Being in nature

One of the things that I liked about this property was that not only was it accessible to Starved Rock park, but the property itself was quite relaxing. The directions we received to find it we're also appreciated. I'm not sure we would've found it so quickly had we not received those instructions. The only thing I would say is that The pull out couch was not at all comfortable to sleep on. Of course, you can't find too many pull out sofas that are comfortable to sleep on 😀
