A great place to stay. Very clean and well kept. My wife used the word 'elegant' to describe the suite. The living area, bathroom, tub/shower, and bed were all top notch! Conveniently located right in town and close by to several beautiful State Parks in the area. Downtown Utica was great and all the local business were very accommodating and friendly. You are seconds away from several restaurants, wineries, breweries, and shopping. We look forward to going back. Access and communication was good also.
This stay was planned very last minute, and we could not have been more pleased. The suite was beautiful and though it's above a restaurant/bar there was no noise. We hope to return for a longer stay.
Excellent location. Above restaurant/bar but noise not an issue. Comfortable bed & large sectional. More of a studio since no separate room for bed. Must carry luggage up stairs. Large whirlpool tub/shower was running out of hot water before jets could be run in tub. Nice that basic condiments (spices, oils, sugar/flour) & coffee furnished No dishwasher but an apartment sized fridge in addition to reg. refrigerator was out of place, along with dated stove. That being said was a perfect place to stay downtown & would recommend
Nice property and convenient to Starved Rock and for visiting Utica. Very clean! It would be nice to have window treatments on the arched windows as the street lights shine all night. Also important to note that you can hear bar music and patrons late at night. Bars state they close at 9 pm, but that wasn’t the case. I would recommend if you’re looking for a cozy and convenient place to stay.
Cute, clean and comfortable place to stay. Right in the heart of town. Good restaurants and ice cream shop right across. The owner replied almost immediately what ever question we had.
We really appreciate this.
We came to see Starved rock park, which is very close. We actually walk there.
Thank you Kelly 👍🙏
We really enjoyed this surprisingly beautiful, new suite, right in the heart of Utica on Mill Street. Very nice touches, whirlpool bath, plush towels, nice ambiance, gas fireplace, comfortable bed, quiet, incredibly spacious, with kitchen amenities and Keurig coffee.
This town is always bustling with great food and drink, starting with Skoog’s right downstairs from the apartment. Great hometown feel, nice staff, great grill food. Also went to fun event, Truffle Shuffle at August Hill Winery down the street and made our regular stops at Canal Port and Bruce and Ollie’s. Everyone in this town is sooo nice!
My husband and I came on our 5th year wedding anniversary. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome, I loved that everything was centrally located . It was easy to get around, we went hiking which wasn't far away, we went out for ice cream which again was right across the street. The food at skoogs was amazing and the owner of this rental also owns the bar and grill downstairs which I thought was amazing because if we needed anything she was right there. I will for sure be coming back and telling all my friends and family as well!!
The property was nice and looks like photos. It was a good place to stay while near Starved Rock. It may have been due to our last minute booking, but we did not receive info from the host regarding check in / check out procedure and wifi access prior to our arrival. However, the host was quick to respond when info was requested.
Perfect location right in the middle of downtown. The apartment was well equipped with all the essentials. Super clean and the extra comfy bed made for a wonderful, relaxing stay.
Everything was great! There was a fun block party and live band playing in the streets below and my husband and I were worried there would be too much noise, but it was really quiet. Cute, walkable neighborhood with lots of dining and local shops.
Mill Street Suite was very charming and had everything we needed. The location was ideal for our hiking expeditions and so convenient to go downstairs and grab a good meal. Would highly recommend this place.
The Mill Street Suite was perfect for a short getaway. We really enjoy Utica’s small town charm and offerings. We were able to enjoy a relaxing afternoon on Mill Street, a nice dinner and a hike at Starved Rock.

Let me say that this may be one of the better rooms to rent in the area, And it is clean and pleasantly decorated.
BUT, there are no curtails to keep the Sunlight from flooding the bed area and entire living area (its a very large studio apartment) By 7 am it is a bright as daylight outside!
We did not mind paying the highest price in the area to stay here, we wanted some place nice and it is charming. BUT, I do expect a real mattress. This "suite" has a ridiculous mailorder mattress (full size - not Queen) that compresses over 6 inches just when you push down with your hand. And to make it worse the mattress does not have a box spring, but rather a bunkie board. And that board is bent another 2 to 3 inches. So when you lie down, even if you only weigh 130lbs, your chest to your hips are in an 8-10 inch trench of soft mattress. Not the bed anyone would expect after hiking the local canyon trails all day and climbing 3-400 forest stairs.
Oh, they list Keurig coffee, so we did not bring our own, But they only offered 4 candy flavors without any real coffee at all.
