Perfect house for a weekend in St. Charles

Some friends and I stayed here for a weekend getaway. This house was perfect. It was within walking distance of many shops, restaurants, and bars. The house was spacious enough for all 6 of us to feel comfortable and not feel like we were on top of each other. The hot tub was also a great addition!

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.
