Weekend getaway
Very clean and spacious townhome, just a 2-minute drive to Starved Rock. Plenty of balconies to enjoy a morning coffee or lunch, and although in a townhome community, the unit does provide privacy. Downtown Utica offers several bar and grills, a cute cafe, and a wonderful wine bar/shop.
