Enjoyed family time with our adult kids, hiking into starved rock, access just across the highway!!! Lots of eating out and fun to visit in your home!

The unit was comfy & cozy. We felt at home. It was also clean & the kitchen is fully stocked with just about anything you need for cooking. Beds were comfortable. At night there wasn't a sound to be heard. Very peaceful. We will definitely come back in the future.

Unfortunately this stay was not what we expected. To start off, our first issue was the cleanliness of the unit. Our weekend getaway was planned to celebrate our little ones 7th birthday. Because of some health issues recently , we decided to do something small and just get out of the city for a bit. I chose this unit because it had a jacuzzi in the main room. The plan was to make it his room and let him have the tub and just have some silly fun. When we turned on the water, it kept coming out dark grey. Soon after we realized that the Jets themselves had mold. We attempted to clean them ourselves , but they were just too dirty. I contacted the property manager about the issue , who first told me that the tub and Jets are cleaned after every visit. I then sent him photos and told him the mold would state otherwise. He THEN replied that he just saw his wife clean the Jets last months. So which is it? Are they cleaned after every stay, or by his wife once a month? Either way , mold takes a little bit of time to grew , and the tub/Jets haven’t been cleaned for a long time. Our kids also found a random dirty sock in one of the toy baskets. Lastly , the sofa bed has a sign that says do not open. Which means two of our guest had to sleep on the bedroom floor. Which is absolutely not okay , because the listing says the sofa bed counts as a sleeping area. It’s not okay that the tub and one of the beds were not of use, and the property manager wasn’t concerned with my issues.

Grand Bear Resort was a perfect place for my family and I! We had privacy and plenty of room for everyone in my family to eat home-cooked meals, play games, and sleep comfortably. The children had a great time riding their scooters outside and playing put-put at the miniature golf course. It was quiet and beautiful, and Bernie was very helpful and kind. I would love to come and stay again! Thank you!

Perfect Winter Getaway
We had an absolutely wonderful time staying at this property! We were looking for a quick winter getaway close to home and this was the perfect spot. It is so close to both Starved Rock State Park and Matthiessen State Park. We went on several gorgeous winter hikes to see some beautiful frozen waterfalls in the canyons of these parks and this house was a nice and cozy oasis to return to at the end of the day. There was plenty of room for our small family and the kitchen was well stocked to prepare a nice warm meal after a day in the snow and ice. Check in and check out were both smooth and easy and our host was very helpful and always available to answer any of our questions. We would definitely stay here again and we plan to return in the spring and summer months for more outdoor adventures!

Great space near excellent hiking
We’ve been to the area many times. This is a great place to stay a few nights and enjoy the charm. The pull out couch was not working which should be mentioned as people planned to use that as a bed.

Great location, nice comfy place
Well-kept unit super close to Starved Rock and other parks. Short drive to great dining and bars in Utica. Being an end unit provided extra natural light and was a bonus. Would recommend to friends who wanted to spend a few days in the area and have that extra space and convenience of a full kitchen.

Woodside Retreat
We had a relaxing stay. The property was just as described. We could have used some additional kitchen utensils and garbage bags, but overall, our stay was very nice. The property manager was available and responded quickly with any questions we had. We will stay in this area again.

Vintage Illinois Wine Festival
This property was exactly as advertised. We had 2 couples staying for Vintage Illinois Wine Festival. The second night another couple we know who came to the festival stayed with us also. It was spotlessly clean. Everything we needed was provided. There were games for down time. The bedrooms were clean, comfortable and quiet. The layout was very good. During coffee in the morning we had both turkeys and peacocks strolling through the back yard. Highly recommend for families also. Other couples from our wine club visited and they plan to book in this area next year also. We will definitely be back next year! Thank You!

Perfect for large family getaway
The send-off of three of our large group overseas was made more special by the spacious kitchen, extra beds, and convenient, clean bathrooms. Well-appointed, sturdy furniture, kitchen stocked with great dishes and full-sized refrigerator among the highlights. Woodsy area and great parking were uplifting for our cold weekend. Thanks for the games; we used them! Wish there had been a few extra trash liners and rolls of toilet paper for our large crowd. Wish there were more lodges like this around our area.

The unit was very nice but poor anemities and uncooperative owner.
Air-conditioning not working in the main building. Water park closed. Smoke alarm kept going off in our unit. When we contacted the owner we were told we would have to handle it ourselves. He said to knock it off the ceiling with anything we could get to reach it which was pretty much impossible because the ceilings were vaulted. He said he didn’t care if we damaged anything. He was 2 hours away and didn’t want to make the trip. The unit itself was very nice.

We loved it; worked out very well!
This property matched our expectations based on what we had read online (no disappointments at all). We appreciated the adequate supply of glassware, utensils, etc on the kitchen. We did have one adult sleeping on the LR pull out couch and that wasn't the best, but it is very hard to find comfortable pull-outs (probably best for children). Appreciated the three parking spots, also

Unit was quiet and good location. Nice to have drapes in dinning and living room.
Took my kids and grandkids for the second year. We enjoy the hiking area around the area. Sam's pizza in Oglesby was great. The little pizza stand isn't anything fancy. Did excellent hiking at Matthiessen State Park. It's not as touristy as Starved Rock.

The home was very clean and cozy. We are a family of 4 and it was perfect size for us. We all enjoyed have all that space for our selves. We didn't make into the indoor water park so we can't say anything about it, but the home was perfect. Definitely will do it again.
