Historic headquarters of city founder! Gated parking!

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!

Charming Historic Home

We loved our recent stay in Lynn's charming historic home. The location was very convenient to restaurants, bars and shops and also easy access to Interstate 70 and 370. 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.

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!

Weekend Getaway

This is such a cool little place! Absolutely best location for shopping Main St. Lynn’s place is very clean and well decorated. Although it’s right on Main St it is a very quiet location. Parking is so convenient with its own private parking in back of the property. We will absolutely be staying here again.
