Starved Rock Retreat! Hot tub, Game room, King Bed, Pet Friendly!

Great family friendly home! There was plenty of room for 4 adults, 5 kids. The kids loved the “arcade” and the fenced in backyard was great for letting the kids play outdoor games and run around. The hosts were great at communicating and answering questions in a timely manner.

Exactly as advertised! We were in town for a family event and did not want to stay in a hotel. Very cute little downtown; filled with cute little shops, restaurants, and a nice park. The house was clean, updated, with good sized bedrooms, a VERY CUTE backyard space, and even a little game room. Communication was good, but check-in was smooth and we had everything we needed so we never even had to contact our host beyond initial instructions. We would definitely stay there again!

The house is exactly what we needed. Lots of bedrooms with big comfortable beds. The hosts are great about having supplies for families. The game room was amazing and we especially appreciated the yard games.

This was our second year staying at this property, and it was better than ever. Perfect layout for our friend group to hang out and play games together, and yet have our own space, too. Really appreciate the location, as it is close to a grocery store and a DG for incidentals. We had no problems with our stay, and the house was very clean, and the furnishings were comfortable. Would definitely stay here again!

This house is clean and cheery, in close proximity to downtown Ottowa and easy drive to Starved Rock. The fenced in backyard was great too! Our hosts were very communicative, and we definitely enjoyed our stay!

Had a great time with the family on our spring away mini vacay. There was a small hiccup with entry to the house but Stephanie and Matt were quick to respond and very attentive. The place was spacious with lots of interactive games and the jacuzzi was a sweet added bonus after a day of hiking at Starved Rock State Park. Highlights of our stay in include my Titi (Aunt) setting a high score on Pacman with over 60K points and me dominating at jumbo connect four game.Overall would highly recommend this property to others looking for a game house as well as a getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The house and amenities were perfect for our family's holiday celebration.

The hosts were wonderful - quick to respond to our every question. The house is great with lots of fun - especially the game room. We were staying there over the holidays to meet up with family and they had a little tree that was lit up. Just the perfect festive touch. We had family members from 8 to 83 years old. Everyone had a comfortable place to sleep and fun things to do.

Matt & Stephanie provided a nice clean home are were easy to text. We enjoyed our visit

Had everything we needed. Hosts were prompt with replies to messages and very helpful. Close to all the activities we wanted to do and see.

Great home base for a group of friends visiting Starved Rock.

Very nice stay. The house is nice and clean. Bedrooms are large and the beds are good. The yard was great for our dogs and the fencing makes the yard very private. A big kitchen that is fully stocked and the appliances were great. Bathrooms were clean and there were plenty of towels & wash rags. The neighborhood was good and pretty quiet. We really enjoyed are stay.

Great place to stay. Love that there is a grocery store less than half a mile away.

Found everything as promised and enjoyed the stay. Wonderful!

I agree with all the perfect ratings. Simple, efficient and comfortable layout incl. master bed separate from other 3 bedrooms, ceiling fans, good A/C, open kitchen. Plenty of games, pool table much better than your avg toy table found in many rental houses. Dog loved it: convenient fenced-in backyard, good walking neighborhood/parks, no hose for baths:) You can see Kroger grocery from the back gate exit. Starved Rock: 10min drive to Illinois, Ottawa, and Kaskaskia Canyon trailheads; 20mins to St. Louis Canyon; visitor center in the middle.Minor issue with check-in code but Stephanie responded quickly. Highly recommended!

Immaculate, with everything you need to feel welcome and comfortable. Nice little town with lots to do. Great hiking and dining nearby. We had a relaxing, enjoyable stay!

This home has LOTS of lovely details- My nephews ADORED the game room- including the axes, pool table, and connect 4. Its in a great family neighborhood with a park right behind and another huge park only 3 mins away. The beds were comfortable and we enjoyed the extra blankets at the end of the beds. Overall a great home for a family getaway!

We all enjoyed the stay. Clean. Stocked. Great customer service. Will definitely come back.

The house was a great home base for our visit with relatives in the area. Perfect setup.

Cute little spot. Great area walkable distance from the grocery store. Great sized back yard for dogs

We had a great stay! Our group of 10 was in town for a family reunion, and this home was perfect for us. Everyone was comfortable with plenty of space to relax. The house was very clean, and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook meals. There were more than enough towels for everyone, which was a huge plus. The game room was a hit and we enjoyed playing pool in the evenings. Would definitely recommend this place and stay again!

Very pleased with this home and the amenities. It accommodated our large family very well. Game room was perfect for us adults in our 30s and two teens. Pickleball was also a huge hit! The board games and comfy living area was perfect for our older adults 55. First time grilling with Charcol but the chief did just fine. We left some for the next crew! Lastly, the fenced in backyard was much needed for our four legged friends. Being stuck in the car for our 4 hr drive to the home they welcomed being off leash and getting to stretch their legs and burn off some energy. The host were excellent with communication before the trip and we would definitely stay here again.

Comfortable and spacious! Great place to stay for a family exploring Starved Rock State Park

Very clean. Nice neighborhood. Secure fenced back yard for my pups. Great location for us to visit family and friends. This area was home for us for more than 50 years so loved being greeted by the picture of Starved Rock. We will stay here again. Thanks for a comfortable week!

We had 5 couples gather for a weekend of board gaming and this was perfect for us. We were able to utilize the pool table as one of our board game tables, which was great! Everyone had a great time, and we had plenty of room. The layout really worked for us. We hope to come back in the future!

This was the perfect place for a girls’ trip. We all had our own room for when we needed space. The bedrooms are all large, the kitchen-living room area open, and the game room has a door to close for noise. It was very clean, and very well decorated. It was a five minute drive to downtown Ottawa, and 2 mins to a grocery store. The owners were quick to respond to a few questions we had. It was too cold/rainy to use backyard, but it was a nice size with a table and outdoor couch. We would stay here again!

Everything I needed for a comfortable stay while visiting and hiking some state parks from cooking every meal, to streaming my favorite shows, to playing pool and a little Pac-Man. I’d stay here again.

Lots of compliments for this property: Lots of space inside, and for parking. Plenty of towels and kitchen utensils/cookware. Nice game room. Quiet area close to grocery store. The only (small) negative thing I would mention was that we struggled the first night to establish a comfortable temperature in a couple of the rooms. One bedroom didn't appear to have any HVAC vetilation at all, which we alleviated by leaving the door open to that kids room on the 2nd night. And the master bedroom had its own radiant heater, which was slow to respond to settings. We were able to adapt to that by the 2nd night as well. Highly recommend this property.

Clean home with adequate space for 9 members of our family. Fun playing billiards and playing board games. Everything we needed to make our meals including baking pans and Keurig.

This home was perfect for our large work group. Check-in and check-out was easy. The home is in a nice, quiet neighborhood. It is also located right around the corner from a grocery store which was very nice for us having to pick up food for dinner during our stay. House was nice and clean, and a bonus was having a pool table and an arcade game that had all the best classics on it. Hello Pac Man and Galaga! Hosts were nice and checked in on us and were very responsive when we had questions. 5 star recommendation!
