Charming Cottage on Main St. in Historic St. Charles! Jetted Tub, 2 Fireplaces!!

'The Main Street Guest House' is a charming vacation rental home located right in the center of Historic Main Street in St. Charles, Missouri, the site of Missouri's first state capitol and starting point of the famous Lewis and Clark expedition. Located at #422 S. Main Street, this family friendly home has 3 newly remodeled levels, with a total of 6 beds (2 king, 4 twin), sleeping 8 people, as well as a luxurious master suite on the lower level that is perfect for couples.
The main floor of the house that walks directly out on to Main Street, has an open floor plan with comfortable living room with a large gas fireplace to snuggle up to, large flat screen TV with DVD player, full kitchen with high end cabinetry, refrigerator, stove/oven, microwave, dishwasher, and plenty of seating for meals with a great view out to the Missouri River. Huge rough sawn walnut support beams decorate the ceiling.
The 2nd floor bedroom suite, with 12' vaulted ceilings and large walnut support beams, sleeps 6 people. There is a large dormer overlooking Frontier Park, the old Train Depot and cabooses, and a beautiful view of the Missouri River flowing north that includes the custom built in king bed. Across the room there are 4 individual twin beds (2 sets of custom bunks) that allow for everyone to have their own comfy bed. Every bed comes with their own private lighting to make guests feel as comfortable as possible. There is also a giant flat screen clearly viewed from every bed for all to enjoy a movie night or game night on the Nintendo Wii. Also on this level is a full bathroom including a tiled walk in shower with dual shower-valves, and a sitting area with mirror for extra space to get ready, and the dormer on the front by the vanity overlooks the cobblestoned streets of Main.
The lower level includes the private master suite with a king bed, another flat screen TV, and full master bath including a large walk in tiled shower with two shower valves. Enjoy a huge Jacuzzi whirlpool tub heated with 136 gallon water capacity with Shiatzu massaging jets, and Chroma therapy lighted water. Two large fireplaces are also includes in the master suite. One fireplace is located next to the king bed and another in the master bathroom completely viewable from both the large walk in shower and whirlpool tub to add to your experience. Also on the lower level in a separate room, is a full laundry area for our guest to use.
The historic home has been 100% completely remodeled in 2013 and designed entirely with vacation renters in mind. All modern amenities are included such as two 80 gallon hot water heaters so you never run out of hot water, two separate heating and cooling systems so separate floors can control desired temperatures, cable TV, Wifi, Keurig coffee maker, and so much more. The location is excellent. Walk out your front door directly onto the cobblestone sidewalk along the one of the largest historic districts on the national registry. Countless shopping and dining options await you, all within walking distance (less than a half mile in either direction). The best part, most are unique businesses that you won't find anywhere else, like Braddens restaurant, Lewis and Clark restaurant, Winery of the Little Hills (great outdoor seating with fire pits located right across the street),The Mother-in-Law House restaurant 98ft away, The Hobbit Hole Antiques, Moss next door for some of the latest fashion, Trailhead Brewery, Grandmas Cookies a few doors down, Kat and Me, and countless others. A personal favorite with our family of four small of children is Riverside Sweets located only two doors down where visitors of all ages can enjoy some of the best ice cream, homemade candy and fudge, caramel apples, and walls of candy and collectibles to choose from. A few blocks north, Picasso's offers a great cup of coffee and some live music at times. Grab breakfast at The Bikestop Cafe and rent a bike for a peaceful ride on The Katy Trail just a few hundred feet from the home. Ameristar Casino is also located within a mile of the home just outside the Historic area for those looking for a little nightlife. Two major malls, Mid-Rivers Mall, and St. Louis Premium Outlet Mall, are located 10 minutes in either direction. Located on the other side of highway 70, The St. Charles Convention Center and Family Arena are located about five minutes from the guest house. A short 25 minute drive will get you to most St. Louis Attractions such as The Arch, The St. Louis Zoo, The Magic House, The City Museum, The Art Museum, Grants Farm, Busch Stadium, The Fox Theatre, The Peabody, The Art Museum, and so many other fun things to do and see. Spend the day seeing the sights of St. Louis and then head back to family friendly St. Charles, walk to dinner, and kick back and relax and visit with your loved ones at night. The home is located approximately 10-15 minutes from St. Louis Lambert Airport, with plenty of public and private transportation available. St. Peters Catholic church is just a short 1/4 mile stroll away, as well as the Main Street Church on North Main. SSM St. Joseph Health Center is also located within 1/4 mile for those needing a place to stay while visiting loved ones, or if health issues arise. With many fantastic festivities on Main Street and in Frontier Park for year round interest for all ages, there's always something new to experience when you stay at the Main Street Guest House!

THE location in St. Charles
We had never visited Saint Charles before and didn’t realize what a boon this location would be. While others were walking up and down the street looking for their cars, we were able to walk out our front door to all the shopping and dining we could handle. No need to drive anywhere. Communication with the host was easy. We will be back.

Loved the location!
Can’t say enough good things about the great location of this property! It was great to walk out the door and have plenty of walkable food options and small shops to explore. The accommodations were also outstanding and very comfortable for the four adults in our group. The house was well stocked with more than we needed for our stay. We would highly recommend staying here!

An excellent renovation on a centuries old house right in the midst of charming St. Charles. One can tell that there was a lot of love, skill and sweat, that was put into bringing this historic house back to life. It has made a positive impact on the footprint of St. Charles.

So many wonderful things I can say about this property. The location is better than ANY other option in Saint Charles, located right in the center of the downtown. The house was bigger than it looks in the picture with plenty of space to spread out. Everything was so clean, the beds were so comfortable, the showers were great, and there were snacks and water available for us to take with on a few days trips which was so appreciated. There was a small issue with the lock on the house (the only issue) but it was resolved immediately. Definitely recommend staying here if you want to spend a day or two visiting St.Louis.. It was only 25 minutes away and much more relaxing to end the day in this cozy town. Would definitely go back!

Perfect place in Saint Charles
This property was absolutely perfect for myself and two kiddos. It was in a great location for strolling the cobblestone street and exploring the quant shops and restaurants, and only a 25 minute drive into the city. There were snacks, coffee pods, and everything we needed for a comfy stay, as well as fun bunk beds, games and toys for the kids. The host was very responsive and helped us get into the house very quickly when we had trouble with the door. We will definitely return to this property!
