We were given the wrong key code for the house which didn’t start our trip on the best note but Katie called and gave us the correct code. The house was a nice 30 minute walk to the downtown and 20 minute drive to Starved Rock State Park. The house appeared clean on the surface but after a closer look there was crumbs on the floor in the kitchen, dust under the beds and a dust covered face mask behind one of the beds that was left from a previous guest. Small brown ants were on the kitchen table and counters. Katie brought us one ant trap, which was nice but didn’t help much. The fridge was old/rusty and leaked water on the bottom shelf. The house has a lot of potential. Katie was very quick to respond with any questions.

Everything was clean, cozy, and comfortable! My only suggestion would be handholds in the tub/shower and maybe a little railing on the two steps.

This place has a lot of character! The amenities and decorations were really nice. Unfortunately, there were a lot of spiders throughout the entire home and in the cupboards and cabinets.
