This was a perfect getaway for my group! We were attending a wedding at Starved rock which is a quick 5 min drive. Lots of room to sleep and the host was so kind and answered quickly! Definitely recommend:)

It was perfect for my niece's bachelorette gathering. We were a little disappointed to not find the deck area. It looks to have collapsed. We only stayed one night so didn't get to enjoy all the amenities anyway. Plenty of room! Neighbors only on one side. Plenty of parking. Highly recommend!

Perfect for a little family getaway! The heat advisory kept us inside more than we’d planned, but the place is set up nicely, so we still had a great time playing games and making meals together!

Lovely place. However, there are no toiletries or cooking supplies. No shampoo, no cooking oil, nothing. I recommend it, but be prepared

Lots of sleeping space. Very convenient for going to Starved Rock and Matthiessen State Parks which is why we chose it. Also just a short drive into Utica for lots of dining options. If you have kids or adults who like games - air hockey, skeet ball, table shuffle board- it’s a great choice, though the games being in the bedrooms is kind of strange. The big dining table is great for cards or board games too. You might want to bring soap for the showers and salt and pepper for the kitchen as we found none there.

Fun family vacation conveniently close to Starved Rock! Host was really easy to communicate with and even replaced the coffee maker during our stay! We cooked all of our meals in the kitchen so it definitely had the tools we needed. Games were so fun for the whole family! Master bedroom has very comfortable king size bed and 2 queen air mattresses in the closet. 2nd bedroom has 2 beds (fits 4 people). Our kids loved the fireplaces! Nice big kitchen!!

Overall very good, electronics were a little dated/difficult to navigate, but it had everything we needed, very spacious even though the cabin was split into different units. Still had a nice cabin in the woods/secluded feeling. Easy in and out.
