    My daughter and I spent a long weekend at the Bittersweet Inn. We loved the Inn and the Innkeeper. It is a comfy, cozy house and we will return again. The wonderful breakfast carried us right through lunch. Yum!

    Sandra really knows how to make you feel at home. The room was great and the food was amazing!. She made the best French Toast ever! We set out to bike the Katy trail and were able to leave our car parked for the week there. The front porch is filled with greenery and the interior is restored beautifully. As an aside, St. Charles is a very nice town with lots of little shops and nice restaurants. Ask Sandra for restaurant recommendations. We'll definitely stay there again when we return to ride the the trail!

    My husband and I took a shot in the dark making a reservation at for a bed and breakfast in St. Charles and choose The Bittersweet Inn based on their excellent reviews. Everything far exceeded our expections!! From being greeted with warm chocolate chip cookies as well as another yummy chocolate desert and then the most AMAZING breakfast I have ever had. Sandy's desire is to serve her guests....she goes above and beyond. Our room was cozy and comfortable in every way. We will definately pay another visit to Sandy and "The Bittersweet Inn"....looking forward to it!!


    Very cozy

    Thank you Sandy, for being such a great hostess. Hubby was asked to put an evening together away from the kids and works. What a cozy surprise! Beautiful breakfast. Wished we could have stayed the rest of the week. Sometimes it takes getting away, glad we did and he picked a great place. We will be back.
