Great space - sleeps 10, we had 4 so lots of privacy. Three baths priceless. Interior space is well appointed, outdoor space is super nice and peaceful. Love the 30 yard walk to town - although no dedicated parking, plenty of parking on the street. Highly recommend this rental - was perfect for the Witch Fest weekend. Also - close to Starved Rock and other state parks for hiking.

We loved the small, charming town of Utica. Starved Rock State Park is a jewel, and we enjoyed our hikes. If Notre Dame could have beaten Miami in football, we’d have been over the moon. Just love the size, character, and back yard of Landers House!

Amazing Stay!

My girlfriend and I plus a few friends decided to visit Starved Rock for my birthday this year. I found this place that suited our needs. Super spacious, very cute with local bar/restaurants right around the corner. We were very impressed. The host was amazing in responding right away with any questions we had before/during our stay.

Great location in Utica

This is an old home with charm and character. The bathrooms are small but great water pressure and lots of hot water for a group. Loved the back deck and fire pit gathering spaces. But if you plan to cook meals, there are limited small kitchen pots and pans. We enjoyed our stay!

We enjoyed a wonderful girls’ weekend at this beautiful, historic home. There was space for everyone inside and a cute courtyard with fire pit outside. The location couldn’t be better with a quick walk to shopping and dining. We talked with the housekeeper, who was great and obviously took pride in the facilities. It is clear that the owner is committed to providing a top-notch experience and maintaining the integrity of the home. Thank you!

Perfect location

We wanted to hike at Starved Rock but did not want to stay in the park. We were a 3 minute drive from the park. The property was super clean and very comfortable. The breakfasts were delicious. We especially enjoyed the beautifully landscaped backyard, deck and fire pit. We also had fun taking the short walk to downtown shops/restaurants.

Perfect girls weekend

This was the perfect place to stay for a weekend getaway with the girls! There were 4 of us, and this house had just the right amount of space (and 3 bathrooms helped!!) Close to locals bars, restaurants and shops. There was even a canal market. Everything's within walking distance. The outdoor courtyard was shared space, but other than other guests walking through, we pretty much had the space to ourselves

The place is amazing! Beautiful old home. Very well maintained. Modernized with AC and plenty of outlets. I can't say enough about how great this place is. Perfect bedroom and bathroom layouts. Roku TVs in all bedrooms! We almost never find that!! The owner was very responsive to any question we had. You can tell they have pride of ownership in this place. We didn't get to use the fire pit in the back, but we will next trip. It was an awesome experience.
