Villa next to Starved Rock

This place was great! It was bigger than we expected - we could have fit a second family, though it would have been a bit tight. The whole place was really nice - comfy beds, fireplaces, and even a hot tub as an added bonus :) And, of course, it's very close to Starved Rock and the other nearby state parks.A great place to stay!

Getaway

3 day short getaway vaca to Starved Rock. This villa is a wonderful choice to stay at. Very well priced esp. no cleanup charges (all the other units charge up to 150 extra for cleanup). Spacious, quiet away from noisy water park but short walk there. Nice grounds. Villa well insulated from neighbor noise. Nice to walk around the grounds as the state park was wet and muddy. Will be back. Thanks Ivan for great communication.
