Built in 1926 in the heart of Historic St. Charles, The Benton House was renovated with a modern, yet spunky, twist. It's conveniently located steps from Main Street shopping/restaurants/nightlife, and the St. Charles Convention Center! The Benton House is pet-friendly, also perfect for families with kids, couples, friends, business travel, bridal, bachelorette or bachelor's. New meets old at The Benton House - enjoy the charm of Historic Old Town, with a modern twist. :) The master bedroom is the entire second floor loft, with the kitchen, bathroom and second bedroom located on the main level, and laundry in the basement. With your own private parking and entrance available, deck, equipped kitchen, fenced-in backyard, bathroom and laundry on-site, we have all of your needs covered! The entire Benton House is yours! Feel free to hang out in the backyard or on the deck on sunny days or warm summer nights, or take a short walk over to Historic Main Street. You'll find shopping, coffee, restaurants, and nightlife within walking and biking distance, and there is plenty of free parking throughout the area! I am happy to answer any questions, however small, and provide recommendations for places to go and things to do! For day-to-day matters, I am available 24/7 to handle any issue that may require immediate attention. Founded in 1769, St. Charles was the first state capital of Missouri.

If you cannot travel with you bike, The Bike Stop Cafe down the street has bike rentals, plus you can enjoy a delicious lunch (great vegan and non-vegan options!). There are plenty of sidewalks, and access to the Katy Trail is close by. While walking and biking is fun, this is Missouri, and we have experienced all four seasons in one day before! If it is chilly or wet there is plenty of free parking along and around Main Street, and lots facing the riverwalk. We also have Uber and Lyft available in the area, and lots of drivers (you can typically get a ride in under 10 minutes). COVID-19 Spacial note***** Please be aware safety and cleanliness are our top priority during these trying times. We would like you to know all of the steps we take to ensure cleanliness. First we have minimized the amount of touchable items in the house. Allowing everything in the house to be easily disinfected that anyone may touch. We have waterproof- breathable pillow cases on every pillow, as well as mattresses. All bedding is cleaned after each stay. Windows are open with fresh air flowing into the house while its deeply cleaned for 2-3 hours. We go above and beyond when it comes to cleaning, please let me know if you have any questions pertaining to this topic. I will be more then happy to go over any concerns you may have. Hope to host you soon! -Sammone
