This was a very nice rental property. It had a fenced yard which was great with our 2 little dogs. Starved Rock was close enough that it was an easy drive every day. The place was well stocked and everything worked.

Quiet Getaway

Love this place! I came here to finish writing a book and I was able to do just that. Close enough to Starved Rock, where I went hiking with my dogs every morning. Great coffee and food. Maria's Cafe is a must! Looking forward to staying here again!

We had an excellent stay and can’t recommend this property enough. The home was clean, modern, and incredibly welcoming from the moment we arrived. It was also exceptionally well-equipped for pets, with a fully fenced yard, food and water bowls, and even a pet bed—details that made traveling with our pet so much easier.Emilia was outstanding to work with. I had accidentally booked the wrong week, and despite having no obligation to do so, she graciously adjusted our reservation to the correct dates. That level of flexibility and kindness made a stressful situation much easier.We were in town for a difficult reason, laying a family member to rest, and having such a comfortable and thoughtfully prepared place to stay allowed us to focus on what truly mattered. Truly a top-notch experience all around.

Hiking at Matthiessen State Park

This place was perfectly represented! Our three small dogs loved the fenced in yard. Plenty of room and everything you need-just like home. Visited Matthiessen State Park which was only a few minutes away. The host responded within minutes- hope to be back soon!!

Fall Break

Very nice stay for our kids fall break. The fenced yard was great for our dog. The neighborhood felt safe. We didn't automatically receive check in info but our host was extremely prompt and responsive to help us get in.
