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.

Overall, this was a nice place to stay. My kids really enjoyed the air hockey and retro video games. Another plus is that this inside a resort and minutes from starved rock entrance. There are 3 actual beds and two air mattresses. This worked fine for our family but I’m not sure that is clear on the listing. Main complaint is that the sofa is not comfortable and could use replacing. The host was responsive and made check in easy. I would recommend this place and would stay there again.

Starved Rock Getaway

The cabin was very nice and clean. I am not sure the description was correct about housing 13 people? There was only 2 queen air mattresses and one twin/ full which did have a leak and needs replaced. FYI for the owner of the property. Also for the number of occupants there was not enough bath towels. But overall the property was very nice and a good place for a family to enjoy for a starved Rick getaway.

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
Did not talk to the host. Sent a polite email. The cabin was cute with some nice machines for play. But the bed situation was not as advertised on the front pages of site. Advertised room 1 with king and queen (no queen there) and room 2 with 3 queens (only 2 were there). There were 2 air mattresses which is not a bed but 1 had a hole in it. Down stairs it advertised a futon. No futon, just a very uncomfortable couch. Had an air mattress but not the same as a bed. Short towels, no kitchen towels or pans. Coffee maker did not work. Bottom of oven had drippings on it. We had to clean. Fan over table did not turn on. Short forks. No ice maker or trays. We still had a good time but these issues but a damper on the experience.

Stay Review

Overall nice experience but they need some updates in the home such as inflatable air mattress leaks air, water pressure on shower heads to strong, the couch has broken springs, and the upstairs sink water pressure super low, for a more comfortable stay. The area is super nice the state park is super close by.
