We stayed at Martin’s townhouse for a quick family getaway near Starved Rock. The home was clean, quiet, and just as described. The owner was responsive when we had some questions. We would happily stay here again.

We’ve stayed at this cabin twice this summer, both weeks the cabin was very clean and the host has open communication and answered my questions quickly. The cabin location is perfect! It’s an easy walk to the playground or the main Grand Bear building for dining or swimming. We’re already planning our third trip back to this cabin!

Comfortable, clean and well stocked! Close to hiking and town. So nice to be able to take our dog too!

Well kept and had the amenities we wanted- including kitchen ware. Great that it is an end unit for light and by parking. We appreciated being able to bring our pups and previous pet owners were careful (no issues with marking or smells).

We really enjoyed our stay. Everything was clean and I loved the decorations, made it feel like I was actually staying in a cabin. I will definitely come back.

We enjoyed the location being so close to the parks and trails, and staying on the resort property was convenient for restaurants and the arcade. Communication with Martin was great! We did have pest issues... Thousands of tiny ants in the kitchen and earwigs all over the place, but they came and sprayed while we were there and were generous as a result. I would stay with them again.

The condo was very large, and the furniture was pretty cool.
The unit is showing its age in the walls and bathroom areas.
We had a problem getting into the unit. This was the only time booking a VRBO that the building number and unit number were not on my email. The address given was the same as many other buildings. It took 1 1/2 hrs. to finally get into the unit. I had to access my VRBO in-box and download a document to find the information. The main problem was the poor phone service in the area.

Wonderful condo. Clean and spacious. Host was gracious and quick to respond to help us locate the unit. The condos all look alike. The host forgot to share the unit # with initial unit description/location. Definitely would recommend and we will return.

We had a wonderful time relaxing this weekend. The condo was large and comfortable. The kitchen as well stocked to make our food prep easier. It's only a mile from Starved Rock. The manager responded quickly and happily. We'd visit here again. Thank you!

We had a wonderful weekend. The weather was amazing (which always helps). The villa was perfect for our stay. It was equipped with everything we needed for an enjoyable stay.

Our family really enjoyed staying at the villa. Has a cabin feel. Love the decor. Nice open plan, real close to both Starved Rock and Mathissen Park. Also stores are minutes drive. We plan to go again next year. The only thing..if you have toddles or mobile babies, keep them away from fireplace glass, it gets really hot. We switched it off and no problem.

Spacious, clean villa with lots of kitchen amenities. Many beds for family to spread out and great table and bar to feed our group and enjoy board games. Sheets were available, but it was helpful to have extra pillows and blankets. Easy three minute drive to Starved Rock Lodge and trails! Additional family stayed at Grand Bear Lodge and had access to the water park which was a two minute walk from the villa. Perfect set-up for a family weekend!

This property is one of our favorites. It is very cozy and has everything you need for a weekend away. The dog friendly option is what keeps us coming back. Great location with lots of options to do. Martin is a wonderful host. We will be back again soon!

Recommend bring own pillow if you are picky about your pillows. My husband liked the flat pillow that were provided while I prefer a fluffy pillow. :)

Great stay overall but will add that shower upstairs would not drain, shower head needs replaced and water quality was not drinkable.

Our family had a wonderful vacation together. We appreciated being able to bring our dog with us. The villa was clean and had a well stocked kitchen. A couple of extra blankets and pillows would have been nice though. The onsite washer and dryer was great. Leaving with clean laundry was a definite perk. The owner is very responsive to questions. Thank you for a relaxing stay!

Excellent place to stay for any events happening in downtown Utica. We appreciated the spacious Villa and being able to bring our dogs. Plenty of green space around the property for walks and the owner was more than accommodating for our last minute guests. We will definitely be back!
