The host provided many good suggestions and ensured the home was well aligned for our stay. The town of La Salle is pretty small - while the places we went were very good, there weren't many places available to go - just be prepared that while the location is convenient to walk downtown, there really isn't much of a downtown to walk to. You may also wish to consider a different stay if you are opposed to firm mattresses. The mattresses at this stay were the most firm I have ever slept on. If a small town and a extra firm mattress don't matter to you, then a great place to consider. ##### Jody Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amanda S.

Elaine has provided many amenities and it was a treat to return from long hiking days to a home with plenty of task lighting, good water pressure, plenty of hot water, and comfy furniture. We cooked two meals and had every kitchen item we needed. We also enjoyed spending time in the town of LaSalle which has a lot of history. I would definitely stay at this home again when we return to explore the area! ##### Jim and Bonny S. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kurt D.

We stayed with our two daughters both under 5, and they loved it. The played all over the house but really liked the play area and spent time coloring too. Fire pit was great for hot dogs and s‘ mores (good idea to stop at Casey’s before and get a couple bundles of firewood) after a long day of hiking at Starved Rock. Perfect location on a quiet street and easy to get to the park about 10 minutes away. We most definitely will stay again when we go back! ##### Kurt D.

This property was absolutely perfect for my husband and I and our three-year-old daughter and our dog. The backyard is perfect for pets and we really enjoyed the patio set up, where we had fires and ate most of our meals. The house literally has everything you need and was incredibly clean. Elaine left great communication for us and made traveling to the state parks even easier than planned. The neighborhood is nice and quiet and it’s very easy to get to the state parks, Utica and Ottawa. August Hill winery has some great wine and is nearby! I recommend this property and we would definitely stay again if we were in the area. Thank you! ##### Amy C. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ryan M.

The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals and we ate on the lovely deck out back. The fenced yard was a wonderful bonus that allowed our dog to live his best life outside with us. Would definitely stay here again. ##### Julie P. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Sep 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Charming and quirky home perfect for a getaway with friends! Loved the fire pit and cooking in the spacious kitchen as well as dining outside on the large deck. Our dogs loved the fenced in yard and the host was even kind enough to leave a little gift bag for them - so sweet! Having bedrooms on separate levels was a big plus for privacy. Would stay again. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Art B.

The place was very clean and comfortable! It was fun hanging in the back fenced in yard and grilling some steaks with a fire going in the fire pit! Would stay again! ##### Kristy L.

Outdoor space was our favorite and something we look for in a rental. Host supplied lots of great info on the area which was helpful. Would definitely rent again!! ##### Brenda E.
