Lindenwood University is just a few blocks away and just 8 miles from St. Louis Lambert Airport. Classic Main Street St. Charles is a photographers dream with picturesque backdrops at every corner. Just across the highway you can visit the upscale "Streets of St. Charles" for more shopping and dining, a movie theatre and casino.

Hidden gem.

We loved the location, when we arrived it wasn’t what we expected from the street, however upon entry we smelled cleanliness, simple but nice amenities and decor. Beds were comfortable and we had a great stay!

Beautiful property!

The cottage is as pretty as you see in the pictures! Everything was clean and organized. Check in, and communication with the owner, was easy and efficient. The location is perfect. So much to see and do, either by walking or an easy drive into the city. Highly recommend!

Cardinal’s Nest

I could not have made a better choice for a place to stay in St. Charles. The property was clean and arranged to make the stay homey and comfortable. The location on Main Street was perfect for walking proximity to the historic area, This was my first experience with VRBO; I was very pleased.

Great little getaway!

This is a great little house if you want to get away and explore what’s around St. Charles and St. Louis. Just a block from the downtown St. Charles district where they have a ton of cute shops and restaurants. Very convenient location. House was super cute, clean, and very comfortable. It is up on a hill with stairs to get to it so if you have orthopedic issues probably it the best spot. We took our dogs and there was a small yard for them to go but the grass was pretty tall. A great spot overall!! Will come back again!

2023 HOG Rally

The property was well equipped inside 100¾tter than any hotel could ever offer. The location was in walking distance to many wonderful restaurants ,bars and shops. I recommend visiting the area. Only improvements I would suggest are changing the shower curtain as it had mold on the bottom, cleaning the ac vents/registers in the house, cut the grass and touch of the walls with fresh paint.

Sweet little home away from home

This was a great get away stay for me and my father. The locations was perfect and the place was clean and inviting. Although it sleeps 4, I feel like 4 adults would be cramped. The living room wound not seat 4 comfortably, but for the two of us it was perfect. I’d definitely stay here again.
