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!

Great Spot
Very impressed with this property. Cozy house, great location, and everything we needed. It was the perfect place to get away to and we can’t wait to come back someday. Highly recommend this property for anybody planning on staying in St. Charles. Literally just steps away from the strip and all the nice shops and bakeries. Thank you to the owners who clearly care and do a wonderful job running a great place.

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!!

Beautiful couples getaway!
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!

Charming
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!

Romantic getaway
When you see the cottage from the outside, you have no idea of the luxurious feel that waits inside. The bathroom alone, with its jetted tub and double headed shower, is a delight that we luxuriated in every day of our stay. Add the full kitchen and just plan to "live" there.

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.

Luxurious cottage
We enjoyed our stay at the Lewis and Clark guest house and wished we had time for more nights. The bathroom especially was great to use, the jetted tub and the wonderful shower. The kitchen was so well equipped, with a large fridge and a coffemaker that would do lattes and cappuchinos. I would note that the steps to the property are old stone ones, and we would have been challenged by them, except there was a very sturdy handrail to hold onto. That said, it is necessary to haul your bags up, so small bags are best. We would stay here again, as long as we can climb stairs!
