Lifetime Memories, Hiking Trails, WIFI, Near River, Play Ground, NO CLEANING FEE

Everything was good no problems.

Coffee machine and dish washer is not good working

I definitely recommend. Everything was well cleaned & organized. It felt like home

Fun sister hiking trip and great place to scope out a future family vacation! There is quite a lot to do on the resort and it is extremely close to starved rock and matthesian. The St. Louis canyon trail is right across the street! The town is fantastic - definitely hopping on the weekends. The house was HUGE especially for 2 people and very clean. Loved the decor and location. Martin was great at making sure we had everything we needed. Can't wait to come back!

Great space in a great location!

The home was very clean, it had a well stocked kitchen. The beds were comfortable. We brought our dog and she loved roaming the property full of trees. Martin is a great host and an even better communicator. His responses to my questions were clear and timely. We hope to be back soon

Pet friendly, very clean, very spacious! A nice big dining room table for cards at night, very conveniently located near the two state parks, with the parking for the St. Louis canyon trail just across from the lodge within walking distance. Would absolutely stay again!

Didnt sleep because neighbors were loud. Overall place was nice and was great location for the hikes!!

Martin was an excellent host! Villa was clean and comfortable. Fireplaces were so cozy and jacuzzi tub was a dream! Already looking forward to our next stay

We had a blast! The condo was clean and super comfortable. The beds were like sleeping on a cloud. The yard was big enough for an Easter egg hunt. Plus all the amenities you could've asked for!!thanks again

Nice condo for a baking getaway. The condo is showing some wear but it wasn’t anything that affected our visit. Owner responded quickly to our messages. We suggest an updated manual with wifi codes and local information. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

I had to call VRBO customer service to get a hold of my host in order to receive the site address and access code for the rental. Customer service was able to get in touch with the host so it luckily worked out, but it was stressful on the day-of still waiting on necessary information for our vacation. Cleanliness was just okay; there was loose hair throughout the bathrooms upon arrival. No extra blankets for beds. Kitchen supplies were okay, but definitely limited. I've stayed in these cabins before and other units were cleaner and offered more overall supplies for the same nightly price.

Great place to stay. Bar and food right at the resort so didn't have to go far. Clean and comfy with living space on 1st floor while bedrooms were upstairs.

Martin was helpful and welcoming, everything was in great working order! Both bedrooms had great balconies. Be sure to ask the host ahead of check in how to access the villa. Since it is privately owned the resort doesn’t have access to that information.

This place was dirty and I need of some up keep and repairs. At first I did want to leave a negative review but after I looked over the reviews and seen that know one has ever seen or pictured the this I did I think it is a most someone points it out. Shower head dirt, toilet seat nasty, hot tube had to run and clean 3 times just so I felt it was clean enough to use, carpet tattered and ripped I also pictured, bed cover stained and gross, carpet needs cleaned very badly, from door jam has been kicked in and has not been repaired correctly also pictures of that, upstairs bathroom vent fan very load have a video of that, floor by the hot tube is very load and creaky have video of that, air return vents very dusty. On a positive host was very responsive when I called to get the building number and unit number

This was perfect for a weekend hiking trip with friends!Thank you so much for the stay.

Everything wonderful and was as advertised.

It was very comfortable and had everything we needed! We enjoyed our time here.

We had effortless check-in. The place was spotless. We enjoyed it very much, especially the two fireplaces. This place was extremely roomy and comfortable. I would even go so far as to say it was cozy and it had every amenity we could want and its proximity to shopping bars and restaurants was terrific.

The property is located on a gorgeous piece of property. The home was very clean, comfortable and relaxing. The owner was amazing and made us feel at home.

Very nice condo, well appointed. Host answered questions and calls immediately. The Starved Rock Park was so close and trails were great. Fall colors were fantastic. We ate dinner at the resort restaurant and it was excellent. Enjoyed our stay.

Nice clean place to get together with friends! Thank you!

We loved the open spacious unit. Martin is a wonderful host. Highly reccomend.

Great location very close to two state parks and many hiking trails.

Great location, nice location!!

Nice villa close to Starved Rock State Park. Comfortable bed and nice hot shower.

Quick access to events

Nice unit in a collection of units that are part of a resort. The pictures are accurate. Everyone had a great time!

Cabin was clean and well stocked with everything needed for a pleasant stay. My only recommendation is to bring your own shower products, as there aren’t any soaps/shampoos provided. But overall excellent value and we had a wonderful weekend. Thank you.

Property is well maintained and clean. Its by a resort and felt safe. Within 15 minutes of awesome hiking trails. Easy to contact the manager. Quiet. Many furnishings. Tons of room. Beds were firm; on par with motel. Some doors didnt work properly. Highly recommend this place.

Lovely area and wonderful accommodations—

Very close to Starved Rock and some cute small towns we enjoyed exploring. Unit was very comfortable and large enough to spread out. It was nicely furnished and equipped.

Good property that was easy to find and located near all the best stuff in the area. Only complaint was the time it would take to brew a pot of coffee. Clean and accommodating space. Would stay again.

For a weekend vacation with family and pet, it’s a very nice place to stay. Would definitely recommend; and would definitely stay again. 10/10

Nice and clean property as listed

The place is really big and a great place to stay. Near many hiking trails but there are not a lot of places to fish or swim.

Super spacious and clean home, beautiful tranquil area with lots of green play space for kids/pets. Had somewhat of an issue getting timely info for check-in; it was added stress to have to contact the host with just a couple hours to spare. Also, the outside of the structure seems to be in disrepair and not all that safe in spots. However, the wonderful unit overall made up for it and it really provided a nice place to just rest.

We had a very nice stay at the property in Utica. It was very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed.Highly recommended.Convieniently located near state parks.

A great place to relax

This villa is exactly as described in the listing, maybe better! There was so much room for our family to spread out. The bedrooms were as large if not bigger than most double queen hotel rooms. Our 15-month granddaughter had so much room to move and enjoyed honing her stair climbing skills. Ha! The beds were very comfortable! Someone else mentioned the coffee maker in their review and yes, it is lacking-took at least 30 minutes to brew a pot of coffee. Bring your own laundry supplies if you plan to do laundry as there weren't any supplied. Both bedrooms share the upstairs bathroom, but there is a full bath downstairs. Otherwise, it was a terrific place to stay, close to everything and very peaceful! We would definitely stay here again if we went back to the area.

My husband and I stayed here in late April because it was so close to 3 State Parks. The place was nicely decorated and big enough that we could have brought the kids and grandkids,too! Martin was quick to respond to questions we had before we arrived and we didnt need to contact him with any problems during our stay. If you choose to stay here,you will have a well-equipped kitchen if you want to make some of your own meals. You will need to bring basics like plastic wrap or foil. We were pleased with how quiet it was here,but I'm sure it gets very busy during the summer months,as it is in the middle of a resort. Beds were comfortable and the spa tub felt great after a long day of hiking.

Had everything we wanted. A jetted tub and fireplace in the master bedroom. Right next to starved rock state park. Lots of wonderful canyons for hiking. Lots to do for kids if you bring them.

Great property very close to starved rock.

We had a great stay here. There are so many places to sleep- it’s deceiving for a 2 bedroom. It’s very spacious. Kitchen was well stocked. Jacuzzi was a hit with the kids. Loved that the location was dog friendly. Beds were comfortable. The sheets were not washed in a heavily scented detergent which made me so happy. Comfy beds. The fireplaces warm up the rooms well. 4 min drive to starved rock. Quiet at night. Would definitely stay here again.

Our stay was great. We loved the house it was exactly as described. The owner was very responsive and easy to reach. The property was nice and easy to find. It had plenty of room and all the necessities you could need. Overall we really enjoyed our stay here.

Enjoyed our stay very much. It was very spacious. Loved the gas stove and all the counter space. TV in Main Bedroom didn't work. Downstairs furniture not super comfortable.

A very roomie and clean townhouse in an area with many things to do. It is in the middle of a resort.

Quick trip from CO for a relatives memorial

House was great! Location was terrific for our hiking in starved rock! Got to bring our fur baby which was amazing!! Highly recommend! Thank you! Our quick trip family vacation before our girls went back to college was amazing

A rural rustic villa decorated with a nice Christmas tree for the holiday. Thank you for allowing pets!

Great location and lodging for our family Christmas celebration. We thought it was nicer than the pictures:)

Enjoy the state parks and Utica

This was a great location to stay for hiking in Starved Rock.

This property is so close to the park it made two days of hiking that much easier! It is very spacious, plenty of room for our family and pets and enough kitchen supplies to make simple meals. Thank you!

Love it! Great for wedding party at starved rock!

Lovely place, kept nice. Room enough for big families. Great communication and prompt response to questions. Would definitely recommend.

We were in the area for a wedding. This villa was perfect for our family. No issues other than the keurig not working. Other than that everything was great!
