5.0 / 5.0
Great place with all the necessities. Quiet and relaxing place. Great communication with Robert. Easy access. The Grand Bear Resort has a nice little mini golf, corn hole and outdoor bar area which was nice to hang out with friends and family. Starved Rock Park was a quick drive. Utica was a cute little town with many good food options. Would recommend staying here - and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!

Rented the townhome to celebrate my 50th birthday. We stayed with another couple and had plenty of room to relax and have a great time. We are already planning our return trip to bike the I&M Canal and see the Fall colors.
5.0 / 5.0
The villa was very nice. It fit our large family of 7 perfectly. The rooms were large, the jet tub was nice. The kitchen was fully stocked. It was nice having the washer and dryer and vacuum/broom handy as well. It just really felt like home away from home. The only down fall is putt putt is expensive ($53 for 6 ppl), but it was a fun course and you have to pay for the water park. We ended up driving into Sheridan to the Purates Cay Waterpark cause ut was almost half the cost. Kids liked the playground Grand Bear. Drinks at the patio bar were expensive. There is an awesome bar right down the road called Ano Del Gallo. Food was awesome and so were the drinks and Staff. Right up the road was also the little downtown of Utica. Great little strip of stores. Starved Rock and Mathessen park are a short hop down the road as well. We really enjoyed our stay here.
5.0 / 5.0
My husband, son, father in law and I loved saying here! It was in the perfect location. Close distance to great restaurants in town (we absolutely loved Bruce and Ollie's & Skoogs) and all the nearby parks to hike (St. Louis canyon, matthiesen, buffalo rock and starved rock). The cabin was very spacious and enough room for everyone. My only critique is that the listing states there are 2 parking spots right next to the cabin however, the two parking spots were taken when we arrived. It wasn't really a big deal because we still parked close. I would just suggest maybe marking the parking spaces so they are designated for each cabin. Other than that everything was perfect! We can't wait to come back!

Experience was great. Wonderful place for family get-together. My nieces rented a villa a few doors from us and it made for a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.
3.0 / 5.0
nice house, no water park
The villa worked out well for 2 adults and 3 children. Kitchen was well equipped, but two left burners would only light with a match. Several screens needed repair. You advertise that the grand bear indoor water park is on the property; but fail to mention you can't get in. Day passes are only available for LaSalle county residents.
We went to the Pirates Cay indoor water park in Sheridan (about 30 minutes away). Very nice.
5.0 / 5.0
Very Nice Stay
Stayed at the villa with my children and it was such a nice visit. Property was clean and the check in process was seamless. Great directions helped get us right to the unit. Units are super close to a lot of great hiking in the area. Unit's location was also nice and private, backing up to basically nothing.
5.0 / 5.0
Great location! End Unit! Clean and comfortable.
A wonderful and clean townhome to stay in. The beds were really comfortable!!! If you are spending the evenings with more than 5 people, pack some bag/folding chairs or bean bags chairs, as the kitchen chairs are not comfortable for long

Just what we needed
My family and I had a great stay in this villa. It is extremely spacious and had everything we needed. The location was perfect for hiking at starved rock. We will definitely stay again!

Nice
The stay was nice the villa was clean. Just a few things.. cannot use the pool or amenities of resort… would’ve loved to know that the town is basically closed Monday thru Wednesday… like literally closed, breakfast, I’ve cream shops etc…
The villa could use a blender as well, not a deal breaker but would be nice.

Wonderful place to stay!
We absolutely loved this property. It’s clean and nicely decorated. It’s convenient and close to the parks. There is a lot of space to visit; we had 5 people and it was great to be able to enjoy the together time. The kitchen is well stocked. The owners are responsive. The only two downsides were a broken ceiling fan in the master bedroom and a coffee pot with hard water clogging the lines. The owner tried to ship a new coffee pot to us but it didn’t arrive in time. That’s okay, though, we made it work!! We definitely will stay again.

Second time staying!
This was our second time staying at this property — the owner is friendly, the location is ideal, and the house is well-stocked.
5.0 / 5.0
Convenient and Spacious!
The unit is an end-unit so you have more windows (and more light) than you would have in an interior unit. The host sent instructions via text and email and was friendly. The location is close to the main entrance of Starved Rock State Park and within walking distance of the trailhead to St Louis Canyon. We enjoyed our stay and have already booked our return!

Stay during Pandemic
We were really concerned about cleaning issues because of the virus--in fact, we didn't think at times that we should come. But we did, the place was beautiful and clean. The only glitches came from all the folks hiking who were not wearing masks. But we were very pleased with the villa and would recommend it friends with high marks! Thank you!

Great villa in a great location
This is a great, spacious villa in a prime location right across from Starved Rock state park. The kitchen had plenty of pans and dishes for cooking and the house was clean and comfortable. I would recommend a few extra details about location as we had trouble finding the villas behind the main resort and had to ask at the lodge. Finding the right building in the dark was tricky. But once we were there we had a great stay. Our only disappointment was not being able to turn on the fireplaces at the end of cool autumn days hiking. Hopefully the property gets the pilot lights lit again soon. Overall we had a great time and would definitely stay here again.
