Great location out in farm country. Parks very close by. Quirky little cabin, quaint. Loved the solitude and quiet among the fields. Amenities worked fine. Pick up bottled water at one of the Utica liquor stores; nearest supermarket is Kroger in Ottawa; while there go to Sunfield restaurant. Great coffee shop called Jeremiah Joe's in Utica. Drove around to the other towns. LaSalle has 19th century buildings and a great coffee shop with museum of the Illinois-Michigan canal. Worth visiting, and you can walk down to the canal stop in town. Beanbox Coffee in town, fun stop. Starved Rock hiking is cool, half the park is closed now for maintenance but plenty to see and you'll get a workout.

It was a very cute place & did look just like the pictures! The host was very communicative and check in couldn’t be smoother. However, the water did stink so I would recommend bringing a supply if you’re sensitive. Also, you can’t tell from the listing but there is a two story rental directly behind the house as well. We kinda thought we would be the only ones on the property but that was not the case! Not a problem but something to beware of :) All in all a great place and excellent for the proximity to state parks

We take a hiking trip every year for our anniversary. We wanted a place close to the parks and a place we could bring our dog. This cute farmhouse was so incredibly peaceful and minutes from Matthiessen State Park and Starved Rock. It reminded me of where I grew up. We live in a busy neighborhood and being able to just have peace and quiet was amazing. The host was very nice and made sure we had everything we needed!

Perfect for our needs

Great property, as advertised. Our plans centered around hiking in the local state parks, and it's the perfect location for that. Our needs were simple and they were met here. We stayed super cozy amid the blustery winds and rains of late March, and we loved that we could have our dog with us.

Perfect weekend getaway!

This was the perfect property for a weekend getaway. Simple place with ample room around the property for or dog to run. The big soaking tub was a major plus. Host was quick with communication & check in was easy. Would definitely book again! I recommend bringing a white noise machine (or app) if you’re coming on a day that happens to be super windy (like it was for us!).

Relaxing

Great place on mutiple acres. The owners house is right behind the property so we kept the blinds closed on that side and left the porch side open to view acres of beautiful farmland. Had an amazing time hiking starved rock with the changing leaves in fall.
