Very large rooms and comfortable furnishings. Really enjoyed the whirlpool tub and the views from the balcony. Only downside was being able to hear the TV and music from the unit next door.
The Villa was fully stocked if we wanted to cook. The place was secluded but yet close to both Starved Rock and Matthiessen park! Enjoyed our weekend! Owner was in communication with us whenever we had a question.
Nice property and nice amenities. Very satisfied with our stay. Thanks!
The unit was clean, cozy, and perfect for the do nothing weekend getaway we needed!
No complaints. The unit had an unusable balcony, but we didn't need it, and it didn't spoil the fun!
We enjoyed a two night stay near starved rock for a mid-week getaway. The property had everything we needed and we were comfortable and cool inside even though it was very hot outside! There was one issue with dirty sheets being left on the pullout couch, but the owner checked in during our stay and apologized for that when I mentioned it and said she would address it with the cleaning team in the future.
Our stay was perfect! We enjoyed our girls weekend hiking, eating and Zina had everything ready for us as she said that she would. Couldn’t have asked for a better host.
The property was well kept and clean. We arrived and were surprised to have a beautiful note and wine as a birthday gift ie reason for our mini vacation. Zina was helpful with the whole process and replied timely to messages and txt. Definitely recommend.
I would definitely rent again.
Great property and a manager who ensured our weekend was relaxing
