We loved this spacious, quiet property. We enjoyed our stay very much. Several options of movies and games were provided, which was great. We mentioned that the shower heads needed work, but otherwise, there were no problems. The space seemed clean. We definitely would return!

Great Getaway for Family

This was a great place to stay, super close to 3 state parks and a resort with plenty of outdoor and indoor activities for family of all ages. Our host, Tom and Team made sure we had everything we needed and were super responsive to all communication. The place had plenty of room for us to spread out and was nice and quiet for sleeping.

We saw some earwigs and were killing them so I think a pest control visit is in order. The king bed was very hard and not comfortable. The water in the bathroom when running down the sink smelled awful. Other than that the stay was geat the environment was cool and the property managemnrt team was informative quick and very nice.

A great all-around experience. Lot's of room to relax, a nice big kitchen with a breakfast bar, and all a stone's throw from Starved Rock. I loved the balcony off the bedroom and the jacuzzi. The Grand Bear lodge has a great bar as well. Great restaurant options between Utica, Peru and Ottawa, or venture over to the Starved Rock state park lodge restaurant.

Great property , great location. Best cabin experience.

Cabin was clean and had anything we needed for our stay. Great amenities and perfect location that was near fishing, hiking and lovely views of nature. Upon arrival easy check in. This property was definitely bigger than we expected. We had amazing views of the starry sky from each balcony. It was a calm and serene trip. We will definitely be staying here again in the near future. Tom was a excellent host. If your looking for a five star rental this is definitely the right choice.
