Host was very accommodating. Perfect backyard and back patio area for lounging while kids played. An amazing piece of American history to stay in for our hiking weekend trip.
This is our second time staying here and we just love everything about this place. From the friendly neighborhood to the beautiful hikes at Starved Rock. This cute Blue Steel home is perfect! Thank you again Karen!!
This was a great setting for our girlsâ weekend. The house was so well-equipped and close to downtown Ottawa and the state parks. This was actually our second time here, and I donât expect itâll be the last!
the pictures on the website are accurate. lovely place, stately trees in the backyard, quiet neighborhood. Very comfortable house, nicely furnished. Lacks only a good reading light. If we're ever in the area again we will gladly stay.
Amazing throwback in time to the 50's at this property. We were there only a couple of nights but the accommodations were great! We would stay there again!
Easy check in at this unique 1950s prefab bungalow. Enjoyed learning about history of this home from the book, pictures and other documents about Lustron on site. Plenty of nostalgia with all the modern comforts. Very clean and well stocked home. This was our first visit and will definitely come back.
This home was stocked with all the supplies you could need for a weekend get away. It was decorated so uniquely and it was super clean. We will definitely be back.
Just as described, clean and comfortable home in a quiet area. Close to Starved Rock and Matthiessen State Park for outdoor activities. We spent our evenings at restaurants/bars in Ottawa. Perfect place for us, we will return often.
Super nice property, with everything you need. Grand Ridge is a wonderful quiet town, close enough to everything, but far enough to give you some time to enjoy yourself. This vintage home was way ahead of its time, when it was built
Cool retro house and the decor was a clever nod to the period the home was built. Very clean and well-appointed. Close to Starved Rock and Matthiessen State Parks.
Cute and cozy!! We felt so at home in this little house that is in a nice and quiet neighborhood. It was close to everything we needed. Hope to get back soon! đ
The lustron house is absolutely amazing! Very clean inside and out.We loved how Karen had the history of the house (newspaper article) included so we could learn more about it! Definitely would book again!
This vintage home has an interesting history and is kept up so nicely with period furnishings. Modern conveniences though-good water pressure, fully functioning kitchen, good temperature control. I like stays with history behind them and this house has that It is a very small town so you will drive 15 minutes to find a grocery. Close to Matthesson and starved rock state parks which are both beautiful Karen responds quickly when messaged I enjoyed every minute
Nice quiet little town with two bigger cities both north and south that are 10-15 minutes away. The history they have for you to read about this little house was very interesting and enjoyable to learn. Karen, the owner, was quick to answer and questions even over the Christmas weekend. The cleanliness of the house was very good. Highly recommend this rental.
We were very happy with the house! Some minor concerns - however some of the dishes (frying pans) were dirty with leftover food. There was very little toilet paper.
It was so much fun to stay at Karen's Luston house! We'd never seen the inside of one before. Super cool and beautiful, with well-appointed period details. Karen was incredibly fast to respond (and resolve) when we had issues with the tv. Our one minor complaint was that the tub/shower ran out of hot water very quickly.
My husband and I recently stayed at this fabulous house for a quick getaway from Chicago. My mouth literally dropped when we walked in the door! Perfectly furnished and decorated. The house was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. My husband and I often stay at hotels in the area while we visit the neighboring towns. I now want to stay at this lovely home for all our future visits! If you are a fan of midcentury modern homes, this is definetly a house you want to rent!
