First time at Starved Rock

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 😀

family vacation
The home was just right for our family gathering!

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

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.
