A Little Getaway
The Mill Street Suite was perfect for a short getaway. We really enjoy Utica’s small town charm and offerings. We were able to enjoy a relaxing afternoon on Mill Street, a nice dinner and a hike at Starved Rock.

Quick getaway from the city
Stayed overnight at Mill Street Suite while exploring Starved Rock and Mathiessen state parks. It was a cozy and comfortable experience in an extremely convenient location next to both state parks (just a few miles down the road) and on Mill Street next to several eating and drinking establishments. Went to Bruce and Ollie’s across the street for coffee, sandwiches, and ice cream multiple times during our stay. The suite was well appointed and updated with all the amenities anyone can need. And check in/check out was super simple. We will stay here again next time we are in the area. Highly recommended!

Even better than expected
I’ve got to start by saying, the pictures don’t do this place justice. It is much larger on the inside than I anticipated. The location is perfect, we got to listen to live music from right outside our windows. My daughter loved taking a bath and chilling by the fireplace. We checked out this morning, and we have already discussed trying to make this an annual trip. Really couldn’t ask for more, 10 out of 10 for sure!

Cute and convenient
Nice property and convenient to Starved Rock and for visiting Utica. Very clean! It would be nice to have window treatments on the arched windows as the street lights shine all night. Also important to note that you can hear bar music and patrons late at night. Bars state they close at 9 pm, but that wasn’t the case. I would recommend if you’re looking for a cozy and convenient place to stay.

Quaint Stay
Our stay at the Mill St. Suite is always a welcome respite from the road. We have stayed here multiple times and are always pleased with the cleanliness and amenities it offers. The host is friendly and quick to respond. The only hesitation in leaving a review is that we’d rather like to keep this little gem our secret!

Lovely Starved Rock Stay
Nothing negative to say. Super cleanly, great location right above the small downtown, super great time. Thank you!
Property was lovely. Tons of room and well appointed amenities.
My only criticism is the GunNews publication found on the entry table. this type of publication is totally inappropriate here!! Was a real turn off to say the least!!

Fall Trip
My husband and I love taking a fall trip to see the colors. Unfortunately we were to early this year but, we still enjoyed our stay and the beauty of Starved Rock and Mathison State Park. The suite was great , I’d say the only bad thing was climbing the stairs to it.

Weekend Getaway
Booked this property at the last minute for a quick get away. Had plans to hike Starved Rock. The property was perfectly located in Utica. No need to drive anywhere once there. Hope to visit this property again in the near future.
Really nice unit! Well appointed. Warm and cozy! Cute little town, and 5 minute drive to Starved Rock. Nice getaway!

Mill Street stay July 24'
This stay was planned very last minute, and we could not have been more pleased. The suite was beautiful and though it's above a restaurant/bar there was no noise. We hope to return for a longer stay.

Relaxing suite in the midst a small town.
The best place to be while visiting the local parks and hiking trails. The street below has various food, bar and coffee options. The rental was clean and cozy! Exactly as described and pictured. Very happy with our 3 night stay.
