Spacious, CLEAN, comfortable, relaxing
I loved staying here so much! It was SO spacious and tidy and clean and just felt so refreshing to stay in. I felt like I could do a cartwheel in every room. The host was so helpful and responsive as well. I was there for a wedding with my spouse but I plan on going back with the kids because the space was so comfy, clean and kid friendly! The kitchen is so nice and I’d love to cook a family meal in it.

Great Little Getaway!
We stayed here for a wedding at starved rock and then took advantage of the property's proximity to the water park and other offerings at the grand bear resort. The owners were very accommodating! Great location!

Great space for a Fall babymoon
We booked a last minute stay for a quick babymoon getaway. This was a great location close to Starved Rock. The villa is super spacious, clean, comfortable and more than enough space for just the two of us. We will definitely come back and bring family. Thank you!
