Family gathering
We had four families come together for a long weekend. Grandma’s cabin was perfect for us as there were four bedrooms and large living/sleeping/dining space in the middle. It was great for “cousin camp.“ The nearby parks and towns were easy to get to and explore. The host was very easy to communicate with, if needed.

Nice, quiet place to stay
We stayed here due to the proximity to Starved Rock and Matthiessan State parks and enjoyed our stay. Big enough for 3 families and room for everyone to play outside. Would return without question. Thanks Teresa and Jamie.

New Years getaway
Our group was 3 couples we came to hang out and relax for a few days over New Years. The cabin worked out perfectly. Beds were very comfortable. Linens were provided. Kitchen was stocked with enough dishes and pots and pans. Water is super hard as they note. Wasn’t a problem for us other than made coffee taste horrible so bring your own bottled. Gas fireplace was not operational which was unfortunate so we sat around the fire pit instead. Cabin was plenty warm for winter, ceiling fans helped even the temp in the middle great room.. Oh and very little to no cell service at this location. Those that can’t live without their phone/internet may want to mentally prepare! They do have satalite dish with zillions of channels for watching TV. Would definitely stay here again for a group getaway.
