We had an amazing stay at this beautiful house! It was impeccably clean and had everything we needed to cook and enjoy our time together. The abundance of games was a fantastic bonus.

Clean, comfortable, and well equipped
We stayed here for 2 nights for a wedding, and it was perfect. The beds were comfortable, and were piled high with soft blankets and fluffy pillows. My kids enjoyed playing all the various games at the house including the putting game, mini shuffleboard, big jenga, and so many more. Our time here flew by! The house was also immaculately clean. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Clean and Cozy
This simply adorable villa met all our needs. Location: We were in town for a wedding at the Starved Rock State Park which was literally less than a five minute drive away. We went back and forth multiple times throughout our stay. The villa exudes comfort with its many luxurious and fine touches. Anita was prompt with her communications and her directions on how to weave our way back in to the villa were spot on. We highly recommend this villa.

Property was exactly how it was described. It was spotless and had everything we needed & more for a perfect stay. Absolutely loved walking in and seeing the home tastefully decorated for fall. It felt like home! Now that we have stayed here we will never stay anywhere else when visiting the starved rock area. Thank you Anetka for sharing this wonderful home with us!

This was the perfect location for hiking, dining, wine tasting and added bonus it was October Fest. Was very quiet being tucked back in a corner which made it very relaxing. Such a beautiful place. Every detail was thought of from decor, games, kitchen and even a little chocolate as a welcome gift. Loved the vanity in the master. Nice added touch.😍Would definitely stay again!!

This townhome is a gem! It is impeccably clean and very well stocked. Much larger than it looks in the photos. Aneta has a brilliant attention to detail & decorating and she was easy to connect with & very responsive. We spent 2 nights here for a girlfriends getaway and wanted to be near hiking trails and the outdoors. This was the perfect spot. It is also super quiet & relaxing. We will definitely be back. Thank you!

Starved Rock Getaway
Perfect location for a weekend getaway at Starved Rock State Park. Property was just as described and shown in photos. Neat and clean with all of the amenities we needed. Perfect amount of space for an adult weekend of hiking, kayaking, cards, and live music on the property on the weekend that was just a short walk away. State park and restaurants within a very short drive. Would definitely return and recommend.

Home away from home
Everything I could ask for in a getaway vacation place to stay. All the necessities were provided and much more. If you like to cook like I do then this is the place for you. The kitchen was fully stocked with every kitchen tool I need and my son was thoroughly entertained with the games, toys, books and tv in between our adventures. Its just a short walk to the water park and the jacuzzi was much needed after a long hike and day playing outside. Lovely decor, super clean and coziness galore. Thanks for a welcoming and marvelous stay! We will be back for sure.

Great getaway rental with girls
Beautiful place to stay with a group of girlfriends. There were 6 of us and we were comfortable in the 2 bedroom. We spent most of the weekend gabbing in the kitchen or living room. No problem with noise from us or the neighbors. We all grew up local to the area and returned to the IV for fried chicken and friendship time! Don’t miss ano del gallo next door for drinks and appetizers or a meal! Dive bar look but gourmet drinks and food. Ample space to prepare food and snacks and everything we needed. Crockpot, pans, utensils etc. Love the extra vanity space for getting ready too! Would suggest a full length mirror for the fit checks but we can’t complain. Host was great!!!

Perfect Place
This villa was a perfect set-up for two families meeting up for a long weekend. It is on the property of a resort with many attractions available for use but most do cost extra (mini golf, water park at the lodge, etc). It was awesome to have a place to call home for the weekend in between times exploring the area. The kitchen was well-stocked with utensils/dishes for cooking and eating. The bathrooms were clean & beautiful and towels were provided. There was a good selection of board games and outdoor games for use in the backyard! It was such a great experience - I definitely recommend using it!
