Overall everything was good. Our family really enjoyed the stay.
This was a great place to stay while we visited Starved Rock and Matthiessen state parks. The villa was very spacious, clean, and comfortable. We especially appreciated the well-stocked kitchen since we prepared and ate our meals here.If returning to the area, we would definitely want to stay here again.
Clean rooms, well decorated, plenty of space, very cozy. The whole family loved it, and we plan to stay again sometime in the near future. Thank you again Martin!
Great location close to Starved Rock. The condo was spacious with 1800 square feet and the kitchen was very well stocked. I would recommend this condo to anyone
