The kitchen is equipped for a weekend getaway. No stove, but microwave. Utensils etc are fine.Beds are comfortable. Decor is great.All the books around were good. I wish I had had more time to spend with some of the books.Only issues for us were all the steps. It is steep on 3 floors. Great for anyone in great shape. Bit of a challenge for our ages. But we made it work. The surrounding buildings felt a little sketchy. Great location for Main Street St. Charles. We could easily walk to get to Main Street.

Great place near Main Street

The Guest House is an amazing place to stay. Its location is central to the shops and restaurants on Main St. You can walk to everything! The house itself was very clean and provided us everything we needed for our stay. The hosts were very responsive to an issue that honestly was our own fault. T they were great to work with. We have stayed here before and the back patio is a great addition. We will definitely stay here again.

Great b&b, awesome location

We were pleased to find this old, historical b&b very comfortable, clean, and pleasantly livable. The location couldn't have been better as we were able to walk to breakfast cafes, to shops, to the Missouri, to historical buildings, and to nice restaurants. Surrounded by ancient brick streets and buildings, we felt immersed in history. We would definitely go back!

Great location; charming home

This cottage beats a hotel any day of the week. There’s plenty of room, charming decor, and attention to details. Not to mention the proximity to everything old St. Charles has to offer. We’ve stayed here or at other cottages owned by the same company several times when visiting relatives in St. Louis and we’ll continue to do so.

Amarillo, Texas is now on the Guest House map! :)

Our family had a great time in this historic neighborhood. We thought not having a stove/oven might be problematic but it wasn't at all - there were so many places nearby to explore we didn't miss cooking for ourselves. There are steep steps - the rooms are on three floors - but our 3 and 5 year old were able to handle them just fine. Everything was clean and ready for us when we arrived. The location is great to get on the highway for downtown but be sure to save time to explore historic St Charles and Main Street. (check the times for things - lots are closed Mon/Tues) We enjoyed staying at The Guest House, had quick replies to any correspondence from our hosts and will definitely look in to this, and their additional properties, for future visits to St. Louis.

Very close to historic district. Restaurants and shopping all easy walking distance. The house was very clean and everything in good working condition. I appreciated the little extras that many vrbo do not provide.....like coffee pods, some snacks, plenty of toliet paper and mini shampoos and conditioners which came in handy as i forgot my shampoo.
