Sep 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful getaway Technicolor retreat was a great relaxing getaway. The home is lovely and the location on the river was so relaxing after a day in the Dunes or Chicago. It felt very secluded and private. We can’t wait to go back. We were able to take our golden retriever who loves all things woods and water. Wish we could have stayed longer! ##### Glenna G. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alicia H.
