    Clean, spacious, fireplaces worked wonderfully and Eddie was responsive to questions! Super close to the trails for hiking as well and a very short drive to restaurants.

    The villa was comfortable and as described. We enjoyed the arcade game, hot tub and fireplaces! A perfect location for hiking Starved Rock. Eduardo was very helpful and communicative. We would definitely stay again!

    Great location for visiting Oglesby, Utica and Starved Rock. Super spacious. The beds were comfortable and we had fun with the video game! Eduardo responded to messages promptly. My only suggestion is for renters to arrive in the daylight because the numbers are hard to see (not the owner’s fault) We would stay here again!

    Has many helpful amenities. The hot tub was more like a bath than a hot tub.

    We had an amazing stay! The property was extremely clean, easy to locate & had plenty of great amenities. One of our favorite things to use was the arcade machine! The jacuzzi tub & fireplaces were also amazing. We picked this property since it was so close to Starved Rock State Park! The property has a fun outdoor vibe to it & we loved every second of it. 10/10 would stay again!
