Anniversary Getaway

We had an amazing stay! The property was extremely clean, easy to locate & had plenty of great amenities. One of our favorite things to use was the arcade machine! The jacuzzi tub & fireplaces were also amazing. We picked this property since it was so close to Starved Rock State Park! The property has a fun outdoor vibe to it & we loved every second of it. 10/10 would stay again!
