Legends & Lanterns
Close walk to Main Street and still far enough from the hustle and bustle and noises. The hill coming back up from Main Street is treacherous with a wagon and kiddos, but that’s a small price to pay for the convenience of a quiet neighborhood. While I understand it’s the price you pay for convenience and the luxury of a home, I don’t think would pay as much as I did for a two night stay unless I had a second couple to split the price with to make it more affordable.

Perfect for family and friends
We enjoyed our stay at the Lion House! The hosts are amazing! It was a great location, close to the airport, and an easy walk to downtown St. Charles. We also walked to Lindenwood U. one day, a little further but still doable. We enjoyed exploring the St. Charles and Frenchtown areas and the Katy Trail. The house was well appointed with many amenities, it was spotless on arrival and as described! We enjoyed morning coffee and evening conversations in the covered sitting area out back. Having two bathrooms was ideal for 4. We highly recommend the Lion House!

Great Location
The Lions House is in walking distance from the downtown Riverwalk. We ate dinner at quaint restaurants, drank coffee at an outside patio coffee shop and shopped at boutique shops. We even rented electric bikes and rode the Katy Trail for a couple of hours. After all of the fun we returned back to our home away from home that was equipped with everything we needed. It was the perfect mini vacation. I highly recommend this property!!!

Well-equipped, well-located house
Our family of three enjoyed our stay at the Lion House. The house is well-proportioned and comfortable. The kitchen is well-equipped, allowing us to prepare a dinner for several guests. The bedrooms are nice. Our daughter enjoyed the heated “bubble” in the back yard. The house is well-located, just a short walk from Main Street and with good access to the highway. The neighborhood is quiet, and parking is easy. Communication with the host was very good. We are looking forward to returning.

Wonderful time at Lion House
We had a wonderful stay at Lion House while visiting Saint Charles. The house is so adorable and very clean. While we didn’t take advantage of using the kitchen, it appeared to be well stocked. It is within walking distance of all our favorite shops and restaurants. The host gives very detailed instructions and recommendations. We would definitely stay here again!
