  The location was easy to find, home was clean, the owner willing answered any questions we had. We enjoyed hiking at the Starved Rock State Park, the weather was great for picnics. We would recommend it to friends and would return to the same location.

  We arrived at the cabin and everything was as we expected it; very clean and organized. It was fully equipped with everything we needed to prepare our meals (except groceries of course) and it even had a DVD player where our grand children watched movies and stayed cool for the 4 days we were there. We were also pleasantly surprised at the close distance from our cabin to the indoor water park were the kids spent the whole day enjoying themselves. We really recommend this place.

  The villa was very clean and roomy.The bedrooms were large and the beds comfortable.The kitchen had everything we needed and we cooked five meals there. We stayed for three nights at the resort. We went to the Enchanted Forest the kids ages 4 and 2 had a good time. We also went to Starved Rock state park to hike and had the Sunday brunch at Starved Rock Lodge it was delicious. The villa was just perfect. In the area I wish there was more to do or maybe an outdoor pool at the resort but we had a great time . The owner Susan was very helpful with ideas and refunded my deposit the very next day

  Perfect location for a girlfriend or couples get away. My only complaint was that there were no wine glasses!!!

  The listing was exactly as described (except even better). The place was very clean and extremely well maintained. Perhaps the greatest part of the rental experience experience was the communication between the owner prior to the rental. She was extremely helpful in answering questions and was VERY prompt in returning the deposit after the rental was checked. I could not more highly recommend this property.

  This home is beautifully appointed and has wonderful open spaces for family gatherings. The bedrooms and bathrooms are all large and very comfortable. We stayed for 6 nights and felt very at home. Beautiful outdoor areas. The owner was extremely accommodating and kind. During our time there kids ages 13-21 enjoyed the indoor amusement park! The owner was very repsonsive to emails and calls regarding the home in advance of our stay to ensure our stay was exactly what we needed and wanted. I expect to stay here again next year over the holidays!

  Eleven of us went down to the cabin for a weekend and had an amazing time. The cabin is very large and spacious and just as the pictures show. My friends and i do a yearly cabin trip and decided on a closer cabin this year as we are from Chicago and usually go to WI Dells. We were very happy with the cabin and the beautiful surrounding nature. We always do a big pre thanksgiving dinner and we found all pots n pans needed to do this. We did take our own turkey roaster and our own blender and good thing as we didn't find a blender in the kitchen. We also ran out of toilet paper but that was on the very last day on our way out so no biggie. Overall we loved the cabin and will most likely stay here again. We went hiking at Starved Rock which is less than a 5 minute drive. Amazing hike and amazing scenery. Loved it all.

  We rented this cabin in August as a weekend getaway to celebrate our son's birthday, and we had an awesome time! We let our sons invite some friends, and there were ten of us in all. My husband and I were very impressed with the size of the cabin, and we loved the northwoods decor. The main floor with the open kitchen, log dining table and great room was huge. At no time did we ever feel cramped. The kids loved the downstairs bedroom with the oversized log bunkbeds. The upstairs master bedroom felt like a honeymoon suite with the king-sized bed, whirlpool tub and fireplace. We felt like we were in northern Wisconsin, yet we were only an hour from home. We will definitely rent this property again.

  We rented this property due to its proximity to a couple of state parks and it was terrific. The place was lovely and really exceeded our expectations. For one thing, it was hotel-like in the way it was stocked: nice and ample soft towels, pillows, even various soaps and shampoos in the bathrooms. The kitchen had everything we needed. Each room had a television/DVD/remotes. It was incredibly clean, deep clean, and new looking with a lodge theme. Small, but cozy balcony where we hung out early in the morning. Our two and four year old LOVED it, as did their grandmothers. There is a combination of beds and pull out couches. The beds are super comfortable. The couches are fine for pull out couches and were already made up with linens. Nice bathrooms/jacuzzi baths. The owner clearly states that water park passes aren't included in the rental. We didn't realize that you can't even buy passes at the Grizzly Bear Lodge as a renter of this vacation unit, which was a bit disappointing, but the hiking was much more important than the water park to us anyway. In other words, you must be staying in the lodge in order to purchase water park passes. They don't sell tickets to the general public. The owner was fantastic and helpful and within hours of our arrival back in Chicago, she had already e mailed to say that our deposit was being refunded in full. This place would be great for a family reunion or a group of couples. We only had 6 people so we had more than ample space. We could have easily invited along another family (or two). It's big and has nice and open common space with a kitchen that faces the dining room/living room, making socializing while cooking easy. The kitchen is modern. It does sleep up to 18, but some of those are pull out couches. I would be most comfortable having 12 - 14 people here. 18 would work, but some would be sleeping in common areas. I really can't say enough good things about this place. Clean, attractive, has all of the things you need, is close to Starved Rock (2 - 3 minutes) and other state park locations (about 5 - 6 minutes), is family friendly (miniature golf, playground, bean bag toss) and we hope to go back again soon.
