Ottawa, Illinois
Cozy home near the heart of downtown Ottawa. Relax with some Netflix in the sunroom or whip up a nice dinner with the fully equipped kitchen. Don't forget to check the backyard chicken coop for some fresh chicken eggs or share some kitchen scraps with them!
We're just 15 minutes from Starved Rock, closer to Buffalo Rock and Matthiessen State parks! Shops and restaurants in downtown Ottawa are a close walk or drive and there are many playgrounds close by for kids!

Really enjoyed the property, from the location, the house, the chickens, proximity to dining, we really enjoyed our stay. Thank you!
Everything was great
The listing was beautiful, the space was nice, and the host was great. The problem comes where it’s listed as a three bedroom or more and that they can sleep up to 12 people. That’s just not accurate. I had two other couples planning on staying with us and splitting the cost but when we found out it was a couch bed with a quarter inch thick mattress and two children’s beds, In the other two rooms, we quickly realized that it was not going to be split between four couples. instead, it doubled my cost. I just want some accuracy of these dang listings. I get you’re selling a listing, and you wanted to look nice, but dammit be honest. House should be great for two couples and a whole bunch of kids, but no more than four adults can stay comfortably in this house.
This was our first trip to Starved Rock and we enjoyed our stay in this clean and comfortable home near downtown Ottawa and the State Park. Planning to return again this fall for a longer stay!
The house is in a nice location convenient to downtown Ottawa. Plenty of room to spread out. The cute kitchen had all the utensils/appliances we needed. The chickens in the back were great fun, and we took advantage of the delicious fresh eggs! One thing to be aware of, if you have motility issues: the steps into the living room are very steep! But overall things were great and we recommend a stay here!
This place was amazing! Clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The owner communicated well and was willing to make our stay awesome..
This was an adorable and very comfortable home, near the very cool downtown Ottawa area. It was clean and had plenty of amenities available. I would stay here again next time I want to spend some time in Ottawa.
We had everything we needed and were close to a grocery store for the rest. The house was clean and had plenty of towels. It’s close enough to Starved Rock State Park, which was a neat visit, to have extra outdoor stuff to do. Good area for walking. Dog-friendly, kid-friendly, and spacious. My kids enjoyed interacting with and feeding scraps to the chickens. Overall, great spot to stay if you want to meet family or friends in Illinois outside of Chicago.
Jeff was a great host. Very responsive with all questions we had. Accommodating to our unique situation- we were between homes!
Charming home with a wonderful living room full of windows to look into the backyard. It is big room to visit with friends and family. The master bedroom is private from the additional two bedrooms. You can walk to a grocery store, neighborhood bar, downtown restaurants and the river! The home was very clean and had the essentials for cooking. Wonderful hosts and the chickens were a bonus to watch and enjoy. We will definitely rent this home again when we come back to Ottawa!
The location is great, the house was a perfect setup for our family. The kids enjoyed the chickens and we enjoyed the eggs. The house was updated, clean and convenient to town.
Traveling with two families (5 adults, one teenager) was made so much easier staying at this beautiful home. Close to downtown Ottowa and Starved Rock State Park, the location is perfect. Plenty of space, fully stocked amenities, and gracious hosts make this a perfect place to stay if you are visiting the area. The communication from the host prior to and during the stay was the best experience staying in a VRBO to date.
This was a very cozy property that was very convenient to all of the activities we wanted. The perfect place to relax after a busy hiking day. The chickens were a vast source of entertainment for our 8 year old as well as the rest of us! Checking for eggs everyday was a memory he will cherish forever! Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us!
