The house is clean and excellently furnished and equipped with all of the comforts of home. The location is amazing! So close to wonderful dining and shopping options. Our host was so helpful, too! Would definitely recommend this property!
We had a wonderful stay! Beautiful home and extremely clean. Close location to both downtown St. Charles and Geneva shopping and restaurants. The host was very friendly and helpful with suggestions and the check in/check out process was beyond easy. Would recommend 100% and hope to be back again someday!
We had a great experience at this property. The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and equipped with all the amenities we needed. The location was perfect, close to local attractions and great dining options. The host was very responsive and provided excellent recommendations for things to do in the area. We felt right at home!
Absolutely perfect in every way! Location, amenities, cleanliness and personality. Backyard patio space a plus.
Definitely plan to return in the future.
We enjoyed our stay at the Fox Valley Farmhouse. The home was clean, beautifully decorated, and had an inviting energy. Stephanie was an amazing host! Communication was top notch. Thank you for putting the welcome mat out for our group! We will be back.
The pictures don’t do the property justice. Lacked nothing. Accessible to downtown St. Charles and 8 minutes from Walmart. The owner is very nice, available and eager to make restaurant suggestions. Everyone enjoyed the weekend!
We rented the house for my son’s wedding in St Charles, bedrooms and bathrooms were great. Kitchen was well stocked and basement was a great place for the groomsman to get ready for the wedding. The wood floors do creek if you are in the basement. Road noise is also an issue, and very Limited view of the river.
This is a very recently updated house and is in great shape with nice furniture, hang-out space and new appliances. You have really easy access to both downtown St. Charles and Geneva. The Fox River bike path/ trail is right across highway 25 and there is a trail head right there. We rented bikes from Mill Race Cyclery end enjoyed the ride along the river to Batavia and back. Both Geneva and St. Charles have nice downtown areas with shops, restaurants, bars and bridges to cross to see the river.
Our group included two married couples and two adult children. The six of us easily fit in the 3 BR set up. There is a nice little patio outside that is nice place to relax.
We want to give a lot of credit to the owner, Stephanie, for her responsiveness. We had an unexpected maintenance issue. This is a house after all and just like any home, sometimes things have to be dealt with. Stephanie immediately jumped on it and got the situation resolved very quickly on a weekend. She was very communicative through the process.
We would definitely stay at this property again when we are in the area!
We were in town for a family wedding the same weekend as a dance/cheer competition. Since it was a small wedding, no hotel blocks had been set aside, and by the time I got around to booking, they were either full or super expensive. Then I found this place, and it was better than a hotel! We had three couples, so the three bedrooms and three bathrooms were ideal. The house was immaculate and well stocked with everything we needed. Every surface is new, and we loved the open kitchen and living room. The location was close to downtown Geneva where the venue was. It's across the street from the river and a walking path, which we took advantage of. Though the street is busy, we heard no noise from the inside. Communication was smooth and easy and check-out was a breeze. We chose this because it was a ranch-style home, and we had our elderly parents with us. There were three steps from the driveway to the house that we had to help them navigate, but they are mobile enough to do that with a hand. The walk-in shower curb was low enough for them to manage. They both really appreciated the shower chair. Thank you for the great stay. We really enjoyed it!
We were able to walk to the fireworks and loved our proximity to our family events in Geneva, st Charles and Batavia. We will likely return for the next family reunion.
We were in town for our son's wedding. This house was the perfect spot for us, our adult children and grandbaby. Plenty of room for the family. Perfect location with walking path along the river and very close to everything.
Excellent communication with owner. A beautful, clean and comfortable home. Every detail one could need was readily available. Having the use of a laundry machine and dryer was key to staying here while we showed the week at the local equestrian facility. Great home!!!
From check in through check out, Stephanie provided an easy and pleasurable experience. This beautiful home is flawlessly appointed and every detail considered for an extremely comfortable stay. We have already booked 2 returns. Pictures are exactly as they appear.
This home was fantastic. The host thought of everything and was great with communication. Ours was a girls weekend & this home was perfect for 8 of us.
