This was a breeze! Communication was easy. The place looked even better in person than the pictures. We really enjoyed the fireplace and all the coffee options. It was a quick 5 minute drive to both local state parks, so this is the perfect place if you are looking to be close to nature. And check out was easy, which we appreciated!

Stayed here with two other couples for my husband’s 60th. It was perfect. Lots of room & very spacious kitchen for our “family dinner” that we cooked. Lots of small touches make this rental extra special like spices, ear plugs by the bed, bath salts for the tubs, ect… Out of all of our rentals this has been our favorite.

Plenty of space for 9 women who enjoyed the cabin and the witches walk in Utica. Plenty of bathrooms for all of us to get all “witched up”. Loved all the kitchen amenities and the big dining room tables. We did all our own food and played games at the large table. Loved that we could have multiple cars as people were coming from different places and at different times.

The cabin is clean and has anything you need for cooking and relaxing with your family or friends. It’s close to Starved Rock park - the St. Louis Canyon trailhead is literally right across the street! Bathrooms had extras like makeup removal towelettes, flossers, & disposable hand towels. I would definitely rent again with a group

Even with the abundance of photos that are posted on the listing, this cabin still offered pleasant surprises and whimsy. The bird watching that you can partake in from the rear deck…what?!! A group of turkeys even paid us a visit!!!!The cabin is so well appointed…we overshopped. You truly only need to bring the food that you want to eat. The coffee and tea selections had something for everyone and I was with 3 senior women who have very particular tastes! Each bedroom is so well laid out that you’ll have trouble choosing which one is most ideal. The primary bedroom and the larger bedroom both have deep soaking jacuzzis. The TV in front of the tub spaces…great touch. The streaming and cable was not difficult to operate. The stay was completely pleasant and the locals were very kind and helpful. You can walk to starved rock from here!

A wonderful stay!

We were so pleasantly surprised by the accommodations in this home. The owner clearly went above and beyond to make sure all needs were met. Whether it was games for the kids, extra blankets for the beds, toiletries that may be needed in a plethora of coffee accessories for the coffee lovers like ourselves. Owner was very responsive when we could not figure out the Internet situation and would reply to messages immediately. Would definitely stay there again and hoping to book in the near future!

Perfect!

Our family - ages 5 through 78 - had so much fun at this cabin! The vibe was comfortable, attractive, and welcoming. The cabin had every supply we could have wanted and more. We cooked and served with ease and had so much space to do a variety of activities. Everyone loved the big bar-height table that sat 10! The hanging light above it created great atmosphere for games, crafts and meals. When the family was out playing at the water park or Starved Rock State park, those who stayed back enjoyed quiet, peace, and beauty by the fireside and with the companionship of our dogs. Corresponding with the owner was efficient, friendly, and helpful. We hope to come back next year!

This cabin/condo was the perfect spot for my siblings and cousin to gather for a family wedding. It was very comfortable and well equipped. Our host was very responsive whenever we had a question. Check in and check out procedures were simple and clear. And the view of the river was a nice bonus. I would not hesitate to book again if I am in the area.
