This was a great place to stay while we visited Starved Rock and Matthiessen state parks. The villa was very spacious, clean, and comfortable. We especially appreciated the well-stocked kitchen since we prepared and ate our meals here.If returning to the area, we would definitely want to stay here again.

We stayed here because we have a wedding to attend at Starved Rock Lodge. The proximity to the lodge and hiking paths was great. The property is an end unit on a quiet street, and there was plenty of space to walk our dog and beautiful views. The beds aren’t the most comfortable, and the carpeting was worn and dated, but the unit is clean and spacious, and had everything we needed for our weekend stay.
