The villa was super clean and a very nice getaway. Plenty to do with hiking at starved rock. Water park, restaurants Walmart near by. Very good location. The kids had fun with all of the games available at the house. The owner put a lot of attention to detail on this rental. Little things that make it feel like homar and not a hotel. We will be back next year. Thank you Anetka
