I'm familiar with housing options at Starved Rock and this was quiet, private, clean, spacious, conveniently located and kept in good condition. The outfitted kitchen worked nicely and our host welcomed us with the Ring Door Bell when we were figuring out the lock. Very nice place that I would reserve again.

Great Family weekend

Great Family weekend

Our family of 6 had a wonderful 2 day stay! The resort offers a few things on site, and the state park and town had loads of fun things to do. The villas was sparkling clean. The kitchen was well stocked with all of the cooking things we needed to make our own meals. I would suggest you arrive before dark, no streetlights made it difficult to read building numbers etc, but we figured it out. Our host responded quickly to our questions during our stay. Price point was cheaper than most hotel options for our large family, with much more included in the stay!

Great Last Minute Getaway

Great Last Minute Getaway

We had a great time during our weekend near Starved Rock. We arrived late in the evening and were happy that the directions to the villa and how to access it were very clear. The villa is very spacious. While there were only five us, it would easily fit nine guests comfortably as advertised. We chose to eat our meals out during our weekend away, but there was plenty of room to accommodate guests between the table and breakfast bar. We loved getting cozy on the couch with comfy blankets while watching a movie as a family. The villa is in a great location. It’s across the street from the St. Louis Canyon parking lot and just down the street from the Starved Rock Visitor Center. It was nice to be so close for our hiking and kayak adventures. We enjoyed some delicious meals out locally. Uptown Grill in nearby Lasalle was a treat. We enjoyed dinner at Skoogs, followed by ice cream at Bruce & Ollie’s. Breakfasts at The Country House and Cindy’s on 39 hit the spot. We look forward to returning to the area and would love to stay in this villa again. Thank you for sharing your great property!

Easy check in process but I would recommend checking in before night time. We had a hard time finding the unit since it was pretty dark when we arrived. The place was very spacious and nice. The water was a little cloudy so we had to bottled water to cook all of our food. The upstairs sliding door in the masters bedroom was not working. The state park was 2 minutes away from the place which made it convenient. Overall, it was a good experience and will definitely come back!

Our stay at this location was excellent! The pictures don’t do the place justice. It was very spacious and clean. It was me, my spouse and our three boys. It was more than enough room for all of us. Plenty of towels and extra linens. It is right next to the Grand Bear lodge which offers a mini golf course, restaurant, and arcade. They also have an indoor water park, but due to COVID, the water park is operating at limited capacity and only lodge guests can visit. Arcade, restaurant, and mini golf is open to the public though. Overall nice relaxing visit. Would definitely recommend.

Relaxing Girlfriends Getaway

Relaxing Girlfriends Getaway

Just spent 3 fun filled and relaxing days in this nicely appointed unit. It is literally down the street from Starved Rock State Park. We really enjoyed fishing within the park and the scenic hikes. Dined at the historic Starved Rock Lodge and Tangled Roots Restaurants. Both restaurants served up delicious meals with excellent service! This unit has everything you need to relax- 2 fireplaces that are easy to turn on and a nice sized Jacuzzi. The beds were sooo comfortable! Looking forward to returning for some winter fun!
