Friends visit
Our stay was wonderful. It was a lovely home away from home and four of us adults had plenty of room and space to enjoy. It was easy to get to starve rock and get into several of the little towns and the museums! We especially enjoyed Star Union Spirits distillery, live music and great tour!

Exceptional place to stay near Starved Rock
This is by far the best place I have stayed near Starved Rock. The villa was spotless. The bedrooms were large and beds were very comfortable. The 2 full bathrooms were large as well. We cooked several meals and everything was available that we needed.
The location was perfect. Minutes to Starved Rock to hike and to the small towns around the park.
I had several questions and Matin answered immediately.
I would highly recommend this place to stay if you are in the area, and I would book this place again.
