Cottage Charm, 3 Bedrooms - 10 Minutes to Starved Rock!

Escape the city for the weekend and stay in this entire, private home, located just minutes from Starved Rock State Park and tons of other fun outdoor activities!

This stylish and bright 3 bedroom, 1 ½ bath home has everything you need for your getaway! So, pack a weekender bag and head down to Starved Rock Country.

Relax in the platform beds with memory foam mattresses and crisp, white linens and feather duvets.

Get your chef on in the fully stocked kitchen with cookware and dinnerware for eight. All you need to bring is your imagination and a good bottle of wine.

The bathrooms are stocked with fresh towels and all the basic amenities- just pack a toothbrush.

This home is full of light, vibrant colors and designer touches.

If you have a dog, a pet fee is required: $25.00 / per stay. Maximum two dogs. NO CATS ARE ALLOWED. Simply let me know in your introductory email that you are bringing your dog and I will send the fee request. Thanks!

The home sleeps 8 guests.
The downstairs bedroom has a queen bed. There are two upstairs bedrooms- one has a queen bed (and available twin air mattress for a child) and the other has two twin beds. There is also a full size sleeper sofa in the living room downstairs.

(Major Holiday Weekends can only be booked for a minimum of Friday-Monday.)

Spring Break 2025

Very cozy comfortable stay that we felt so at home in. Nice location close to many varied things to do. It was lovely to be able to enjoy home cooked meals and conversation around the sinner table, yet enjoy a nice meal out with the choices in the area. Would definitely enjoy coming back to this area.

We had a short three night four day Stay that we very much enjoyed. We really love the old and the updates matched well. The neighborhood was also really nice and easy to get around. And having the game room in the basement really made everything enjoyable.

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!

Great little house

We enjoyed our stay. It was so great to find a place that we could bring our dog. The host provided everything we needed and then some. She even leaves a nice note, chocolates and goodies for your pup. We have already decide we will visit again and ask to stay at the Lindberg home. It was well worth it and a great trip.

Perfect spot for home base in LaSalle

This cottage home fit our traveling group of 3 perfectly, and we even had more family over for an overnight, which was terrific. The house is clean, well supplied, and in easy walking distance to local parks and eats. We easily also did laundry, cooked, and played games. And the age of the home is charming, thank you Elaine!
