Magnificent Riverfront Victorian House steps from downtown Ottawa !

8/10 Good

"Large home worked well for eight 69/70 year old ladies with a view of the river from the deck along with lots of bedrooms/ beds and bathrooms. Nice large table in the main dining room to play games at. Smaller dining room has the only TV but view is obstructed by another dining table in front of the couch so IPads were used to watch college football games on. Cleaning lady missed cleaning out inside of frig along with removing a broken chair on the deck . Obtaining check in code was received later than stated."

Private 200-Acre Estate Near Starved Rock

10/10 Excellent

"The space was exactly what we needed for a bachelorette party of 12 people. The communal space was perfect for meals and games. It was actually larger than I expected from the photos. There were plenty of places for everyone to sleep comfortably. Everything was labeled for ease of use: switches, drawers, etc. The porch space was so beautiful and we loved gathering for s'mores around the fire pit. We did a float trip in Oglesby so we were beyond lucky to find such a perfect house close by. Ryan and Kiki were so easy to contact and quick to respond. Great experience overall!"

This period is ideal for couples who enjoy outdoor activities like hiking and kayaking along the Illinois and Fox Rivers. The Starved Rock State Park and Matthiessen State Park are particularly scenic at this time.Autumn is another excellent time to visit, with the surrounding forests ablaze with colourful foliage.
