DUE TO DEMAND - MUST READ: Starting August 31st, we`re adding a second master ensuite - king bed, private full bath - and expanding the game room by 500 sq ft to a full 900 sq ft of pure entertainment: pool, arcade, and a big screen.

This is the rare vacation home where the whole family — including the four-legged members — can truly relax. Part of the Mercer Stays collection of experiential homes in St. Charles, The Getaway House sits on a fully fenced and gated half-acre lot, so your dogs can run, roam, and play off-leash right alongside you. Add a detached game room, a hot tub, and a master suite that opens straight into the backyard, and you`ve got a home built for getting everyone together — pups included. Comfortably sleeps up to 12.

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

🐾 Made for dog lovers

The entire half-acre yard is fully fenced and gated, so whether you have one pup or a whole pack, they have safe, private space to call their own. Easy direct backyard access from the master bedroom, a neighborhood full of pet-friendly walking spots, and parks nearby. A pet fee applies, per dog, per stay.

🚪 Easy access

Only two small steps to enter the home — easier on the knees, easier with luggage, and easier for kids, senior dogs, and small pups.

🔥 Amenities

⚡ Wi-Fi 1 Gbps + 3 extenders — reliable whole-home high-speed internet for streaming, gaming, video calls, and remote work. Spectrum TV Stream with 85+ channels. Password provided at check-in.

🎮 Large Detached Game Room — air hockey, skeeball, double-shot basketball, tic-tac-toe, and arcade games (Pac-Man and arcade racing), plus a smart TV. Hours of friendly competition.

🛁 Private Outdoor Hot Tub — soak under the stars in our hot tub, comfortably seating 4, heated year-round with adjustable jets and ambient lighting. Towels provided.

☀️ Expansive Back Porch — sun loungers and a shaded dining area for morning coffee, meals outside, or evening drinks, flowing right to the hot tub. Watch the pups play in the fenced yard while you unwind.

🍳 Fully Equipped Kitchen — rice cooker, microwave, fridge, oven, dishwasher, baking sheets, mixing bowls and mixer, pots and pans, plates, cups, and silverware. If there`s something you need that we don`t have, tell us and we`ll have it delivered.

🌿 Private Master Patio — elegant French doors off the master open directly into the fenced backyard. A secluded spot for morning coffee or evening wine, with a bistro table, two chairs, and soft lighting — and an easy way to let the dogs out first thing without leaving the bedroom.

🏀 Outdoor Basketball Court — shoot some hoops, all within the fenced yard.

🍽️ Outdoor Dining Table — meals outside with the whole group and the pets safely at your feet.

🚴 Katy Trail Access — just a couple of blocks away for walking, biking, and outdoor adventures with your dog.

🌳 Near the Parks — Webster Park is a 5-minute walk (playground, community building, and a loop trail to Heatherbrook Park). Wapelhorst Park is about 2 miles away (a 6–8 minute drive) with dog-friendly off-leash areas — a favorite for guests traveling with pups.

🚗 Parking — two private driveways with room for up to 5 vehicles. Please note St. Charles County does not permit street parking and the street is one-way in and out; these rules are enforced, so all vehicles park in the driveways.

🌳 Private Half-Acre Fenced Lot — completely enclosed and gated for dog safety and family privacy. Plenty of room to roam, play fetch, sunbathe, or just relax in your own peaceful space.
