Great place to stay near St. Charles/Geneva. Will definitely stay again next time we visit. Plenty of room, great view, super easy access to west suburbs, North Ave./Randal Rd,/25/31, but tucked away from the hustle and bustle etc. Host was great, respected our privacy. Super hot shower!
Right on the Fox River.
Plenty of space for a large family. Lots of Knick-knacks so best suited for ages 7+.
Quiet street, very little traffic.
