Girls Weekend
I stayed at the property with girlfriends and our dogs for a girls weekend. The property was clean and had everything that we needed for the weekend (and more). We loved the air hockey and ping pong in the basement. The host was very nice and was easy to get ahold of. I would definitely stay here again.

Cozy house that is well maintained
We had a great experience with this property. This was my first time renting a home rather than staying in a hotel. I was very pleased. There were three adults and a baby in our group and having a living room to hang out in and a full service kitchen to prepare food in was simply wonderful. The property is very well maintained and delightfully clean!

Comfortable, well-appointed bungalow
A really charming, well stocked 3 bedroom 1 & 1/2 bath home. Original wood doors and Moulding, corner cupboards and some wood flooring. Spacious dining and living room and fun basement with air-hockey and ping pong. Well stocked kitchen implements, dishes and cookware. Cozy and wind protected outdoor sitting area for coffee, drinks or reading. Neighborhood parks within walking distance. Great BBQ restaurant and brewery nearby. Only 15 minutes to Starved Rock and great hiking trails. Note that some trails may be closed during hunting season. Overall, we had a great long weekend in LaSalle! A great combination of outdoor activities with indoor games and relaxed reading.

Very happy with our stay!
We were very pleased with our stay at The Lindberg. The house was a perfect size for us. It was very comfortable and a perfect location to visit our family who lives across the street. It was very clean. We loved the ping pong table and air hockey table in the basement that we used with our 5 & 9 year old nieces. So much fun!! Thank you we would definitely recommend the Lindberg and plan on visiting it again soon. Thank you!!

Communicated with property manager through the app. Everything was as described. Great central location for state parks, the I and M Canal and other attractions. The only nits to pick would be the back door sticks and is a little tough to open and the parking in front of the garage was great for my Subaru BRZ, don't know how a Suburban would fair.

Very comfortable, cozy place!
Four women friends met up here for a two day get away/ catch up time. We hiked and explored in the park and them enjoyed coming back to this cute house both evenings. We had plenty of room, were able to cook our own dinner both nights and enjoyed the comfy living room in between. It was just great for our needs and exactly as described and pictured. We will certainly use this home again if in the area and highly recommend the Lindberg House.

This cottage home fit our traveling group of 3 perfectly, and we even had more family over for an overnight, which was terrific. The house is clean, well supplied, and in easy walking distance to local parks and eats. We easily also did laundry, cooked, and played games. And the age of the home is charming, thank you Elaine!

La Salle - Lindberg House
The house is older but so cute. Everything was very clean. The code worked great for the door (no key to loose). The neighborhood was quiet and close to restaurants, shopping and activities. We brought our dogs and there were dog treats , a dog toy, poop bags and bowls for us to use. The appliances seemed newer and everything worked great. All communication with the owner was answered quickly. She is super nice. Would stay here again

Our favorite home away from home!
We've stayed in Elaine's lovely home twice as our base for hiking at Starved Rock and Matthiessen State Parks. We couldn't be happier. Both cozy and well-decorated, Elaine's house had everything we needed to feel right at home. The basement ping-pong and air hockey tables kept our sons occupied for hours. The whole family enjoyed the record player (play Elaine's collection and/or bring your own vinyl) and TV fully connected to all the streaming apps you'd ever want. Suuuper cozy bedrooms! We plan to keep coming back.

The most fantabulous little cottage ever!
This house is so cozy and cute it looks small outside but I quite roomy inside much like my personal home which drew me to it. It’s also got a very homey warm feel. It’s stylish in decor yet the home has all the charm of the past, a brilliant mix in decor. The kitchen is more than adequately stocked with pans knives dishes etc..even had spices and foil. The host were lovely leaving some goodies for us and our dog along with water and food bowl and a toy to play with. Lane and Susan are most gracious hosts. I would also like to mention the linens and towels are very nice and smelled wonderful. Also you’ll find a comfy memory foam mattress in the main bedroom not too soft not too hard. They have really thought of everything. You just cannot find a nice property than one owned by this owner. They went anb and beyond to make us feel at home. I will definitely stay again.
