Main level bedroom was nice and comfortable. Living room comfortable.Check either behind stove or in garage for mice, we heard some noise coming from that area at night.Upstairs needs attention. Futon mattress is poor (grandkids had to sleep on floor). Other two guest rooms upstairs my guests had allergic reactions within 1 hour of going to bed. They had to move downstairs and slept in master and sofa instead. A little thing, maybe pickup some new que balls for your nice foosball table. (Ping pong balls not too fun).Outside back yard pretty view and we enjoyed the firepit. Perhaps a little more yard sprucing to add more charm.

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.

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.

Wonderful house near Starved Rock

Great communication with host, excellent house. More spacious than the pictures even, very clean, lots of little extras like coffee, loads of clean fluffy towels, so much room. We didn't have little ones, but if you did, lots of toys available. Large TV's, great internet. Just comfortable, comfortable, comfortable. And close to Starved Rock. A real find.

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.

Comfortable Space for Family/Friends

We wanted a place to stay near the state parks and this house for the bill! Not much to do nearby, but Utica and parks are an easy 15 minute drive. The house was clean and equipped with everything we needed for the night's stay. Owners were very accommodating and great with communication.

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.

Starved Rock State Park Trip

We had a great time staying here this weekend! The pictures are exactly what you’ll see in person. The home is very spacious and well stocked with everything you need from the kitchen to the bathrooms. I was very happy with the location and how close it was located to Starved Rock State Park. I will definitely be back!

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.

The property was really nice. It was located in a small town about 10 minutes from three state parks. It was also very pet friendly.
