The villa was super clean and a very nice getaway. Plenty to do with hiking at starved rock. Water park, restaurants Walmart near by. Very good location. The kids had fun with all of the games available at the house. The owner put a lot of attention to detail on this rental. Little things that make it feel like homar and not a hotel. We will be back next year. Thank you Anetka

We felt lucky to have found this place. Extremely clean. Lots of little touches you don’t find at most accommodations. Made some great memories here. Walked the neighborhood at night and felt safe. Walk across the street to Starved Rock State Park trails.
