Amazing Weekend Getaway

My girlfriend and myself visited Starved Rock for the weekend with our dog Cooper. This was a perfect, cozy, comfortable place for us to call home for the weekend. Check in was simple and easy. Dog treats, poop bags and towels for dirty paws were there for us which was a wonderful touch. The house was clean, the shower pressure was excellent and the backyard was wonderful to grill and make a fire. The living room was comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. Overall a 10/10 experience!

Great Base for Trail Hiking

The Tonti was a lovely, cozy, well-apponted home in a nice neighborhood. Fenced yard is great for dogs and young kids. Great base for hitting Starved Rock area parks and trails and neighboring small towns. Host Elaine provides excellent information about the area. My daughter, me and our dogs had a great time and will return!

An OK pet friendly short stay

Check in was easy&very welcoming, including pet treats, toys&poop bags.I loved that they included dog towels for wet dogs&muddy paws.This was a brief stay on our way back home from a long road trip.With a bit more attention to detail this property could be even better.Couch&chairs could use a deep steam cleaning.They held a little dander odor&kitchen seats had stains. Maybe an old sheet for the couch if guests allow their pets on them would help between deep cleans. Kitchen window into the backyard&bathroom windows need at least a good scrubbing until they can be replaced. Heavier, privacy curtains would be good for the bedroom. Bathroom lacks a good place to hang wet towels.The picture of the living room appeared to have a full couch&love seat. Couch was as pictured but the love seat was just 2 chairs pushed together, not as functional as expected. Home is small, fine for a couple or family with younger children. Backyard was large, fenced in& appeared to be a great space for hanging outside (too cold for our stay to enjoy it completely). Off street parking deep single driveway was helpful. Very convenient to major highways &parks. In fact Starved Rock was a very short drive. Plus a cute park right down the road for kids. Neighborhood is older, decent, felt safe. A bit busy street, seems to be a cut through for the locals. Some decent food choices close& convenient. Overall 3.5. Minor changes would bring it up to 4.0. A few major improvements would really benefit the home.

Wonderful home in a quiet neighborhood. Short drive back and forth to Starved Rock where we hiked a few trails and learned some history. Our dogs loved the back yard and we loved everything. It truly was our home away from home.

Great location and quiet neighborhood

A well decorated cute home that was very clean. The yard was wonderful for my dog to play and chill. The location is close to places to eat and hiking at several state parks. The bed was comfortable, I slept so well! The owner was very prompt to respond to any questions. I look forward to coming back.

Spotless and comfortable neighborhood home!

Our family of six enjoyed Elaine's simple and clean home. It is on a quiet street with a well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and ample backyard with an awesome firepit set-up! Elaine also went above and beyond with simple hosting touches and helpful information supplied in advance. Her place was close to the three state parks nearby, which was our goal.

Quick weekend for a funeral

We had a memorial for our dad/grandpa in a nearby town. After 8.5hrs of travel this was the perfect spot to rest. Plenty of space for the five of us. Updates are super stylish while still being comfortable. Local eateries delivered delicious dinners. Amenities are better than some high end hotels. We loved it!

Wonderful Experience

The Tonti house was a wonderful getaway for my husband, dog and I. The location is convenient to the parks, Lasalle has some fantastic restaurants, the neighborhood was friendly and quiet and the home itself was clean and welcoming. My dog especially enjoying running around the backyard. She didn't mind the walk to the local ice cream stand either! Our only wish is the weather would have been cooler so we could have enjoyed the fire pit. We'd highly recommend this home for your next getaway.

50th Birthday Celebration

When asked what I wanted to do for my 50th birthday celebration, I decided to go hiking with my favorite people aka our family. I didn't want the hustle and bustle of Starved Rock while staying at the lodge. I wanted more quiet quality time with my family. I also wanted a fire to chill out at night. This house was perfect! Definitely close enough to drive to both Starved Rock and Matthiessen Park for hiking during the day. And a perfect relaxing setting at night grilling and sitting around the fire roasting s'mores with our family of 7! The house was perfect for our needs. Very clean and cute! Hostess was immediately responsive to my questions and needs. Thank you for making my birthday celebration perfect!
