🚧 THE FINAL STRETCH: 28 DAYS UNTIL WE REOPEN, COMPLETELY BRAND NEW 🚧
Due to demand, we`re almost finished with a major expansion. We`re adding a second master ensuite with a king bed, shower, and double vanity. We`re also growing the game room by 500 sq ft, to a full 900 sq ft of pure entertainment with pool, arcade, and a big screen.
Construction wraps at the end of October, and we welcome our first guests on November 1st. Be one of the first groups to stay in the new Getaway House. Holiday weekends at a house this size always go quickly, so lock in Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year`s before somebody else grabs them.

This is the rare vacation home where the whole family, including the four-legged members, can truly relax. The Getaway House sits on a very private, fully fenced and gated 0.6-acre lot, so your dogs can run, roam, and play off-leash right alongside you. It has a 900 sq ft game room, a hot tub, and two king master suites, one of which opens straight into the backyard. It`s 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.
🔒 Truly private
The Getaway House is a very private property. Its 0.6 acres are fully fenced and gated, with tinted windows throughout. It feels like your own retreat, even though you`re just minutes from the Streets of St. Charles. Soak in the hot tub, let the dogs run, or gather around the outdoor table, all without feeling on display.
🐾 Made for dog lovers
The entire 0.6-acre yard is fully fenced and gated. Whether you have one pup or a whole pack, they have safe, private space to call their own.
· The master bedroom opens directly into the backyard.
· The neighborhood is full of pet-friendly walking spots.
· Parks are nearby.
· A pet fee applies per dog, per stay.
🚪 Easy access
Only two small steps to enter the home. That`s easier on the knees, easier with luggage, and easier for kids, senior dogs, and small pups.

🚗 Parking: Two private driveways with room for up to 4 vehicles. St. Charles County does not permit street parking, and the street is one-way in and out. These rules are enforced, so all vehicles must park in the driveways.
