Nice Vintage Home in Run Down Neighborhood

The vintage home was very nice inside but the neighborhood was run-down and there was no off-street parking. The property was way too expensive for the location.

Beautiful Setting for a Bday Getaway

Elaine’s was a great place to celebrate a milestone birthday with friends! With four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and the option of a pull out couch and air mattress, we had room for multiple adults to be comfortable. The large and well-equipped kitchen and big dining room table were perfect for collaborating on meals and playing games. We enjoyed pizza from Fire on Fifth and day hikes at Starved Rock. We recommend Elaine’s for a group celebration or holiday!

Great Space for Groups

This property was exactly as pictured and described. The bedrooms and bathrooms are well-maintained, there were plenty of linens, and additional chairs in the dining room allowed all guests to comfortably sit for meals and entertainment. The kitchen is stocked with plenty of plates and glasses for a larger group. Overall, we had an excellent stay and highly recommend this property.

Wedding Weekend

Our daughter was getting married and we knew we needed to rent a lot of quality properties for friends and family. We trust Elaine as an amazing host and only rent from her when we visit LaSalle. The house was beautiful and well appointed with the perfect barn and comfort and historical charm. Elaine has thought of everything and even left fresh flowers on the table. The house was clean, comfortable, and fit our family and friends perfectly.

Nice!

The house was well maintained. Communication with Elaine was excellent. Beds were comfortable. Elaine’s had nice touches such as having some bottled water and chocolates out. That was sweet. Nice book with things to do, food options etc. Only downside was that neighborhood was not as well maintained as her house.

Amazing home near Starved Rock and Matthiessen!

Eleven of us (8 adults and 3 young children) stayed at Elaine’s home for a weekend or fun, laughter and hiking. The house was extremely clean and the beds were super cozy. The backyard was a perfect size to enjoy privacy, the fire pit and a game of catch. Elaine’s recommendation binder was so helpful and informative on the local restaurants, hiking and shopping. I would definitely recommend this vrbo to anyone staying in the area. My friends and I are already planning our next trip to Elaine’s home.
