The Villa was amazing! Downtown Utica was a couple miles away, Starved rock was just as close. Grand Bear lodge was also very nice. Our host was great. We can’t wait to come again!

First time at Starved Rock
Stayed here to hike at Starved rock. Was surprised how close it was. Very nice little town. Was very welcoming. Look forward to returning. Jacuzzi was a must after hiking all day.

Being in nature
One of the things that I liked about this property was that not only was it accessible to Starved Rock park, but the property itself was quite relaxing. The directions we received to find it we're also appreciated. I'm not sure we would've found it so quickly had we not received those instructions. The only thing I would say is that The pull out couch was not at all comfortable to sleep on. Of course, you can't find too many pull out sofas that are comfortable to sleep on 😀

Place of Peace
I really enjoyed our stay at this location. Beds were comfortable, jacuzzi was amazing, and just equipped with everything that we needed. The gentleman was nice enough to bring us extra pots since he seen us cooking and barbecuing. The grill on the site was not good it was too small for the amount of food we had but we worked it out lol. My only thing I would want is a screen for the patio doors downstairs bcuz it was a beautiful day so we wanted the doors open but mosquitoes and ants kept coming in. Overall I highly recommend this villa

Denny's villa at Grand Bear Resort was exactly what we needed for our group of 7! Plenty of space in the kitchen, family room & bedrooms. All kitchen accessories, hand & dish soap, bed linens and towels were provided. Beds were super comfortable! We're already planning to return & would highly recommend!

Starved Rock Fun!
My husband and I enjoyed a very comfortable stay at Denny’s place. Lots of room with a large fully stocked kitchen and very comfortable bed/pillows. We enjoyed several walks in Starved Rock State Park across the Street! Fantastic Labor Day Weekend!

Not what it appears
Internet didn’t work the whole time, only could get 1 tv to work, rental manager stopped responding to our issues like he just didn’t give a shit. Dirty vents, basically lipstick on a pig, coffee pot didn’t work (took over an hour to brew 1/2 a pot). Not worth the money.

Great townhouse in beautiful Starved Rock location.
Owner was absolutely amazing to work with. Property exceeded expectations, fully stocked kitchen, ample bedding, plenty of room to stretch out and relax for long weekend. Starved Rock has spectacular views, hiking, and local restaurants. Come visit, walk the paths, have lunch along the river and watch the soaring eagles.
