Great Weekend Stay

A friend and I planned a weekend of outdoor winter hiking. This was a great place to make home base. Lots of space, clean, plenty of places to eat nearby, hot water, good shower pressure, tv reception, large table, chairs on small patio, washer and dryer. We didn’t need to use all of it, but if we had a longer stay or came with our family this would accommodate everyone.

Spacious, CLEAN, comfortable, relaxing

I loved staying here so much! It was SO spacious and tidy and clean and just felt so refreshing to stay in. I felt like I could do a cartwheel in every room. The host was so helpful and responsive as well. I was there for a wedding with my spouse but I plan on going back with the kids because the space was so comfy, clean and kid friendly! The kitchen is so nice and I’d love to cook a family meal in it.

Great space for a Fall babymoon

We booked a last minute stay for a quick babymoon getaway. This was a great location close to Starved Rock. The villa is super spacious, clean, comfortable and more than enough space for just the two of us. We will definitely come back and bring family. Thank you!
