Great St Charles location

We rented the house for my son’s wedding in St Charles, bedrooms and bathrooms were great. Kitchen was well stocked and basement was a great place for the groomsman to get ready for the wedding. The wood floors do creek if you are in the basement. Road noise is also an issue, and very Limited view of the river.

Great house and location near the Fox River

This is a very recently updated house and is in great shape with nice furniture, hang-out space and new appliances. You have really easy access to both downtown St. Charles and Geneva. The Fox River bike path/ trail is right across highway 25 and there is a trail head right there. We rented bikes from Mill Race Cyclery end enjoyed the ride along the river to Batavia and back. Both Geneva and St. Charles have nice downtown areas with shops, restaurants, bars and bridges to cross to see the river. Our group included two married couples and two adult children. The six of us easily fit in the 3 BR set up. There is a nice little patio outside that is nice place to relax. We want to give a lot of credit to the owner, Stephanie, for her responsiveness. We had an unexpected maintenance issue. This is a house after all and just like any home, sometimes things have to be dealt with. Stephanie immediately jumped on it and got the situation resolved very quickly on a weekend. She was very communicative through the process. We would definitely stay at this property again when we are in the area!

Fantastic Place!

We were in town for a family wedding the same weekend as a dance/cheer competition. Since it was a small wedding, no hotel blocks had been set aside, and by the time I got around to booking, they were either full or super expensive. Then I found this place, and it was better than a hotel! We had three couples, so the three bedrooms and three bathrooms were ideal. The house was immaculate and well stocked with everything we needed. Every surface is new, and we loved the open kitchen and living room. The location was close to downtown Geneva where the venue was. It's across the street from the river and a walking path, which we took advantage of. Though the street is busy, we heard no noise from the inside. Communication was smooth and easy and check-out was a breeze. We chose this because it was a ranch-style home, and we had our elderly parents with us. There were three steps from the driveway to the house that we had to help them navigate, but they are mobile enough to do that with a hand. The walk-in shower curb was low enough for them to manage. They both really appreciated the shower chair. Thank you for the great stay. We really enjoyed it!
