The Oak & Aura Retreat

Oak & Aura is a dog-friendly two-bedroom, one-bath apartment for up to four guests in Historic Downtown St. Charles. Warm oak accents, soft textures and light-filled interiors give the apartment its character, with Main Street restaurants, shops and nightlife close by.

Downtown noise
Main Street is an active dining and nightlife district. Music, voices, traffic and community events may be audible inside, including late at night, especially on weekends and event dates. Sound machines are provided, but they do not eliminate outside noise. Guests who need a quiet sleeping environment may prefer a quieter location. Sounds from neighboring apartments and common areas may also be heard.
