Great Location / Close to St Louis

We are a family of 5 with a small dog. We found this house and it was perfect! The location was great as we were able to walk to Historic Main Street or in the opposite direction to Raising Cane’s. We felt very safe in the neighborhood. We wanted to visit the arch and city museum and each destination was about 30 minutes away. Super easy drive to the city. Rachel was super easy to reach and responded very quickly! We had a tv mishap and she responded within moments of texting her & the issue was resolved quickly!Also, I was impressed with the hot water! I love my hot showers in the morning and with 5 people—there was still enough hot water to go around!The exposed brick walls and high ceilings just added to the charm of the house.

Great for our family get together

Our family stayed here for a short visit with our st. Louis relatives. Rachel is amazing! My mother resides in the nursing home facility next door. I want sure if the door would be wide enough for her wheelchair to fit. Rachel went out of her way to measure the door opening. It was perfect!

Perfect stay!

I chose this property for the location, but would go back for the comfort and coziness of the home. The house included everything you could need in the kitchen and bathroom and made the trip very easy. It was very clean and very well organized. The offstreet parking was a plus. Highly recommend, Especially if you want something close to the Lindenwood campus and the downtown area.

About the host

Hosted by Rachel Hirth

Host profile image
I have lived in St. Charles and St. Louis my entire life - I love the small town feel of Saint Charles and I love how close we are to the wonderful city of St. Louis - the history in both areas is amazing and beautiful! I love traveling more than anything and I love to be able to provide a home away from home for those that have the same love of travel!

Why they chose this property

This house is cozy and historic - being built in 1860 - and still has all the amenities you could ask for when traveling and not wanting to be in a hotel! The 10 foot ceilings and exposed brick are just a few areas of charm within the walls.

What makes this property unique

Walking distance to Main Street and close to Highway 70, which makes a short drive to Downtown St. Louis.
