St. Charles on the Fox

We stayed for two weeks over the holidays visiting family nearby. Home was great. Very clean and owners were very responsive to any questions we had. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was large and clean. We could occasionally hear people in the unit below at night, but not enough to keep us awake. Overall, the place was great and I'd rent it again.
