Wonderful stay! The grounds where we stayed were the perfect location and very safe, family friendly. The home itself was clean, cutely decorated, and had everything we needed. Joanna was very quick to respond to any questions I had. She even let us have an earlier check-in so we could hit the ground running at Starved Rock! We would definitely stay again! No need to look anywhere else, stay here!

This place was just as described and the location was perfect. Being near the big resort, we were able to play at the water park, playground on site and had a round of mini golf. The location was super close to Starved Rock. The townhouse was very roomy, very clean and well stocked kitchen and bedrooms were very comfortable. If we come back to this area, I would have no hesitation to staying here again! Joanna was also very responsive to questions and inquiries!

We rented this property for our daughter’s wedding at Starved Rock Lodge. The location was perfect. The villa was very clean and accommodated our family very nicely. Loved the decor and homey feeling. Great place. Would highly recommend.
Thank you!

I had an issue, not realizing that my payment was in two parts, and the issue was that I had to check in several times, unaware that I had a payment due. Johanna was quite gracious and ignored the fact that i was late when I asked for an "extra.". She not only provided it, but decided to pay for it herself. Mike

We loved our cozy stay at this Utica hideaway! The amenities were perfect and everyone loved huddling around the oversized table for yummy meals made in the state of the art kitchen and game night once we cleaned.
My only complaint is we didn’t stay long enough!
We hope to return annually.
Loved this location

Pictures do not do this stay justice! Wonderful location (literally a five minute drive to the visitor center), great amenities, and very cozy for how large the entire villa was! Communication with the owner of the property was very easy and she responded very quickly! 100% would stay here again. The only disappointing thing is my vacation wasn't longer!

Weekend getaway
Rented this villa for a weekend getaway to starved rock. We had 5 adults and a 2 and 3 year old. The villa offered the right amount of space and amenities for our needs (kitchen, multiple bathrooms and bedrooms, even a washer and dryer). The location is close to the park as well as the Bear Lodge where they have a n outdoor bar/restaurant and an indoor cafe. We loved our stay!

Starved Rock getaway
My husband and I had a nice three night stay in the Starved Rock area. It's only a 2 hour drive for us and there is plenty of hiking and horses to ride. We stayed in this nice 2BR, 2Bath townhome located behind the Grand Bear resort. It was clean and had everything we needed. The location was near two awesome state parks and we visited Utica, Ottawa, and Lasalle to eat. All cute towns.

Second stay here!
This was a return visit to the area and this location is close to all the awesome parks and hiking trails. A little trouble with the lock system but that was resolved quickly. The dishwasher was wonky but functioned, the beds were super comfy and there was plenty of space for us to gather and play games in the evening.

Excellent place for 7 adults/teens to have bridal party activities for a low-key weekend away. So close to starved rock and little downtown Utica area with a winery, pubs, and neat shops.

Host was extremely accommodating in all aspects and the place was as advertised. Very quiet and amazing atmosphere for the whole trip. Would highly recommend to all!

What a hidden gem! We can’t believe these lovely rustic cozy condos are so close to Starved Rock!
We had a truly relaxing time, near beautiful nature, and enjoying togetherness, the nearby shops and sightseeing, and the kids playing recreational games in the big field right outside!
We recommend getting the walkthrough directions your first time directly via phone call, but once you do that, driving back behind the Lodge and around the bends to the site is a breeze.
