Amenities- the air mattresses need to be replaced as they deflate in the middle of the night.The hot water ran out super fast which cause us to not enjoy the hot tub. Other than that we had a really good time, the host was super nice. We will consider renting from her again.

We were looking for more outside seating. We thought we saw where it advertised and showed lawn chair furniture outside but we looked at so many places we might have been mistaken. Only 2 loveseats in living room so only seating for 4. We bought a lawn chair for 5th person to set with us. We tried to use pull out sofa bed but everyone felt to uncomfortable to sleep on.

Verified traveler

This was my first ever VRBO trip and overall it was good. The kids and grandparents loved the games at this property. This VRBO stay did not start with a good first impression… someone left a #2 in the downstairs bathroom toilet for me to find upon arrival, but I’ll assume that the cleaning crew was in a hurry instead of this being a first-time customer initiation.

Decent spot

So first I'll say the house was clean for the most part. My kids loved the big game tables. Great location. Unfortunately, The beds weren't the most comfortable, the Jacuzzi wasn't clean, the "lots of games and books for kids" wasn't totally true. This was a townhouse which I wasn't expecting. No real yard space as advertised. The sliding door screens look like they had been broken into. The sliding doors don't work well and the balcony's were not in great shape. I don't know that I would pick to stay here again. I did appreciate all the kitchen amenities.

Great location and a fun stay.

The property is nice. Lots of games are provided to entertain the kids and adults. Air hockey and Mortal Combat were big hits.The location is a one-minute drive from the entrance to Starved Rock and four minutes from Matthiessen State Park. The trail entrance to the St. Louis Waterfall Trail is right across the street if you want a quick hike. Or you could take that trail and hike to the St. Louis visitor's center.Everything was clean, and it was nice to have a washer and dryer in the unit. Plenty of towels and basic kitchen cookware were provided.No condiments or coffee are provided, which is normal, but it is something to keep in mind. There isn't a close grocery store, so it's worth bringing any food and ice you want to eat there.Overall, it's a nice place for the area. We would bring the kids again!

Not enough for even 8 people

The property is small for even 8 persons. Couch/sofa in the living room is not great for use and you will get back pain if you sit for shorter periods too. Jetted tub was not clean. Mattresses were very bad(spring mattresses) as you would get back pain without extra pillows. The property can’t hold 12 persons for sure as it was not enough for 8 persons. This property may be good only for 6 people as it’s small

Great location, good house

First, let me say this is not a cabin. The listing was a bit misleading if you are expecting a cabin, this is a townhome. That being said, it was lovely! Overall clean and well kept. The only thing we didn't use was the whirlpool tub as it didn't look clean. If you plan to do any cooking, the supplies are pretty basic (no baking sheets) but for stovetop cooking we were all set. None of that is said to dissuade people just to be informative. We would DEFINITELY stay here again!
