This was a beautiful bungalow That had everything I needed And was also dog friendly. The location was on a busy street but it wasn't Off putting. It was a short drive to the state park and an easy walk into downtown for restaurants It was nice to have a garage to park in and there was a back deck to hang out on. The beds were comfortable And I appreciated The welcome note And the treats and supplies for my dog.

Nice accommodations near Starved Rock

Nice, roomy old house - great for two couples with plenty of room to spread out and relax after hiking with comfortable beds. Loved all the little touches - handwritten welcome note, toiletries in case you forget any and lots of seasonings and condiments in a fully stocked kitchen. Super close to Starved Rock and nice winery and breweries.

Starved Rock

This house was perfect. We needed a place to stay near Starved Rock & this cute little house was leaps and bounds above staying in a hotel room for pretty much the same price honestly. Would stay again if we find ourselves in the area in the future.

Excellent Stay for Weekend Getaway

Myself and my two brothers stayed at the Joliet for a weekend spring break fishing trip. The house was perfect as it was only ten minutes away from Starved Rock and very close to a lot of good restaurants. The house was very clean and comfortable as well. We had a great stay and created many great memories. Thanks so much for letting us stay.

Property was as listed, very nice and we had a great time with no issues with it. And Elaine was good enough to provide us with a listing of things to do during our holiday stay. Much thanks and if we decide to go to the same area again we will definitely stay at the property.

Home away from home delight

This was the perfect location for our goal to unplug and get into nature for a long weekend with all the hiking and nature nearby. The house was roomy and had everything we needed to cook and relax and spend time together. Elaine was the perfect host. The property was spotlessly clean. All the little details were appreciated.

This house is adorable. Our 5 year old daughter loved the “game room.” We felt right at home and enjoyed the charming town of La Salle. It was a comfortable place to relax after full days hiking at Matthiessen and Starved Rock.

Cozy Bungalow in LaSalle

Charming, Cozy bungalow in LaSalle close to state parks. Very clean and well-appointed . The owner provided dog treats, dishes and a toy as we were traveling with our dog. There is a small game room with foosball, darts, games, books and toys for children as well. I wish we could have stayed longer!

Quilting Retreat

In LaSalle for 5 day quilting retreat a short walk from the house downtown. Two sisters and a friend also came. Really enjoyed the space. Plenty of room, good kitchen and several places for gathering inside and outside. Would definitely book again. No clue what the wine experience question refers to.
