About this property

Ottawa Oasis! Pool, Game room, Pet Friendly!

Welcome to the Ottawa Oasis! This pet friendly house comprises a downstairs unit with an in-law suite above. Just a 1 mile walk to downtown Ottawa and short drive to starved rock. Come back home after a long day hiking and cool off in the private inground pool. Cook dinner in either of the two kitchens in the house. Enjoy family game nights in the enclosed porch or playing pool.

There are 2 bedrooms on the main floor that include 1 queen bed and 2 twin beds. The upstairs has 1 bedroom with a King bed, and 1 large bedroom/ living room that contains a day bed with two twin beds and 2 full sized futons (This room does have its own doors to close off the room into a bedroom).

There are 2 kitchens in the house 1 located on each level. Each are fully stocked.

Additional info:
**Please do not park in the shared driveway. Pull all the way up to the garage or there is plenty of parking on the street**

Although we are pet friendly, we do require a one time pet fee of $150 for the stay.

We love sharing our home with all our guests. However, due to prior disrespectful renters and property damage we will only accept booking requests from:
-- Renters who are above the age of 25.
--Renters who will be staying during the reservation and are not booking for someone else.
--Renters who have less than 5 star reviews.

We want to disclose that we do have a noise monitoring device in this unit. This device ONLY monitors noise levels and alerts us when these levels reach a 75-decibel threshold (which is very loud) for more than 10 minutes straight. We understand large groups often book our home. We love our neighbors and do not want complaints about excessive noise levels.

We also have nest cameras at each entrance.

***Pool open May 22nd through Oct 1, pool is not heated. We do keep a solar cover on it to maintain warmth. Pool depth ranges from 3 to 5 feet. The pool is serviced weekly by a professional pool service company. Since it is an outdoor pool there still may be debris in the pool at times.***

We do not have a washer/dryer available for guest use.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

This is a beautiful home with character. It was very clean and had lots of activities for all types of ages from toddlers to seniors. The pool was a plus. The hosts were very accommodating to all of our needs. There is so much to do in the area which is a huge plus, close to shopping and restaurants/bars. It being dog friendly helped a lot for my family. The people in the area are very friendly as well, just overall an awesome stay. I highly recommend.

Fantastic Spot Close to Starved Rock

We had a wonderful stay at this Ottawa Oasis! My husband, adult kids and grandkids all enjoyed it. The pool was a huge hit. The house was equipped with everything we needed. The town of Ottawa plus Starved Rock and Mathieson were all fun! The hosts were great and very responsive to questions. It was a perfect family trip!
