Toddler Paradise

We were in the area for a family reunion. With 2 kids just under 2 years old, the place was perfect. There were toys to keep them occupied, even a roller coaster! There was room for them to play inside and out. We all had fun watching the lightning bugs!The beds were all very comfortable. The back yard was very pretty.

Perfect for Starved Rock Visit

We wanted somewhere that would be family & dog friendly, and close to Starved Rock-this was perfect for us!The house is located in an older neighborhood, but owners did a great job renovating the house. Very clean, cozy, and had all the necessary amenities.

Life long friends

The three of us in our party are approaching 80 years of age and have been friends since we were 12 or 13 years old. We wanted a place where we could just sit back, chill out, reminisce, and laugh a lot. This property fit the bill to a T. We were comfortable and enjoyed our stay to the fullest. Thank you for everything.

Easy check in-the host texted us the door code the day before arrival. The house was clean and ready for check in by 4 pm. Each TV was a RoKu. There was one remote to share between the main level TV's. There were no remotes to adjust the volume. To adjust the volume you had to push buttons on the back or bottom of the TV's. The kitchen was stocked with the bare minimum. The pots and pans need to be replaced. Several of them had burnt on food on them. It was nice of the host to leave coffee, sugar and creamer. They also had a big bag of ice in the freezer. The primary bed mattress needs to be replaced. It is way to soft and the mattress is squeaky. The bathrooms were excellent. Plenty of hot water and pressure. The house has AC. It worked great on the main level. It was unusually hot outside during our stay. The upstairs was warm. There is one fan in one of the bedrooms. We had to borrow another fan from a friend. We would stay here again if the primary bed was replaced. Overall, our stay was good.

Very kid friendly!

We had a wonderful time at this house. The kids were so entertained with all the toys and there was space to spread out and relax. There were so many small details that were thought of to make us feel at home. I also loved the rainbows that came through the stained glass window; that made for beautiful pictures!

We had a group of 10 that spent the day hiking at Starved Rock. We spent the evening relaxing, playing games and snacking. The property was perfect for our large group! I'm hoping to make it back when it's better weather to try that fire pit!

Family fun for 9…ages 12-72!

Beautiful home with everything you could need for your four legged friends, kids, and family game night! We enjoyed grilling out, cooking together, and sitting around the fire pit. There are two trees perfect for a hammock, and the lightening bugs put on quite a show for us too. Great location close to two state parks where we hiked for days! Also, visit lasalle pool! So cheap and nice!!!!

5 days for a wedding

We rented this house for our son's wedding At Starved Rock. The house is very clean and has everything you will need for your stay. It is pet friendly and we had planned on bring our dogs, but plans changed, and we did not. The host was gracious enough to refund our pet deposit. We had younger kids with us, and they enjoyed all the games and toys. Upon arrival I was scared when I saw the outside of the property. The garbage was overflowing in the driveway (next to the kitchen) and smelled bad outside, and that smell had permeated into the kitchen. Good thing I brought Air Spray. The weeds were taller than me and that is saying something. Once we got inside, we were pleasantly surprised! It is a very nice house, and we would recommend it!

Weekend stay

The interior of the home is nicely appointed and was as described. Plenty of room. The grandkids has lots of fun playing with the toys and Foosball table. The freezer section of the refrigerator was not working properly and could only maintain a low temperature of 24 degrees even though it was set at below zero. No ice was available and keeping bags of ice frozen was problematic. The exterior needs a bit of care. Lots of weeds. Patio furniture was older and needs some cleaning. The location, being near the state parks, is good. Just a short drive north to plenty of hiking, boating, and small town entertainment/dining. The view of the next door neighbor home was a bit disappointing. Early morning (4:30 am) ATV noise was a "rude" awakening.

Family wedding

Stayed here with kids and grandkids to attend a wedding in Princeton. Very kid-friendly. FYI: bring a few extra towels and wash clothes and maybe an air mattress. We had 7 adults and two kids and there were only 6 towels and 4 wash cloths. We got a twin air mattress for one grandson as their weren’t enough beds with 3 couples and one single adult needing all four bedrooms. It worked for 2 nights though! House was clean and gave us space to be together and visit and the kids loved the foosball table in the living room! Nice fire pit in back but no wood…it was raining anyway so no big deal. Nearest grocery of size is about a 15 minute drive. Not too bad. All in all it was adequate for our needs!

There were a lot of positives with this home. It had both a keurig and a coffee pot. The house was clean and close to Starved Rock. There was plenty of room and there were some toys for kids. The fire pit was nice to have. The area was quiet and safe. The master bedroom had a king bed. A few negatives were that there were not many eating utensils. We had 6 adults and one of the adults had to eat with a baby fork. The upstairs beds were full size beds and not queens. Also, I had to message the host the day we arrived in order to get instructions on arrival. However, the host was always very quick to respond. Overall, I would recommend staying here.

Perfect for a weekend with friends!

Booking, check-in, & communication couldn't have been easier. Parking was ample; there were 3 SUVs in the group, & there was still plenty of room left for another vehicle in the driveway. The home was spacious, spotless, & had everything we could ever need. The location is perfect; we were never more than 20 minutes away from any of our activities & found a few wonderful local eating establishments. Check-out was a breeze, & the host was prompt & gracious responding to any & all questions we had. We shall definitely be staying here again.
