We gathered for my mom’s 80th birthday. It was fantastic. Lots of room for a 2 year old to run around, and for our birthday gathering. Great to have 2 showers and lots of space for sleeping. Great location. We will definitely go back.

This is our second time staying at the property and should be no reason that we won’t book for a third year moving forward. We absolutely love the property and its close proximity to Starved Rock State Park and the town of Utica.
