Had a nice quiet stay everything within easy driving distance Would stay again or use the same rental people
Elaine was great and the place was very clean. We stayed with our two daughters both under 5, and they loved it. The played all over the house but really liked the play area and spent time coloring too. Fire pit was great for hot dogs and s‘ mores (good idea to stop at Casey’s before and get a couple bundles of firewood) after a long day of hiking at Starved Rock. Perfect location on a quiet street and easy to get to the park about 10 minutes away. We most definitely will stay again when we go back!
Cozy home with a great backyard and deck. Very clean. Elaine thought of everything to make our stay more comfortable and fun for us and our dog. She responded quickly to our questions before and during our stay. Great recommendations for coffee and local restaurants. Would definitely stay here again!
A friend and I stayed at this quaint little house for the weekend. The house is a quick easy drive to Starved Rock and Mathieson State Park. The neighborhood was quiet and close to some excellent restaurants!
Thank you for the great stay at this house. It was great to be able to bring our pups and they could just play and roam around in the back yard while we enjoyed the weather and family time together.. I also loved how well stocked the house was for the guests and puppies with the extra touch amenities. If we are ever back in the area we will definitely stay again. I would also recommend staying here.
We stayed here for a few days to hike several trails in the area. The location was perfect and the place was terrific! The check in and out process was seamless. We highly recommend this place.
House is cute and quirky with everything we needed for our too short trip to hike at Starved Rock. Outdoor space was our favorite and something we look for in a rental. Host supplied lots of great info on the area which was helpful. Would definitely rent again!!
The property was located perfectly in walking distance if you wanted to downtown Lasalle. Very close to all the hiking trails less then 10 minutes away. Elaine responds very quickly to questions or concerns. Clean and cozy. It was a quiet area. Us girls just wanted to relax and not have any schedules. We laughed and had a great time. I would stay again if in the area.. Elaine was a great hostess.
Great place to stay and close to some great hikes.
We had a wonderful experience. The host was so friendly and responsive and the home was adorable with a great backyard area. We’ll definitely be back!
We couldn’t be happier with our stay while our floors were getting installed/finished. It was perfect for our dogs and baby. Thanks again for everything!
Everything was clean and nice. House provides all your needs.
My daughter and I stayed in your property while my grandson had shoulder surgery. My grandson is a student at IVCC and needed shoulder surgery. Your home gave us a place to stay so we could be close to him. It was nice to be in a home rather a hotel
Super cute house located close to all the Illinois Heritage Corridor attractions. The home was clean, nicely decorated, and had all the amenities needed for an extended weekend. Love that this property was dog friendly with a fenced yard so I was able to bring my girls for a hiking getaway at the state parks. Elaine even included some little doggy welcome gifts. The neighborhood was quiet even so close to downtown. We really enjoyed relaxing and being so close to everything we wanted to do/see. We will definitely be back!
This was a last minute booking, and we were happy with our stay. I was worried about it being a rental that allowed dogs, but it was super clean, and convenient for visiting the parks. We would consider coming again with our dogs. A bathroom with a shower is needed downstairs, because for tall, or even tallish people, the upstairs shower just doesn’t work. We are 6’4” and 5’10, and we were constantly bumping our heads on the ceiling in the bathroom and bedroom, and had to bend at the knees to take a shower.
The house is very clean and overall very well done. Great location within easy walking distance to great restaurants and shops. Also a short drive to the 3 parks. Excellent communication through the whole process. The only concern we had it is the ceiling height on the 2nd floor and in the shower. If you are over 6’ tall, you will have to duck a lot.
Cute property close to starved rock state park. Close to restaurants for take out or sit down. Would recommend to families with kids and people looking for accommodations close to starved rock.
This is the first time I booked with VRBO it was very easy
Wife found this place allowing dogs. Fenced in back yard. Was wonderful. Stayed 3 days. Visited Starved Rock all 3 days. Was no more than about 10 minutes away. Place was clean. Decor was nice. Amenities were more than was needed. Price was reasonable. Would rent again.
Keep up the great service
It was a great place for the family to stay for the weekend, full of reunion activities. Enjoyed the fenced backyard as it was perfect for our dog and festivities outside.
We had a great time with my kids and dogs. The place was well equipped for all we needed for our stay and the kids really enjoyed the house itself.
Wonderful little home! We really enjoyed our stay. Lots of little details made us feel welcome.
