Modern renovated cabin perfect for a weekend retreat

We had a great time during our stay and loved how immersed in nature the cabin feels while still being close to grocery stores, restaurants and steps away from Starved Rock and Mathiessen parks. Aneta is so welcoming and responsive over text. She was super helpful with recommendations on where to hike, get coffee, etc. 10/10 recommend

Girls’ trip

We had a wonderful time staying here on a girls’ weekend trip. The accommodations were as listed and all was communicated clearly with the owner. Everything was clean and nicely updated. It was just a short drive to several hiking trails and towns for convenient shopping/dining. We will definitely be back!!

One of the best rentals you will encounter!

Aneta’s property is truly lovely and the decor is amazing! The seasonal decorations were not only adorable but such a surprise. The condo is larger than it appears in photos and we loved the open concept. Aneta supplies everything you would need for your stay. The linens are high quality and plentiful. The beds and pillows were extremely comfortable and there are cozy blankets everywhere. The only negative was that we had to leave. We will definitely book this property again when we visit Starved Rock. Thank you, Aneta, for sharing your condo!

Great weekend away

We really enjoyed our stay. The property was extremely clean and well taken care of. We used the kitchen and everything was stocked and in good condition. The villa was still decorated for Christmas, which was nice for the lit trees. We enjoyed the gas fireplace and indoor games. It was super cold out this weekend, so we spent more time at the villa than expected since we could do our planned hikes. I would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful Villa Unit

I was solo on this stay, but will definitely bring my family back for a stay. There is plenty of space for 8. The kitchen is fully equipped. I like the breakfast bar for 3 and table with seating for 6, too. One bathroom has walk-in shower. Gas fiireplaces on both floors. King bed, chaise lounge, & whirlpool bath in master bedroom. Second bedroom has 2 queen beds. Both have TV. Overall it was a wonderful place to reflect, enjoy, nature, and relax. The host was wonderful!
