Great house for a hiking adventure at Starved Rock and Mathiessen. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals and we ate on the lovely deck out back. The fenced yard was a wonderful bonus that allowed our dog to live his best life outside with us. Would definitely stay here again.

Charming and quirky home perfect for a getaway with friends! Loved the fire pit and cooking in the spacious kitchen as well as dining outside on the large deck. Our dogs loved the fenced in yard and the host was even kind enough to leave a little gift bag for them - so sweet! Having bedrooms on separate levels was a big plus for privacy. Would stay again.

Good quiet location for a good value. The host provided many good suggestions and ensured the home was well aligned for our stay. The town of La Salle is pretty small - while the places we went were very good, there weren't many places available to go - just be prepared that while the location is convenient to walk downtown, there really isn't much of a downtown to walk to. You may also wish to consider a different stay if you are opposed to firm mattresses. The mattresses at this stay were the most firm I have ever slept on. If a small town and a extra firm mattress don't matter to you, then a great place to consider.

Thank you for the great stay at this house. It was great to be able to bring our pups and they could just play and roam around in the back yard while we enjoyed the weather and family time together.. I also loved how well stocked the house was for the guests and puppies with the extra touch amenities. If we are ever back in the area we will definitely stay again. I would also recommend staying here.

The property manager, Elaine, gave us plenty of area information to get acquainted with what’s around in the neighborhood. It was our first time using VRBO and everything ran smoothly. We will definitely be back soon. I would recommend this property for anyone looking for a short distance away from Starved Rock.
