear some of the lively energy from the streets, especially on beautiful days. Also, typical of historic homes, the stairs sometimes have a bit of a creak. It adds to the charm, but to ensure a restful stay for our guests that might be light sleepers, we've provided white noise machines and a couple of box fans.
Guest house access
For guest privacy, one room is reserved as an office for the owners when not rented, and the unfinished basement is closed off for storage.
Please Note: This is a quiet neighborhood, and quiet hours are strictly enforced from 10 PM to 7 AM.
Only registered guests are allowed on the property. Absolutely NO parties are permitted.
