Beautiful, very clean, spacious villa, just as pictured. Kitchen and bathrooms well stocked with everything you need. Fireplaces were nice. Location close to Starved Rock state park and Utica that has great restaurants and shopping.
Amazing cozy beautifully decorated! Everything we needed for a great stay. Plenty of towels, all your kitchen needs, comfy meets affordable. The fireplaces were awesome, the jet tub amazing. Plenty of room for a big family. We loved the ambiance and will book again! Thank you for a great place to stay!
Very spacious...incredible value. Lots of room in the kitchen, nice living room and TV. Nice back patio and two other balconies! Parking was literally 4 or 5 footsteps from front door. Overall amazing place...plus super close to hiking trails
The place was wonderful! Very clean. The hot tub and fire place was a hige plus. The kitchen was stocked with all necessities. The beds were a bit harder than we liked, but that's a personal preference. The biluilding letters are hard to find and see in the dark, especially in the rain. My gps did not take me directly to the right building. But we eventually found it. I do recommend to map out which building you are in, if youre arriving in the dark.
Great place for us and our 3 teens. Location to multiple state parks for hiking trails was ideal. Also location near a few small towns was good too. Very clean and comfortable. Would stay again and recommend to others.
Good location for hiking at both parks nearby. Very clean and had everything we needed for a great weekend.
