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!

He was so nice and replied to all my messages right away. Very easy to deal with and very accommodating. Second, the place was a hidden gem. I fell in love with the house and everything about the property as soon as we got there. The house was clean and fully stocked. Loved the lay out of the cottage. The land was huge which was perfect for our fur baby. It had a treehouse which my husband loved and visited often…lol. It was so relaxing there, I didn’t way to leave. We will definitely visit again soon. ##### GRACE D.

Booked a charming farmette in LaSalle County…3-5 miles from friends, family, and Grand Bear Lodge (the wedding venue). It should be called Hidden Gem…charming, quiet, clean, & lots of yard for pup to run. 1 bed so max guests 2…Bonus, need more room- there is another house on the property, just as cute and a bit bigger. Newly acquired in the past 2 mos, Joe (our VRBO host) just redid the house! It is so cute! Washer & dryer, dishwasher, blow dryer, all the amenities one would need! Close to Starved Rock State Park, Mathiessen Park, Utica- it is perfect for Fall Colors, Burgoo, etc. We will be back to this hidden gem! ##### Monica V.
