Fall Getaway Fun
We knew we loved the area and had stayed in another cabin previously but this one was far nicer. Upon arrival we could tell the property was cared for and much cleaner. We all loved the cute fall decor that gave us all the homey vibes. The kitchen had a great selection of cookware. We will definitely be back and chowing this property!

Well equipped and a lot of space
Very large home on two levels. Lower level: kitchen, living, bathroom, washer, and dryer. Upper level: bedrooms and bathroom. We stayed 3 nights and found everything new, well designed and in almost untouched state. The owner provided several non-stick Tefal pans. It was quiet and we could sleep well. We recommend the place and would like to come back.

Perfect Stay!
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!
