The property was great and nearby local establishments were very inviting and variety of food was nice. Check-in was not good, I never received property resort number of the villa or code to get in, I had to call the owner of the property to get all of the information needed.

Great Hideout from Winter Storm
Overall property was great. Fireplace in master did not work and the tv in master is very outdated. Had to move guest bedroom tv into master for picture clarity and sound. Unit does not have Tupperware or foil/saran wrap so need your own for leftovers. But overall a very pleasant stay.

Perfect for your getaway!
My wife and I booked this property for a hiking getaway for 2 nights. We absolutely loved it and highly recommend it Updated with a rustic feel. Extremely clean with plenty of room and amenities, and only a short walk to Grand Bear Lodge if you prefer something local for dinner at Jack's Place which hit the spot. Best yet was the proximity to the trails of Starved Rock, which is simply accessed right across E. 8th Road. We would definitely bring our kids as well as there is plenty of exploring to do whether outdoors or at the lodge. A perfect stay and will definitely look to book here again on our next trip!

Perfect stay with friends for a hiking weekend!
Plenty of room for 5 adults, and had room for two more. Clean, cozy and convenient spot for hiking the State Park. We were able to walk to the park and short drive to dinner. Hoping to stay again.

We had two couples in our group- this location was perfect for us! We hiked all day at Starved Rock and Matthiessen State Park, then enjoyed dinner in Utica and cocktails with cards at the townhouse. We will be back!

Clean, homey, updated, well decorated and stocked villa! Stayed with my parents with my 2 kids, ages 5 & 1 and it was PERFECT! Outdoor space, 2 levels, well stocked kitchen, plenty of space to play and chat inside. Checkin easy, Martin great to work with-prompt with responses, no complaints here! Cannot wait to make this an annual trip.

It was comfortable and adequate.
The property was fine . . . the beds, bedding, bathrooms, and kitchen were all fine. The kitchen was a bit sparse. There was salt and pepper, and that was it. No oil, no sugar, no sweetener, no coffee, nothing else. There were no large bowls whatsoever in which to toss a salad. The other challenge was the WiFi. The password was right where the owner said it would be. However, we failed to connect it, after trying repeatedly.

Martin was VERY good at responding once we checked in. We had trouble with internet & he called Comcast out very quickly. There was no property manual in the unit which would have been helpful. Check out instructions were not posted in the unit & we had to contact Martin for details. The unit was wonderful for our family & we like the Starved Rock area. Large letter or number signs at road entries would be helpful to find the various units.
