Nice big house with lots of lighting and big comfortable beds. We stayed here for a wedding weekend with 2 other couples. This place is huge. Nice location. Loved watching the groundhog every morning! Would 100 percent recommend!

For your information the weird neighbor was your host. No one took a picture of your family. That is just not true.

Forest views from every window, super cute house with a 70s design vibe. I’ve read other reviews mentioning the train—the only real noise outside was a babbling creek. Exactly the R&R needed to decompress. Will be back!

Good place

This is a nice place to stay. The only conplaints are not being able to control the heat(lockbox on stats) and the train whistles all night did not get much sleep in the master but the guests in the other rooms said they did not keep them up

There are trains all over town. Being in the valley we hear them. Thank you for staying with us.

As soon as you enter the home, you are hit with a lingering and pungent aroma of dust and dampness. There was dust on every light fixture every wall and every air duct which surprises me because the floors and showers, sinks and other surfaces were spotless. We have some dust allergies in our family so a few of us found this challenging. The thermostat is locked which I found curious I’ve never stayed at a rental where I could not control the temperature. The property is lovely and we really enjoyed the side yard. The photos are accurate for the furniture and decorations. The beds are extremely comfortable. I think it should also be noted that the only access to the property is by using stairs. This might be challenging for some.

You can please some of the people some of the time, but not all of the people all of the time. I disagree with her description of a pungent odor of dust and dampness. I think some people just enjoy being critical. It’s a great house.

Property convenient to Starved Rock State Park. Next to train tracks so heard trains at all hours. Kitchen well-stocked.

If you stay in the community of Ottawa IL chances are you will hear trains, helicopters, and barge horns often. This guest used tin foil in the bottom of my oven. They left my stove a mess and did not properly put away silverware. It was not an easy clean up.

Couples weekend

Great hosts!! They had an issue with the downstairs A/C unit before we arrived. It couldn't be repaired before our stay, so they bought a portable unit! It worked beautifully!! The house is huge and comfortable. Enjoyed our stay. Thanks Katie!!

Same time next year

Clean and comfortable house. We met two other couples and there was plenty of space to spend time together or divide into groups. In warmer weather the back yard and deck would have been fun to hang out in. We were wishing we had firewood to make a fire in the fire pit. Be aware if you book this house that it is set back from the street behind another house so watch for the address on the mailbox.

Good place to stay

Overall the place is great. It sits back off a main road but it’s still quiet. We saw some wildlife from the kitchen window. We only used the master bedroom. The bed was comfortable and everything was clean. I liked that they had a variety of K-cups for the Keurig. The only problem we had was the thermostat is locked. It was a little warmer than we like when we sleep. In the long run it wasn’t problem. I’d recommend this place to other people.
