Very welcoming, accurate pictures and listing. Loved the games and activities. Great places to hang out, plenty of space in the kitchen, dining room, and living room. Appreciated the layout to have 2 family units with one bedroom sort of removed with its own bathroom. Loved the chicken experience, our kids had a blast gathering eggs for breakfast every morning! Kitchen very well stocked with almost everything we needed! Close to grocery stores. Very close to Starved Rock State Park which was great for family activities every day. Great experience! Would recommend and stay here again.
