My family stayed here for 2 nights for a family reunion and it was perfect. Great amenities and very spacious. Great location for Starved Rock as well.
We had a great stay at the cabin. Very clean and cozy. Responsive hosts. We had everything we needed for our stay. We are already planning a second trip when the weather gets warmer!
We enjoyed so much we seen waterfalls went on boat and lunch cruise and seen a mansion. The villa was beutiful could not ask for a better place Thankyou so much
We had our family Thanksgiving dinner at the cabin. There were 13 of us. We had a fully stocked kitchen and plenty of room for us all. It was so comfortable and beautiful. We will definitely be booking again!
We knew we loved the area and had stayed in another cabin previously but this one was far nicer. Upon arrival we could tell the property was cared for and much cleaner. We all loved the cute fall decor that gave us all the homey vibes. The kitchen had a great selection of cookware. We will definitely be back and chowing this property!
Very large home on two levels. Lower level: kitchen, living, bathroom, washer, and dryer. Upper level: bedrooms and bathroom. We stayed 3 nights and found everything new, well designed and in almost untouched state. The owner provided several non-stick Tefal pans. It was quiet and we could sleep well. We recommend the place and would like to come back.
We had a great stay minus the check in process. Better communication in providing directions would have been helpful. I would suggest signage as well to label the letters on the blogs.The house itself provided everything we were hoping for and then some! We appreciate how clean the unit was upon check in. Access to games, cookware, etc was so thoughtful! Oh and the Christmas decor made it feel like home! Nice touch!!
