Spacious Property
Would stay here again. Reasonably priced, with plenty of room to spread out for a two bedroom condo. Easy access to Starved Rock State Park and the Illinois River for boating.

Had a great time
The villa was very nice. It fit our large family of 7 perfectly. The rooms were large, the jet tub was nice. The kitchen was fully stocked. It was nice having the washer and dryer and vacuum/broom handy as well. It just really felt like home away from home. The only down fall is putt putt is expensive ($53 for 6 ppl), but it was a fun course and you have to pay for the water park. We ended up driving into Sheridan to the Purates Cay Waterpark cause ut was almost half the cost. Kids liked the playground Grand Bear. Drinks at the patio bar were expensive. There is an awesome bar right down the road called Ano Del Gallo. Food was awesome and so were the drinks and Staff. Right up the road was also the little downtown of Utica. Great little strip of stores. Starved Rock and Mathessen park are a short hop down the road as well. We really enjoyed our stay here.

Short father's day weekend getaway
My husband, son, father in law and I loved saying here! It was in the perfect location. Close distance to great restaurants in town (we absolutely loved Bruce and Ollie's & Skoogs) and all the nearby parks to hike (St. Louis canyon, matthiesen, buffalo rock and starved rock). The cabin was very spacious and enough room for everyone. My only critique is that the listing states there are 2 parking spots right next to the cabin however, the two parking spots were taken when we arrived. It wasn't really a big deal because we still parked close. I would just suggest maybe marking the parking spaces so they are designated for each cabin. Other than that everything was perfect! We can't wait to come back!

Very Nice Stay
Stayed at the villa with my children and it was such a nice visit. Property was clean and the check in process was seamless. Great directions helped get us right to the unit. Units are super close to a lot of great hiking in the area. Unit's location was also nice and private, backing up to basically nothing.

Great location! End Unit! Clean and comfortable.
A wonderful and clean townhome to stay in. The beds were really comfortable!!! If you are spending the evenings with more than 5 people, pack some bag/folding chairs or bean bags chairs, as the kitchen chairs are not comfortable for long
