Amazing as always
We have stayed at several of the cabins in this complex and this one is our favorite. The owner is very responsive to communication and handles any issues (not that there will be many, if any) quickly. Thank you for another great stay. We will be back again.

What a great Home!!!
We had the best time! House was perfect with a stocked kitchen, bedding, and essentials. We ranged in ages from 6-70 and everyone had fun. The house was a good size to hold us all (5 adults and 5 kids 6-17). Bedrooms were big and 2 full baths were a plus. Walked to the water park and right across the street from the St Louis Canyon parking lot to walk the trail. Short drive to Starved Rock and Mattiessen State Parks. Bruch at Starved Rock Lodge-YUM!!!!! You won't be disappointed!

Spacious, clean cabin in a quiet wooded setting
We enjoyed staying at this property and we’re pleasantly pleased on arrival at how spacious the unit was. The unit was clean and there was plenty of room for the six of us. In the living area there was only a sofa and a loveseat, seating for 5 even though there were beds for 10. The balcony in the master suite showed some decay and did not look safe to use. We were disappointed at how far the cabins were from the town of Lasalle where the wedding was held that we were there to attend. I thought the unit was in Lasalle, but found it was in Lasalle county. Might have been my oversight when I booked. Overall, we were happy staying here, it was a good value for the price we paid.

Great Stay...Will book again.
We were really impressed with how well organized and stocked the villa was. It felt like home away from home. We were very comfortable. Thank you for making our weekend great. I just wish that water park passes were included.

Wonderful
I have one complaint. The master room balcony was dangerous. My daughter could have fallen thru. But for the most part it was a great experience to be here.

Perfect mid-west escape
The property is located in what I believe is the perfect spot of seclusion and the charm of downtown Utica. The villa was super accessible, comfortable, and was the perfect escape that we needed. We will definitely be back.
