What a relaxing place for a weekend in the Ottawa/Oglesby area. We had a great time and recommend this place. It's probably best for a small family or friends who don't mind one of the bedrooms only having curtains for privacy. Joe was great to communicate with and made check in as easy as possible.

Beautiful rural, quiet setting. The other property is next door, but still very private. If you’re not used to rural, well water living, I would recommend bringing your own drinking water. The house is very cool and a great place to rest. A few more tables, landscape clean-up, updated faucets and wall art would be nice, but it didn’t affect our enjoyable stay.

Very happy with our stay! The house was clean, plenty of space, beautiful views of the farm land, close to restaurants and some shopping, conveniently located near Starved Rock & Matthieson State Parks, and the communication with the homeowner was exceptional! Be sure to stop at Jamie's Outpost for a drink (Roadhouse vibe). The food at Canal Port is amazing and it's located in such a cute area with lots of other places to visit in Utica.

My friends and I visited for a weekend and it was perfect. The location was a short drive to some beautiful parks. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed for our stay. The host was very accommodating. We are planning another trip this fall and if the property is available we would like be happy to stay there again.

Perfect and quiet

This place is perfect for someone who plans to hike Matthiessen or Starved Rock State Park. Very close to both. The house is beautiful, warm and quiet. Comfortable beds. Very well equipped kitchen. Joe is very responsive. Would definitely recommend it. We would love to stay here again.

A great location for hiking in the parks

We enjoyed the peacefulness and seclusion of the house out in the country. It was a short drive over to Starved Rock and we even made a drive into a grocery store in LaSalle which was about 20 min away. We had a hard time getting the lock to open when getting in and with the heat but the owner was very quick to respond and resolve issues. He was kind and was understanding to our needs. Know that if you’re bringing children there’s only one bedroom with a door; the other is just partitioned off by curtains so there’s not much noise reduction for that room. If you don’t have kids this wouldn’t be a problem. The kitchen had a new oven, a nice fridge, and a number of cooking utensils and even some spices. Overall, it was a great location for our stay and what we were looking to do.

We stayed here for one night for a family wedding at the Starved Rock lodge. This property is short 10 minutes away from Starved Rock. The house is comfortable and we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again. Thank you!
