Photos and Description of the St. Charles vacation house rental
Roomy Second Empire French style 3 bed, 2 bath in quiet Historic District

L'auberge ('the inn') St. Charles, circa 1868 Second Empire French home contributing to the National Register Historic Frenchtown District. Recently underwent a complete restoration saving original doors, wavy glass transom windows and beautiful woodwork while adding a full gourmet kitchen, beautiful bathrooms and high end furnishings. You get the best of both worlds; the quaintness of a bed and breakfast with the comfort and privacy of a fully furnished home. Located in the quiet, Frenchtown District of old town St. Charles, yet still within walking distance of all the shops, restaurantss, historic sites and festivities of Main Street, Steel Shop Indoor Tennis Club, Missouri Riverfront and Katy Trail and just 8 miles to St. Louis Lambert Airport and only twenty minutes to St. Louis and a scenic 40 min. drive to many of Missouri's award winning wineries. Come see why picturesque St. Charles is nicknamed 'the Williamsburg of the Midwest'

This home includes secure off street parking, outdoor grilling area and comfortably furnished covered porch area. Inside, the main floor has a large living room with large flatscreen TV, game table and desk: full bathroom with tub/shower; large dining room that seats six; and the kitchen has cherry cabinets, stone countertops, gas range with warming drawer, dishwasher, Keurig coffeemake and more.

Upstairs are three bedrooms; The King bedroom has a hand painted Missouri River scene headboard, reading area with chaise lounge, candle fireplace and flat-screen TV with DVD player. The queen bed room also has a reading dormer and TV with DVD player. The equally beautiful, albeit smaller, Full bed room has an antique brass bed. All have ultra comfortable cool gel foam mattresses, luxury linens and hardwood floors with access to the large bath with antique claw-foot tub.

About Ed Akers

Interior designer and sales manager during the week and historic property restorers on the weekends, the guest house is our sixth project in St. Charles, this is our only guest house in St. Charles. We do, however have another guest property in Panama City Beach, Florida (see #125313). We live one block away, so we're usually 'on site' managers to assure a wonderful stay.

Ed Akers purchased this house in 2010
Why Ed Akers chose St. Charles

We bought this property in our continued effort to restore and improve our historic neighborhood. It took over a year to complete the rehab and all of the approvals that St. Charles required to open the first guest house in historic Frenchtown.

A great place to stay

5 of 5
Submitted: May 9, 2013 Stayed: May 2013
We stayed on May 2, 3 and 4th 2013. This place is great for a couple or a small group. This should be your first choice in St. Charles. The owners did a wonderful job. L'auberge is relaxing and near everything. Make sure to eat at Magpies in St. Charles.. Also get that GPS out and find one of the two Ted Drew’s Locations. Ben and Jerry WHO???
We had four adults and room for two more. The Katy trail is one block away. It was wonderful to spend a few days in a home from 1868. The many modern touches made it great. We enjoyed setting out on the comfortable covered back porch. We had several rainy days so it was nice to relax outside and stay dry. The owner Ed was very nice and checked in with us to make sure all was well. We will plan staying at L'auberge for our next trip to St. Charles. We drove 25 miles out to Montelle Winery and had a great time. .
If you are planning a get-away to St. Charles be sure and book this VRBO. Thanks Ed for making this property available.

Amazing and Charming Historical Home!

5 of 5
Submitted: May 5, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
A gem of a house! My husband and I stayed at this beautifully appointed historical home with our daughter, son-in-law and two grandsons (ages 2 & 4). The listing description and photos accurately reflected the home's appearance and amenities, which included trail bikes and a new bbq grill. The property has been completely remodeled and updated. We found it to be clean, well-maintained, comfortable and beautifully decorated. The home has ample room to host an afternoon bbq with family and friends which we did, and the side yard was great for the little ones. The home is conveniently located to historic St. Charles and all its restaurants and antique shops, and not far from St. Louis attractions including the St. Louis Zoo, the Arch and Forest Park. Grocery stores and other retail also are close by. Ed was friendly and great in answering all of our questions. We had a great family vacation and we HIGHLY RECOMMEND renting L'Uaberge. We look forward to staying here again!

We used it for a ladies getaway. It was close to everything, Main St in St Charles and a short drive to St Louis. The home is adorable and felt like home. The rooms are all large and comfortable. The welcome basket and the coffee were an excellent touch. We loved the house. The only problem we had was getting an internet connection. I will be staying there again and I have let others know about it.

Owner's Response: We enjoyed having you! As we continue to develop L'auberge St. Charles, we have just added an outside dining table and chairs and a second internet connection that is higher speed and secured. We look forward to hosting you and your friends again! Chris & Ed

Wow! Truly lovely.

5 of 5
Submitted: December 28, 2012 Stayed: December 2012
L'Auberge truly deserves the accolades received above. Four family members (three adults and one teen) stayed here for Christmas week, and the home exceeded our expectations in every way. The tasteful decor combines the best of old (historic character) and new (extremely comfortable beds, cushy towels, "vintage" fixtures that work like new). The space was restful, conveniently located and just truly lovely. Ed and Chris were accessible, and communication was excellent. We also took advantage of the proximity to historic Main Street (walking distance) and enjoyed that too. We hope to return soon!

Beautiful!!!

This review is long overdue... We had the pleasure of staying at L'auberge early last month. Our whole family was getting together to celebrate our mom and to celebrate her milestone with some health issues. I needed to find a nice place for the 6 (1/2) in my own family to stay, without breaking the bank. We were absolutely overwhelmed and incredibly pleased with how wonderful this property was!!! It was more than big enough for all of us and provided a nice place to return each night after the hustle and bustle of the family get-togethers. The attention to detail and all the little extras made us feel as though we were staying at a 5 star resort!!! We would not hesitate to return again!! Thank you Ed and Chris!!!
