The Villa was perfect for our large group. The kids loved sharing a room with bunk beds! And everything was clean and had plenty of towels and dishes for us.
My fiancé and I stayed for two nights and everything was amazing!The host Destiney was very responsive when I had questions and made our stay feel like home.We will definitely be booking Y2 again
The host went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, providing everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The location was perfect and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would happily stay here again!
Great place to meet up with family. Host was quick to respond and offer help when the weather decided to dump show on us and our car would not start.

Everything was great. Comfortable beds, plenty of extra blankets and pillows if needed. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook breakfast and dinner. Liked the decor. Fireplace was nice to cozy up to. We all had a great time, looking forward to coming back soon.
We recently stayed at this charming woodland villa and it was a fabulous place for our family to stay. We had additional family staying with us and it was perfect place for all of us to gather, have fun, and relax together! Would definitely stay again!
Villa was very spacious and nestled in a beautiful area. Also very close to Starved Rock. We had a cozy stay and appreciated the quiet! Destiny was also very attentive and always responded quickly if we had a question. Definitely recommend!!
Every year we get together to spend a quiet weekend reading, exploring a new town, and catching up. This was such a cozy place to do just that (and the couch is PHENOMENAL). Destiny was absolutely lovely and helpful, and the place is beautiful.
Beautiful area for hiking. The villa was clean and comfortable. We had family in nearby villas making it easy to walk from place to place though it took awhile to find them. More signage would be helpful. We enjoyed our stay!
