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!
