Great layout. Location close to starved Rock was perfect for us. Fireplaces were a plus. Furniture may need an upgrade, but we had a great time.

6 / 10Average·May 2026
Overall, nice and comfortable. However, we had some issues ... 1) Problems with locking and unlocking the dead bolt. We had to force the door handle up and out while locking, which didn't always work (dead bolt needs to be adjusted). 2) Upper-level toilet is clogged and plunger didn't work (it was clogged before we even used it and not sure that anyone ever checked that during cleaning). Some sinks even drained slowly. 3) We were unaware that charcoal grills and BBQ'n just outside the condo was not allowed, so had to go elsewhere to a designated area outside of the resort (Matthiessen Park) to BBQ, which was inconvenient. Warning: do not leave BBQ grills outside (even is not in use) to avoid possible fines. Communication with the host was excellent. He was able to have our grills moved into the condo while we were hiking at Starved Rock State Park to avoid getting fined (yes, even if the grills are not being used). There were check-out procedures, which were good, but no check-in procedures that we could find. That would have helped, such as no outdoor BBQ'n allowed and how to force the front door up and very tight to the frame in order to get it to lock on the first attempt.
