The fire's already going.

    Four spacious, family-ready homes across St. Charles and St. Louis. Cleaned, stocked, and waiting for the trips that matter. Weddings, reunions, holidays, long-overdue visits.

    You're planning this trip for everyone. We planned this home for you.

    If you're the one organizing, the flights, the schedule, the group text. The house is the one decision that affects everybody. It needs to be clean. It needs room for all of you. And it needs to just work, so you're not troubleshooting a lockbox at 10pm with a car full of tired kids.

    That's the whole idea behind Fireside. Every home is set up before you arrive: beds made, kitchen stocked, door code in your pocket. All that's left is to get everyone in one place, and pull up a chair.

    Four homes. One standard.

    What “ready” means to us.

    01

    Actually clean

    Professionally cleaned and inspected before every single stay. If it wouldn't pass with your mother-in-law, it doesn't pass with us.

    02

    Room to be together — and apart.

    Multiple hangout spaces in every home, so the early risers, the nappers, and the game-night crowd all get their spot.

    03

    Stocked like you live here

    Full kitchens with real cookware, coffee ready to brew, extra linens and towels. Pack less. Forget things. It's fine.

    04

    A real person on the other end

    Questions before you book or during your stay get answered by us, the people who own and care for these homes, not a call center.

    Book direct. It's better for both of us.

    Booking here means no platform service fees, our best available rates, and a direct line to us before, during, and after your stay. Same homes you'll find on Airbnb and VRBO, without the middleman.

    The part we can't write ourselves.

    One of the cleanest and well stocked airbnb we've stayed in. My family loved all the amenities, especially the basement for my kids. We went to Frankie Martin's Garden by recommendation of the host and it was such a fun vibe just 8 minutes down the road.

    Mark

    The place was very inviting upon entering and was well taken care of. Our kids enjoyed the different amenities, toys, arcade, hot tub, and kept them busy between visits to St. Louis. Everything was within a close drive which was a positive when short on time. We would definitely recommend Scott's place and would stay again in the future.

    Matt

    Host communicates well, attentive to messages, overall a very nice stay. Comfortable and clean. Will definitely come back.

    Danielle

    Come for the occasion. Stay for St. Louis.

    Historic Main Street St. Charles and its riverfront. Free world-class attractions in Forest Park. Wineries, ballgames, toasted ravioli, and the Arch. Whichever home you choose, every property page has our local guide to the food and things to do nearby, the places we'd actually send our own families.
