We had an amazing weekend stay! The place was clean and spacious for us! It had everything we needed! We will for sure be back! Loved the town of Utica! They had just set up their Mills Street with outdoor dining and we had a wonderful time! The town is very family friendly and we will be bringing the kids with us next time! We hiked all of the trails in Starved Rock and most of the trails at Matthiessen as well! Definitely recommend eating at Bruce and Ollie’s and Skoogs! Thank you so much for our amazing stay! We will definitely be back!

We have stayed at several of the cabins in this complex and this one is our favorite. The owner is very responsive to communication and handles any issues (not that there will be many, if any) quickly. Thank you for another great stay. We will be back again.

We had the best time! House was perfect with a stocked kitchen, bedding, and essentials. We ranged in ages from 6-70 and everyone had fun. The house was a good size to hold us all (5 adults and 5 kids 6-17). Bedrooms were big and 2 full baths were a plus. Walked to the water park and right across the street from the St Louis Canyon parking lot to walk the trail. Short drive to Starved Rock and Mattiessen State Parks. Bruch at Starved Rock Lodge-YUM!!!!! You won't be disappointed!

We enjoyed staying at this property and we’re pleasantly pleased on arrival at how spacious the unit was. The unit was clean and there was plenty of room for the six of us. In the living area there was only a sofa and a loveseat, seating for 5 even though there were beds for 10. The balcony in the master suite showed some decay and did not look safe to use. We were disappointed at how far the cabins were from the town of Lasalle where the wedding was held that we were there to attend. I thought the unit was in Lasalle, but found it was in Lasalle county. Might have been my oversight when I booked. Overall, we were happy staying here, it was a good value for the price we paid.

it's hard to find at night, even after you know the way, so be sure to come prepared. inside is very nice. evrything worked except for the wi-fi, and that will probably be remedied very soon since we made the property owner aware. cozy fireplace, kids loved the spa tub, just the right amount of space for 10 people. shampoo and conditioner provided for those who forgot, as well as a bit of non perishable food to tide you over if needing a snack upon arrival.

This hosts premier rating is well-deserved. The property was spotless, seasonally decorated, and included all the little details such as toiletries, spices, coffee, snuggly blankets, board games, equipment so we could utilize the mini-golf course, and so much more. When trying to find the unit after dark (as we did) look for plaques on second floor balconies which contain the building letters. There is one letter plaque on each building.

The villa was a great size with areas we could be together and spaces where a girl could be alone. Communication was great. Would definitely rent again!

This is a very clean property, and nicer in person than the photos. There is ample supplies for cooking, and a decent supply of staples like flour and olive oil, salt and pepper, etc. I liked that there was good hand soap dispensers at each sink, and hand lotion too. There was tasteful seasonal decor here and there, but not too much. A good selection of games and kids books are on hand. The location is super close to Starved Rock and Mattheison. The unit can be a little hard to find if coming in after dark, but it all gets figured out. Decent playground on site, and mini golf too.

This space was perfect for our girls retreat weekend. This was our second time staying here and it did not disappoint. The owner was responsive to questions and addressed the lack of a working coffee pot promptly and effectively. Thank you for a safe, clean space for us to retreat to each year. We look forward to our next stay here.

The villa is nice and spacious.

It is close to all the state parks that we hiked in. My one complaint is the carpet is torn. I am not a fan of carpet because it holds dirt. Other than that, it was a great place for our family to stay.

Room for Improvement & Take Your Indoor Shoes with You

Room for Improvement & Take Your Indoor Shoes with You

While my husband and I did enjoy our visit to Starved Rock, the Villa served the purpose for quietness and a place to stay. My overall thoughts/suggestions are that Villa needs improvement. To begin with, when my husband and I arrived the smoke detector was beeping and needed batteries (there were none in the alarm). Housekeeping brought 2 which we put in and solved this issue. Second: I noticed that there were no "welcome to the Villa letter and instructions" like most places you stay at: example-address and number to call/what to do if there's an emergency. It's a remote area... Third: Operating the TV's was a joke-especially upstairs when one remote was in one room and the other remote in the other room... Didn't know there was Comcast in the master bedroom until the 2nd/3rd day. Fourth: Went to make dinner the first night and noticed there were no plates, etc. Only to find out the next day that the dishwasher was never unloaded by housekeeping before we arrived and I refused to unload it given the steep housekeeping charge. Fifth: Put a fire extinguisher in the kitchen. Sixth: Replace the carpet like other people have mentioned. Last but not least, the tile floors needs more TLC before guests arrive. Anyone going in the future, take your INDOOR SHOES with you. Enjoy!

We had a great time in this Villa! It was very close to Starved Rock State Park where we attended a wedding. My sister and brother stayed in villas, too, and it was convenient for them and their families to come over to visit and work on the puzzle! The villa was clean and the beds were very comfortable and the linens and towels were high quality. It is in a peaceful location. The gas fireplace added a nice atmosphere and the kitchen had everything needed. Great villa, I would rent it again.
