We would definitely stay here again, without question. It was so cozy, spacious, beautifully decorated, and filled with amenities. It was the perfect size for our family of five. Everything was very clean and was clearly renovated with care. We would highly recommend this place for a comfortable, relaxing stay!

The villa was super clean and a very nice getaway. Plenty to do with hiking at starved rock. Water park, restaurants Walmart near by. Very good location. The kids had fun with all of the games available at the house. The owner put a lot of attention to detail on this rental. Little things that make it feel like homar and not a hotel. We will be back next year. Thank you Anetka

Wonderful time at this cozy townhouse. Two queen beds and a king bed. 6 slept great. Can accommodate another two on sleepers. 2 full baths and a bath tub in the primary room. They also have a pack n play, play mat for a baby and a high chair! I love when people are prepared with baby stuff. We had two cars and had parking spots, not sure if more cars would fit in that area. The house is equipped with everything you’d need to enjoy meals etc. 5min walk to the lobby of the hotel, and 3 min walk to bear island. Great location. If you’re here for the Utica wine fest, the shuttle goes there! Do not count on Ubers… some are around but very few. We will be back next year. Thank you for a great stay.

Great weekend getaway

This villa served our group of six girlfriends well for a laid back long weekend. Nestled in the woods and close to Grand Bear Resort, it was clean, well-stocked for cooking, and up to date. We drove to Starved Rock lodge a few miles away, ate well at two restaurants in Utica, and enjoyed a walk to a nearby canyon just off the outdoor bar, entertainment, mini-golf area of the resort. Well worth the price.
