Every year we get together to spend a quiet weekend reading, exploring a new town, and catching up. This was such a cozy place to do just that (and the couch is PHENOMENAL). Destiny was absolutely lovely and helpful, and the place is beautiful.

Great for a friends trip!

This was the perfect place for a weekend in Starved Rock! Location is close to both Starved Rock and Matthiessen State Park, downtown Utica, and other neighboring towns. Everything was just like the listing, and bigger than we expected. We would definitely stay again!
