Perfect Villa for a Peaceful Getaway

We had a fantastic stay at this vacation villa! The location was perfect—close to the park and town, yet wonderfully quiet and peaceful. The villa was spotless and well-maintained. We especially enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub with its soothing jets. It truly made for a wonderful vacation. We would definitely love to return!

We visited Starved Rock and a couple of the nearby towns. Excellent stay. The four of us had a great time, even in the wicket heat of the La Salle and Utica area this week. Of course, the villa had A/C, which was perfect.

Accurate listing and enjoyable stay. The resort waterpark needs some cleaning and maintenance (especially for the admission price), but our kids liked it. Wouldn’t hesitate to book this place again.
