Very nice home. In newer area of the condo development; definitely a plus over other units we rented. Starved Rock area wasn't as family friendly for little ones as we hoped.

Very large rooms and comfortable furnishings. Really enjoyed the whirlpool tub and the views from the balcony. Only downside was being able to hear the TV and music from the unit next door.

The Villa was fully stocked if we wanted to cook. The place was secluded but yet close to both Starved Rock and Matthiessen park! Enjoyed our weekend! Owner was in communication with us whenever we had a question.

Momfest 2021 was a success!
No complaints. The unit had an unusable balcony, but we didn't need it, and it didn't spoil the fun!

Perfect location for starved rock
We enjoyed a two night stay near starved rock for a mid-week getaway. The property had everything we needed and we were comfortable and cool inside even though it was very hot outside! There was one issue with dirty sheets being left on the pullout couch, but the owner checked in during our stay and apologized for that when I mentioned it and said she would address it with the cleaning team in the future.

Spacious/clean
The property was well kept and clean. We arrived and were surprised to have a beautiful note and wine as a birthday gift ie reason for our mini vacation. Zina was helpful with the whole process and replied timely to messages and txt. Definitely recommend.

Excellent
I've stayed at this cabin before and both times were incredible. Our 1st trip was cut short due to severe weather but coming back the stay was super enjoyable. Clean cabin with full amenities and some. It was a great place to stay and sleep in between exploring Starved Rock the surrounding parks.

Comfortable, good, clean accommodations
Stayed for a weekend of hiking in the area. Lots of space for two couples and 3 kids. Only suggestion I have would be to have a few more towels.

Beautiful property
We absolutely enjoyed our stay! Check in was super simple, and the owners checked in with us to ensure things were going well. The villa was immaculate, modern, & beautiful. When we arrived we were greeted with a bottle of wine, & a tray of candies for the kids. We did not need for anything! Not only were the basics provided (dish soap, laundry soap, etc.), but there was even a playpen for babies, & toys for older children. This was especially helpful to our group, which included a 3 month old child. Definitely recommend this property, especially for the price.

Had a nice , relaxing stay !!! The grounds were beautiful and well kept .
This was the ideal location, just minutes away from Starve Rock Park. The home was equipped with DVD player and movies to view. Really appreciated the balcony view in each bedroom. We plan to come back soon

Great place.
I had really great time with my friends and family. The villa was very clean and had everything. Even the owner left a champagne for us because it was a new year. Additionally, there are so many activities to do around. The indoor waterpark, the resort has very cute. I would definitely recommend this place
