Luxurious couples retreat just steps from Historic Main Street in St. Charles!

The Lewis & Clark Guest House is a historic cottage that has been thoughtfully remodeled into a luxurious retreat while still keeping the feel of its colonial heritage- perfect for a romantic getaway or small group. This charming home was built in 1793 and once owned by the Commandant of St. Charles, Don Carlos Tayon. He lived here when Merriwether Lewis and William Clark arrived and met with him presumably in this house! The main entrance opens into a gorgeous master bedroom with king, 4 post bed, quality linens, and down comforter. From the bed you can view the large stone and brick hearth with gas flame stove, perfect for snuggling up on a chilly night. There is also two upholstered sitting chairs and a table for relaxing or reading and taking your morning coffee. A flat screen TV, and armoire are also included for your convenience.
A set of lovely double doors leads you into an amazingly luxurious and unique master bathroom. Stone steps lead you up to the oversized raised jetted tub with brick surround. Adjacent to that is the expansive tiled shower complete with two sets of shower systems including multiple rainfall shower heads and body sprayers. From the tub and the shower, you can see another fireplace set into a stone hearth and an additional flat screen tv above it. Also in the suite is a separate room with the toilet, an antique dresser made into the vanity, and large capacity washer/dryer behind two doors.
Off the back of the bedroom is a charming sitting room with a built in seating area with a twin mattress and numerous soft pillows for the ultimate comfort in lounging or extra sleeping space if needed. There is an additional tv in this room as well for viewing from your cozy retreat.
From there you can see into the adorable kitchen with white washed brick walls, and cabinets the same lovely dark grey green color that is carried throughout the home. Amply outfitted with high end appliances, this full kitchen make dining in a joy. Custom built in bench with antique table for eating, and a coffee bar complete with a Keurig coffee machine, frother, and variety of k-cups for your enjoyment.
Head outside with your morning coffee to the beautiful fully privacy-fenced backyard. The historic brick patio welcomes you with comfortable seating amd tiki torches. You sit out under the enormous tulip tree, and enjoy the evening, cuddling by the fires.
Of course, when you want to leave your spa-like oasis, Main Street and all the unique shops and fantastic eating establishments, Katy trail, parks and more are only steps away. You can spend many days exploring all it has to offer, and when you have done all that, we are a short half hour drive to downtown St. Louis and the never-ending attractions that await you there. We would love to have you stay with us at the Lewis & Clark Guest House!

Beautiful historic stay in Saint Charles
We stayed here for our wedding in Saint Charles. The atmosphere and overall condition of the house was truly a testament to the care the owners take in this property. The history of the house and area is unique. We enjoyed being close to a lot of things, yet secluded.

Perfect Place to Stay!!
This was one of the best rentals I’ve ever stayed at. The home is beautiful, cozy but roomy, extremely comfortable and well-equipped. The kitchen has everything you need and then some - and the coffee station in the corner, with the Keurig and the multiple pods and the milk further, is an amazing touch. Also, excellent communication from the owners and very easy check-in and out! The house is perfectly situated for exploring St. Charles, and the beautiful downtown/Main Street area as well as the riverwalk. I would definitely stay here again!! 10 out of 10!

We were in town to visit family so we didn’t get to spend much time in the house. However, the house is right off Main Street and within walking distance to shops, restaurants, and a park. The next time we come back to the area we will stay here again.

Mom's birthday weekend
Overall good stay! The pros: 1. LOCATION....Right off the main street, you can't get a better location than this! 2. The bathroom...the pictures just do not do it justice. The jacuzzi tub was very relaxing after a long day of walking. My mom really enjoyed the jacuzzi. However, the shower was the highlight for me! Best shower I have ever had in my life! 3. The little things...the hosts made our stay feel like home. They supplied us with everything we needed (toilet paper, paper towels, soap, laundry detergent, towels, robs, extra pillows and extra blankets). In the kitchen, much to our surprise we found bottled water, snacks, and coffee. The cons: 1. Street parking....normally this would not have been an issue. However, and probably bad planning on my part, we booking a night when a festival was happening. So, parking was crazy. The night of my moms birthday, we were limited to only restaurants in walking distance. If, we had left, we certainly would not have been able to find another place to park close by. 2. The light...while laying in bed a very noticeable light shines in the main bedroom area. This made sleeping for my mom difficult. 3. The noise...while laying in the other sleeping area (couch/day bed) a noticeable noise from the fridge made sleeping for me very difficult. So, while overall this was a very enjoyable stay and we both had alot of fun exploring the area, we both left very tired...

Perfect!
We enjoyed the guest house so much! It was cozy and had all amenities. It was also clean and nicely decorated. The location is perfect as it is right off Main street. I walked every morning and grabbed a coffee on the way back. This time of year is fabulous with the Fall decor on the store fronts and looked like it was straight off a Hallmark movie. Thank you for sharing your guest house!!

Lovely cottage with great location and amenities. ( Only issue for concern, front steps are rather steep and uneven. If you have mobility issues, be aware of steps.) After all, this is a historical area with lots of charm!

Good with a couple exceptions
Beautiful property, gorgeous interior. We asked to get in a little earlier, owner at 1pm said cleaner was there and if she finishes she would let us know. She did not. Hard yo believe it took cleaner 3 hours to do rooms. If you don’t want folks in early just say 4pm check in, no exceptions. No towel bars in bathroom, didn’t feel we should have to start washer and dishwasher. With service fee and cleaning fee felt that was a lot to ask guests. Four out of five rating

Amazing Little House
Our stay was absolutely wonderful in this little piece of history. Every aspect of this house was well thought out and catered perfectly for a relaxing get away. The house and the location to everything in downtown St. Charles was perfect. Only suggestion I would have is to put some small black out curtains or blinds on the window above the door because at about 6:20 am every day the morning sun shines in on the bed with vengeance. But other than that it was great.

This location was perfect for me and my husband! We loved how inviting this location is! You want to come in and take in every detail! Great location (walking distance) to Main St. Lots of shops, great food and drinks! Also a great location for ease to get to other places. We went to St Louis Arch, hit up Top Golf and Outlet Mall in Chesterfield and then had a relaxing dinner on the backyard grill! Owners were very easy to communicate with! We will definitely be staying in one of their locations again!
