Skippin` Stones | 2 Bed, 1.5 Bath

Skippin' Stones
Skippin' Stones boasts breathtaking views from both the front ground level screened in porch as well as two separate decks off of each of the ample bedrooms nestled in the cozy neighborhood of Cottages at Herons Landing. Watch boats drift lazily in and out of the harbor or admire the river scape while you sip your coffee in the morning or enjoy a glass of wine as the sun goes down.
The large bright gourmet kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, microwave, and table seating for eight.  You’ll find the cupboards stocked with all of the tools you need to create a lovely meal.  You can cook while enjoying the company of your entire family around you. Adjacent and open to the kitchen is a comfortable and colorful living area with couch, reading chairs and mounted flat screen television.

The master queen sized bed and second bedroom queen trundle bed , beckon your restful slumber upstairs with private decks for quiet time or conversation. With all the amenities you can ask for in cottage home, Skippin' Stones will be a getaway you will never forget.

Family Vacation
My husband and 14 month old came from St Louis for a long weekend. I’m originally from Streator, and this location was the best in order to feel like a vacation and go to Chicago for a day, while still being close to see family. It has a true getaway feel, has the easiest access to the pool, great views, and lots of space. I know we will be back!
