Met friends here for a Friendsgiving that included 8 adults and 7 kids ages 1-9. We loved all of the space and there was plenty enough room to accommodate all of us. Host was quick to reply when I had questions. We are planning to make this a yearly tradition!!

The house was perfect for 8 adults. Plenty of kitchen space and a roomy eating area. The beds were quite comfortable; and the house was clean with a good feeling of home away from home. The kitchen could have been supplied a bit more with kitchen towels and dishwasher pods. Overall, the kitchen was well stocked with utensils and cooking supplies.

Great Place for Family Gathering

We had a family with three generations and it was perfect. Plenty of space to spread out and lots of space to eat in a well equipped kitchen. The outdoor space was great for everyone to gather and for the little ones to run around and play. I would certainly rent this again if I am ever back with my whole family. The housekeeping needs to pay closer attention to details. If the management wants to know about that please contact me. The pool that we could use was way to crowded with WAY too much drinking to be family friendly.

Annual Fall Family Reunion

This house is AMAZING! It's very difficult to find 5 bedroom houses that are reasonably priced for our annual fall get together. We have family members from Ohio, Iowa, and Missouri that gather for a weekend of reconnecting and fun. The Kane Family Farm right next door to the house made this year's reunion one of the best. The game room is awesome, the bedrooms are huge, and beds are very comfortable. Overall, one of the best houses we have ever rented.

Great location and size

Located halfway between Marseilles and Ottawa, where we spent time in both towns. Very large bedrooms and entertaining areas. Only issue was a very cold basement where 2 of the bedrooms are located. Hard to regulate temp in basement, must be regulated by upstairs thermostate. Would still stay there again.

Great weekend getaway with family

Our group of 13 adults and kids had a great stay. The place had plenty of room for all of us to comfortably eat, sleep, play games, hang out, etc. The patio and fire pit was a great night time hangout spot. Starved Rock State Park was close by for some nice hikes. We had a couple minor annoyances in that I had to exchange the propane tank for the grill because it was empty but they promptly reimbursed me. There were also no useable plastic darts which was a let down for the kids. All and all it was great though and would recommend to others.

Lots of problems

This property is run by a property management group. You have to sign an additional contract before you get the keys. We had to purchase our own toilet paper and Papertowels. It was freezing in the basement. You talked to the property managers by email not on VRBO. Good luck.

Great space for families to gather

We came to my daughter’s wedding from Washington (Mt Adam’s) , Iowa , Northern California, Southern California . First time to have all four grandchildren at the same time . It’s very private and we were welcomed after we were settled in. Very polite family . Thank you so much for bringing firewood . We never found the time for the pond for fishing but felt at home . Youngest grandson ran through the patio screen door after the incident my grandson learned how to replace screen in a door !! Great times . Would love to come again . Yes my oldest grandson whoooped me in air hockey .. peace from our family to yours.

Perfect for our large family

Clean, plenty of space, and close to all the state parks in the area! Plenty of great restaurants nearby, too. This VRBO is owned by Heritage Harbor, so we first checked in at their Welcome Center which was friendly and quick. The location of the VRBO is ideal, about 10 minutes outside of town in the country. No neighbors nearby, so a nice private area to enjoy. We had 8 adults and 2 babies, and we had plenty of space. It is definitely the most spacious VRBO I have even booked. With 5 bedrooms and 3 baths, it was just great! Large living room, too, and a basement with a large bar area with darts, foosball, and air hockey table. One thing particularly stood out: this place was super clean, and their housekeeping should be commended on such an awesome job. We enjoyed Starved Rock State Park and Buffalo Rock State Park as part of our stay. We also had access to their swimming pool, which is about one block from the Welcome Center. We went one morning and had the pool to ourselves. Very clean and tidy, and we noticed a cleaning crew had come in to clean the two bathrooms while we were swimming. Again, I must commend them on cleanliness. One evening back at the VRBO, we enjoyed the firepit and had smores. We all agreed that we would all enjoy staying here again!
