The home was cozy and perfect for a gathering of extended family. Bathrooms and sleeping options were wonderful! House was fully stocked with everything we possibly needed. We would love to come back! Nice welcome note and treats made it even more special.

Our time was kinda limited at the house since our purpose there was the close proximity to a local event. But the house was very well maintained, had everything we needed and many things we simply didn’t have time to get to.The only preferential recommendation would be cozier living furniture. We were exhausted and oversized cozy furniture would have been homier than fashionable. My grandsons, ages 9 and 6, really liked the play room aka butler’s pantry and apparently they know fashion design because the loves all the cool things about the property.

Great place, especially if you are fond of old houses! Very clean and comfortable. It seemed to have everything one would need (towels, dishes, soaps, etc).

Clean and beatifully detailed home

Our yearly retreat was so well framed by this home full of beautiful wood and tile detailing, a large dining table for all of us to sit together, 4 bedrooms and 6 beds (1 pull-out couch and 1 air mattress), and EXTREMELY CLEAN FLOORS. Like, we walked around barefoot indoors and got NO CRUMBS OR DUST on our feet until after we’d eaten a few meals. I was really impressed by how clean the place was. Elaine was quick to respond when the dishwasher stopped working, and we figured things out! Really close to a grocery store and several lovely parks

The vintage home was very nice inside but the neighborhood was run-down and there was no off-street parking. The property was way too expensive for the location.

Beautiful Setting for a Bday Getaway

Elaine’s was a great place to celebrate a milestone birthday with friends! With four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and the option of a pull out couch and air mattress, we had room for multiple adults to be comfortable. The large and well-equipped kitchen and big dining room table were perfect for collaborating on meals and playing games. We enjoyed pizza from Fire on Fifth and day hikes at Starved Rock. We recommend Elaine’s for a group celebration or holiday!

Wedding Weekend

Our daughter was getting married and we knew we needed to rent a lot of quality properties for friends and family. We trust Elaine as an amazing host and only rent from her when we visit LaSalle. The house was beautiful and well appointed with the perfect barn and comfort and historical charm. Elaine has thought of everything and even left fresh flowers on the table. The house was clean, comfortable, and fit our family and friends perfectly.

Nice!

The house was well maintained. Communication with Elaine was excellent. Beds were comfortable. Elaine’s had nice touches such as having some bottled water and chocolates out. That was sweet. Nice book with things to do, food options etc. Only downside was that neighborhood was not as well maintained as her house.

Amazing home near Starved Rock and Matthiessen!

Eleven of us (8 adults and 3 young children) stayed at Elaine’s home for a weekend or fun, laughter and hiking. The house was extremely clean and the beds were super cozy. The backyard was a perfect size to enjoy privacy, the fire pit and a game of catch. Elaine’s recommendation binder was so helpful and informative on the local restaurants, hiking and shopping. I would definitely recommend this vrbo to anyone staying in the area. My friends and I are already planning our next trip to Elaine’s home.
