This home was perfect for us. Just minutes away from Starved Rock, Buffalo Rock, Matthiessen, and Illini State Parks! And when we came back from hiking, they have a water cooler which was a nice perk! This home is a Lustre home, which I had never heard about. They have news articles, prints, and books about the home which are very interesting. If you enjoy art like I do, you'll appreciate the prints of Dali, Miro and Hopper throughout the home. There were plenty of supplies here, too! No running out of toilet paper, for example. Forget your toothbrush and toothpaste, they have you covered. Lots of supplies here for our use! The best compliment I can give is this: I would definitely stay here again and again! What a nice quiet neighborhood and adorable house! ##### Michael S.

You want for nothing staying here, all you need is your suitcases. You will be amazed by the size of the rooms. I wish Lustron homes, were still being built. Karen is a wonderful host, and answered all my questions immediately. This is such a hidden gem, you would like to keep it a secret, so others don’t know about it, so you can rent it when you need it. Grand Ridge is a great family community, and everyone is friendly. We will definitely stay here again when we return.It is your home away from home. ##### James B.

It was tastefully decorated in period pieces making it a very comfortable stay. Not overly decorated like some VRBOs. While a few of the original fixtures are worn from many years of use, that just adds to the authenticity of this nicely preserved, historic place. This VRBO also had the most food supplied to guests that we've ever seen. Very nice. Thank you for an enjoyable place to use as our home base as we explored the nearby parks and towns! :) ##### Nina F.

As an architect I loved the opportunity to live in a Lustron house for a few days. Its adorable and all the mid century modern decor is very well done. Because of the pandemic we wanted to be able to cook our own meals and this was one of the best equipped kitchens I have had in a rental including condiments like butter! I had actually brought some as I wasn’t expecting that. We enjoyed both Starved Rock that we had visited in the past and discovered Matthiessen which is amazing. Both parks are about 15 - 20 minutes away. Hope to be back again and I can’t imagine staying at the Lodge if Blue Steel is available! ##### Susan K.

It has a unique charm with its period furniture and decor. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. It has everything we needed for an extended stay including a full sized washer and dryer. We were worried that a metal home would be cold, it was not. It was very warm and cosy. It is located across the street from the grade school and I enjoyed hearing the kids when they were out for recess. I went for many walks around the village and enjoyed seeing some of the old victorian homes. Thank you Karen for opening your home to us. We especially loved learning about the history of a Lustron home. We would definitely stay in this home again. ##### Sue H.
