Apr 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect for our needs Great property, as advertised. Our plans centered around hiking in the local state parks, and it's the perfect location for that. Our needs were simple and they were met here. We stayed super cozy amid the blustery winds and rains of late March, and we loved that we could have our dog with us. ##### Emily S. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Kelly D.

The owners house is right behind the property so we kept the blinds closed on that side and left the porch side open to view acres of beautiful farmland. Had an amazing time hiking starved rock with the changing leaves in fall. ##### Neil S. Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Kris D. Oct 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fall weekend hiking getaway The location was perfect, the house was clean with quiet location. Difficulty with keypad on door- probably set at single use versus multiple check ins. Oven was broke, but countertop oven was available. Unusual set up with huge bathroom and with bed in the great room area next to front door. ##### Kris D. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Allie L. Apr 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect weekend getaway! This was the perfect property for a weekend getaway. Simple place with ample room around the property for or dog to run. The big soaking tub was a major plus. Host was quick with communication & check in was easy. Would definitely book again! I recommend bringing a white noise machine (or app) if you’re coming on a day that happens to be super windy (like it was for us!). ##### Allie L.

He was so nice and replied to all my messages right away. Very easy to deal with and very accommodating. Second, the place was a hidden gem. I fell in love with the house and everything about the property as soon as we got there. The house was clean and fully stocked. Loved the lay out of the cottage. The land was huge which was perfect for our fur baby. It had a treehouse which my husband loved and visited often…lol. It was so relaxing there, I didn’t way to leave. We will definitely visit again soon. ##### GRACE D. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Monica V. Oct 14, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Hidden Gem We are in town from NC for a wedding, and traveling with a 1yr pup. Booked a charming farmette in LaSalle County…3-5 miles from friends, family, and Grand Bear Lodge (the wedding venue). It should be called Hidden Gem…charming, quiet, clean, & lots of yard for pup to run. 1 bed so max guests 2…Bonus, need more room- there is another house on the property, just as cute and a bit bigger. Newly acquired in the past 2 mos, Joe (our VRBO host) just redid the house! It is so cute! Washer & dryer, dishwasher, blow dryer, all the amenities one would need! Close to Starved Rock State Park, Mathiessen Park, Utica- it is perfect for Fall Colors, Burgoo, etc. We will be back to this hidden gem! ##### Monica V.
