Historic brick cottage has its own granite monument on Main Street. Private gated parking, huge fenced front yard. A history buff’s dream! So many restaurants and shops, Frontier Park, parades, festivals and fun!

Very comfortable sleeping - queen bed in the bedroom and gel foam mattress on the sofa bed in the living room.

Parking is at a premium on Main Street, but you leave the car and walk everywhere, knowing your car is inside the gated area waiting for your return. There is room for four cars, or even an RV!

Check out the City’s website for all of the activities going on in the area. The holidays are especially fun with special events like ice carving contests, costumed characters, singing on the street corners, and Santa parades. Festival of the Little Hills, OktoberFest, and Fourth of July fireworks on the river are just a few of the things unique to the Historic District.

Some favorite restaurants on Main Street are Old Millstream, Magpie’s, Salt and Smoke, Llewelyn’s, and Novellus - and there are many, many more!

    Liz was a wonderful host. This a cute house with a wonderful history. The gated parking lot is a dream. Parking in Old Town is horrible. It is mostly on the street or in parking lots that you have to walk to and from. So you never know if you will be able to park close to the place you are staying. That is not a worry here!!! No one is parking in your spot but YOU!. Another thing, with all the bars with music we did not hear a thing!!! And Magpie's is right across the street and they have wonderful potato soup. If you are a people watcher you can sit in your own private yard with your favorite drink and watch people walk by.

    The only thing we didn't like was the commercial BBQ smoker next door which smelled quite strongly outdoors and even indoors to some extent. The house itself is very comfortable and convenient.

    The place was cozy and beautiful! The location was perfect. There were shops and restaurants practically outside our front door, so we didn’t need to drive anywhere. Also, you parked your car in the back of the house which had an electric gate to get in and out.The host was very friendly. She told us the history of the home and info St. Charles. We will definitely stay there again!

Lots of cute coffee shops, restaurants and local stores within yards of the front gate. It was like walking out of the back door and into a scene from a Hallmark movie. Will definitely stay here again!

    Stayed here for a fall getaway and to visit family. The fall weather was beautiful and trees were beginning to turn colors. The historic area had a few events happening called Pumpkin Glow and Legends and Lanterns festival. Both gave the fall getaway just the right Halloween atmosphere and our lodging was right spot where everything was in walking distance! The gated parking in the rear of the house made it easy to come and go without the worry of finding parking upon return. Nicely located and cozy, clean accommodations!

    We have walked by this little house for 40 years, and even had been inside the house when it was a shop. We were thrilled to see that the house was available as a VRBO! What a privilege to stay in this beautiful and historic home. The house was immaculately clean and comfortable. The antique furnishings and decor added to the ambiance. Lynn was a wonderful hostess. She greeted us and showed us the historic details of the home. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and will definitely be back. Thank you, Lynn!

Lynn is a very responsive host and her home was nicely appointed with interesting antiques and everything we needed for a great stay. We especially enjoyed the gated secure parking. Next time we need a St. Charles home we hope Lynn's home is available.

Host was very accommodating and quick to respond to questions. Clean, comfortable, well stocked kitchen, and unbeatable location. Charming property- there was even a whitetail bunny hopping around the front yard when I stepped out with my coffee in the morning! Will absolutely look to book this property for future visits. 10/10 highly recommended!

    This historic house has been lovingly restored with period artifacts and furnishings, and fully appointed with up-to-date appliances and facilities. Lynn is one of the most gracious and efficient hosts we've ever encountered, from greeting us in person on arrival to getting the cable company to promptly resolve a problem with its equipment. The location is ideal in the historic district. Especially if you visit during festivals or other busy times you will be grateful for the gated on-site parking!

    We were delighted with our stay here from the start. I booked this as a warmer, more intimate alternative to our usual holiday hotel accommodations and was instantly glad I did. The house was comfortable and quiet despite being in a vibrant, walkable neighborhood. The house was tastefully decorated (tree and all) for the season which added to our overall enjoyment of our stay. We were able to walk for coffee and meals and still had easy vehicular access when needed. Walking the silent, fully decorated Jacksonian era streets after dark was unforgettable. Lynn was wonderful to work with - attentive, accommodating, and efficient. This was my first VRBO experience and it set a great tone - we'll definitely be back!
