Trade the cramped hotel room for 1.2 manicured, private acres of your own. Part of the Mercer Stays collection of experiential homes in St. Charles, The Chalet is a cozy 2-bedroom set on rare space and seclusion you simply won`t find at a hotel — room to spread out, a hot tub lounge under open sky, and the kind of quiet that makes it easy to slow down and reconnect. Whether you`re celebrating an anniversary, planning a quiet weekend, or just craving real privacy and space, this home was made to help two people (or a small group) breathe and be present.

Mercer Stays exists for one reason: to create spaces that naturally pull people back together. Experiential stays for your family.

🌳 Your own private 1.2 acres

This is the heart of The Chalet: 1.2 manicured, private acres in a prime St. Charles location. Stroll your own grounds, sip morning coffee on the porch, and unwind in the evening with nothing but open sky overhead. Rare space, real seclusion, and a setting that feels a world away while staying minutes from everything.
