Wonderful cabin

The cabin was clean, well appointed, and so comfortable. We spent most of our time inside cooking and relaxing and didn’t venture out much past the front porch. We really enjoyed how close it was to home and plan to return.

Quiet getaway

We loved the secluded property, and the fact that we were not far from some fun places to visit, including Starved Rock, Sandwich, and Ottawa was a bonus. The hosts were wonderful, and the cabin was authentic and clean.

Cozy dog friendly cabin near Chicago

Great cabin as pictured and only 2 hours from Chicago and 30 minutes to Starved Rock. In a quiet rental property community on Fox River. Would definitely stay again! Only minor issues were slow wifi and dvd player not working.

Owners were very kind and patient with our questions, especially those we could have answered ourselves. Great home base for excursions around Starved Rock area. Comfy, private, and relaxing.

woodsy get away

This large but cozy cabin is made for get aways - where one wants to in the woods but near lots of things to do! Plenty of sitting areas for entertainment, wifi works perfectly and the fireplace is ready to go! The water temp and pressure is great (which is a big deal for me). The house sits a bit on a hill, so was very private even though there are a few other homes on the dead on road. Cannot express enough how much we enjoyed our stay!

Home away from Home

Our trip back to our roots to be with family over the Thanksgiving holiday was just what we hoped for! The cabin was spacious, tidy and cozy. Our pups loved watching out the back door at the family of deer that welcomed us one morning. Morning coffee and checkers by a fire each morning with our adult son’s was special. The neighborhood was quiet and private. It was a bit cold to sit outside, but look forward to that next time. Thank you for letting us stay! The Holt’s
