Everything was perfect
I stayed here for my wedding weekend with several other couples and it was perfect. Karen and Dave were very accommodating and made sure we had the best weekend. The rooms were very clean and it was also the perfect location. You are a few minute walk from downtown St.Charles and all of the restaurants and bars. I would definitely stay here again.

Girls Weekend
We had a wonderful stay at the Fox Den! All of our questions were answered within a few minutes. The property was very clean and modern. We loved relaxing on the front deck with a river view. The location is so convenient with bars, restaurants, and shops within walking distance. We used the bikes in the garage to bike the Fox River Trail. We highly recommend this property and can’t wait to visit again!
