Starved Rock Rustic Retreat

VanessaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

This was a wonderful place to stay while my sister and I were hiking in the area. It was close to the state parks and was a quiet and peaceful place. The decor was perfect for the cabin-type feel of the home and having two bedrooms and two bathrooms was great. The additional vanity area in the master bedroom with a sink was a wonderful bonus! We also enjoyed the jacuzzi after hiking for several hours each day, and the beds were very comfortable. I highly recommend staying here!

A dining area is featured with a wooden table surrounded by six chairs with upholstered seats. Natural light enters through nearby windows, illuminating the space. A gray couch is positioned in the background, complemented by a decorative centerpiece on the table and stylish light fixtures overhead.

Very nice place. I’d love to come back and try another cottage or stay in the same site. Clear instructions/communications. Perfect location/distance from highway (came from Chicago). Really good food nearby. Quiet time and privacy - great for a peaceful getaway to recharge and reconnect. Clean and organized space.
