Girls Weekend
I stayed at the property with girlfriends and our dogs for a girls weekend. The property was clean and had everything that we needed for the weekend (and more). We loved the air hockey and ping pong in the basement. The host was very nice and was easy to get ahold of. I would definitely stay here again.

Charming and Clean
We had a lovely stay in Elaine's home. This house was head to toe charm and incredibly clean. The bathrooms and kitchen were fantastically stocked. We used the charming cottage for a girls reading getaway and it did not disappoint!

Fun stay!
We felt welcome and had fun visiting Starved Rock. It’s about a 15 minute drive to the lodge so not bad! The kids enjoyed the ice cream place down the street and our senior dog enjoyed the treats that were left for us. Thank you for a lovely time!

Cozy house that is well maintained
We had a great experience with this property. This was my first time renting a home rather than staying in a hotel. I was very pleased. There were three adults and a baby in our group and having a living room to hang out in and a full service kitchen to prepare food in was simply wonderful. The property is very well maintained and delightfully clean!

Comfortable, well-appointed bungalow
A really charming, well stocked 3 bedroom 1 & 1/2 bath home. Original wood doors and Moulding, corner cupboards and some wood flooring. Spacious dining and living room and fun basement with air-hockey and ping pong. Well stocked kitchen implements, dishes and cookware. Cozy and wind protected outdoor sitting area for coffee, drinks or reading. Neighborhood parks within walking distance. Great BBQ restaurant and brewery nearby. Only 15 minutes to Starved Rock and great hiking trails. Note that some trails may be closed during hunting season. Overall, we had a great long weekend in LaSalle! A great combination of outdoor activities with indoor games and relaxed reading.
