"St Geneva" Private With River View! 7 minutes to the QCenter

Welcome to "St. Geneva"! I call it that because of the home's ideal location between 2 gorgeous and quaint towns-St. Charles and Geneva.

Between the two towns there's plenty of shopping and night life to be had. The home is located along The Fox River. Just cross the street you can access miles of biking/walking trails. Feel free to take 2 kayaks over to the launch just a couple blocks away. Walk to the farmer’s market for fresh food to prepare in the fully equipped kitchen.

I'm currently occupying the upstairs unit, so the common areas are the screen room, utility room (washer and dryer), patio with tables and chairs, and a grill. For chilly weather there is a gas operated fire pit. Sit around the fire on a cool night with your favorite beverage for a chat or roast marshmallows without smelling like a forest fire! Please give notice when you want to use the grill, fire pit, kayaks, and fishing poles. There is Netflix, Amazon, PS3, DVD player and WiFi access. I have plenty of apps for other streaming platforms that you may sign in with your credentials. In addition, there are good old fashioned cards and board games. Games and toys for children also. Take advantage of the spacious yard for lawn games, which are also provided.

The neighborhood is mature with lots of large trees and beautiful parks. At the back is the Fox River with a street between the house and river and just to the south is a park that at one time was a Civil War training camp. Just across the river is Mt. St Mary Park with tress and a walking trail. Great for cleansing morning walks. The park also contains a basketball court, tennis court, skateboard park, pavilion, and children's playground. The neighbor to my north is very quiet.

Shopping and dining are awesome both in Geneva and St. Charles. Fests and fairs are a large part of both towns.

Some of Arcada Theatre general acts include: tribute bands, comedians, oldies bands, and murder mystery dinners. Particular artists include: America, Dokken, Herman’s Hermits, The Guess Who, Jon Anderson.

For a different turn on live local theatre, the small yet charming Steel Beam Theatre in St Charles is a must.

The Paramount Theatre, located in Aurora and just 30 minutes away, hosts broadway style musicals and plays.

10 minutes from Lamplight Equestrian Center. 7 minutes from The Q Center. If you want to visit Chicago, there is a train station in Geneva that will get you there.


Guests will be given an entry code 1-3 days before check in which will allow them access to the screen room to their secure door where there will be a key for the deadbolt. Most often I will be around to greet guests when they first arrive. If I’m not able to be there I will definitely inform my guests.

**** When booking, please let me know what brings you to the area and who will be staying with you in the house. Please be sure to register the correct number of guests so there will be no surprises once you are here. Extra guests will still be charged according to my rates even after check in. It’s better to be open and honest up front. All those traveling with you as well as those you entertain at the house will need to be informed of and be in agreement with the house rules. Please put any furniture, plates and utensils back in the original location before checking out****

Some guests have made mention of bothersome road noise. There are fans located in the closets which can be used as white noise. Ear plugs available upon request.

Short but sweet
We were very comfortable at Michael’s place and it was decorated very well. The house was very clean and the air conditioning in each room was a huge help for being there in August! Right by the river so it had a nice view while having breakfast in the morning. Michael was a great host that provided tons of information and even snacks. Thanks so much!

Great Getaway Space
We were very impressed with how nice and comfortable “St. Geneva” is. It is in a great location-plenty of restaurants and parks within walking distance. It also felt very safe. The house was clean and Michael provided some snacks,water, and coffee for us! It was in the 90s outside, but we were extremely comfortable with the a/c units. Eating, shopping, and relaxing were the priorities for our trip, and this property and its location made it easy to accomplish! I would highly recommend this house for anyone wanting to visit the Fox Valley area.

Outstanding VRBO experience
We came from 3 states for a longtime friends gathering. The attention to detail and amenities at the house were outstanding. Location super for walking into St. Charles or Geneva. And we simply enjoyed visiting in the comfortable living area. The host couldn't have been more responsive. Definitely set the bar high for future VRBO stays.

Michael is the perfect host! Friendly and available if anything is needed! The attention to detail in every aspect is foremost! We chose St. Geneva for our Sister in law getaway! Michael greeted me and gave a tour of his cute VRBO! It is spotless and fully stocked with everything you will need! We visited just after Thanksgiving, so it was decorated for Christmas and was beautiful! The location is perfectly situated between Geneva and St Charles! Across the street is the Fox River and a trail that connects you to both cities! I highly recommend St Geneva!

40th Wedding Anniversary trip
My husband and I along with my sister stayed at Michael's house over a long weekend as my Son and his family in Batavia were hosting my daughter's family of 5 at their house. Michael was a gracious host who met us at the house to provide us with a tour. He was very thoughtful by providing my husband and I with a bottle of champagne 🍾 for our 40th anniversary as well as snacks and yummy banana bread from Harners. We enjoyed sitting outside in the morning and watching the bikers, walkers, fishermen and the occasional kayaker. The property is beautiful and in a good location for us. Thanks again Michael!

Mother Daughter Trip to remember 💗
What a perfect place to connect with family. This lovely and well appointed apartment was the truly the best part of our trip. We spent our mornings and evenings relaxing and chatting in the living room in front of the impressive window view of the river. Our days were spent exploring Geneva and St Charles many offerings. Michael is the perfect host who is knowledgeable and accessible but never intrusive. We look forward to returning.
