"It was very pleasant "

"The villa is spacious, clean, comfortable, and has everything you need for cooking, eating, and entertainment. The beds were comfy and the villa was situated in a quiet corner of the resort next to the woods. Had a raccoon appear at the patio door the first night; guessing that previous guests may have given it a handout. The resort is practically adjacent to Starved Rock State Park, which allowed us to hike in the early morning and get back to the villa for breakfast, then head out again. When it was too hot to hike, we played some mini golf, which is in a shady location at the resort. Great kayak rental on the opposite side of the river within a 10-minute drive. Beautiful paddle upstream along the limestone bluffs. Highly recommend this rental."

"This was the perfect place for a weekend in Starved Rock! Location is close to both Starved Rock and Matthiessen State Park, downtown Utica, and other neighboring towns. Everything was just like the listing, and bigger than we expected. We would definitely stay again!"
