Comfortable Space for Family/Friends

We wanted a place to stay near the state parks and this house for the bill! Not much to do nearby, but Utica and parks are an easy 15 minute drive. The house was clean and equipped with everything we needed for the night's stay. Owners were very accommodating and great with communication.

Very kid friendly!

We had a wonderful time at this house. The kids were so entertained with all the toys and there was space to spread out and relax. There were so many small details that were thought of to make us feel at home. I also loved the rainbows that came through the stained glass window; that made for beautiful pictures!

Family fun for 9…ages 12-72!

Beautiful home with everything you could need for your four legged friends, kids, and family game night! We enjoyed grilling out, cooking together, and sitting around the fire pit. There are two trees perfect for a hammock, and the lightening bugs put on quite a show for us too. Great location close to two state parks where we hiked for days! Also, visit lasalle pool! So cheap and nice!!!!

Perfect for girls trip

We had a group of 10 that spent the day hiking at Starved Rock. We spent the evening relaxing, playing games and snacking. The property was perfect for our large group! I'm hoping to make it back when it's better weather to try that fire pit!

Surpring gem in tiny town

House was very clean and supplied. We used it as a travel lodge for older scouts and adults. Was a perfect overnight respite and kitchen for cooking dinner. Be advised that Tonica has no grocery store. But it is quiet and peaceful.

Why they chose this property

Because it’s close to Starvedrock State Park but close to Peru.

What makes this property unique

We provide a lot of items for children to be able to stay and be comfortable and the outside stone fire pit makes for a great night around a fire with family.
