Amazing!! The townhouse is clean, spacious and equipped with everything you need!! The grandchildren loved all the indoor and outdoor games and toys! The adults appreciated the cleanliness and convenient location to Starved Rock and a neighboring resort with a water park, mini putt and playground. It is the perfect choice for a family stay!!!

The place was really nice, well maintained, and cozy. We did stay there thinking we can buy tickets for the grand bear water park, but they do not allow day passes on Saturdays, which was disappointing since the villa is in the same resort.

We rented this place for a little getaway for my birthday. Very clean and cozy townhouse with all the right touches. I loved all the cozy blankets available to use, and all the extra little details. We'll definitely visit here again soon.
