Great place, especially if you are fond of old houses! Very clean and comfortable. It seemed to have everything one would need (towels, dishes, soaps, etc). Check in process smooth, appreciated the expectations for leaving so I could go right down the list. Also appreciated the list of food options.
Well maintained; Owner was responsive when we had questions. When the coffee maker didn't work, a new one was delivered the same day! Very convienient to Starved Rock, Buffalo Rock and Matthiessen State Parks. Enjoyed the fire pit out back in the private yard.
Our yearly retreat was so well framed by this home full of beautiful wood and tile detailing, a large dining table for all of us to sit together, 4 bedrooms and 6 beds (1 pull-out couch and 1 air mattress), and EXTREMELY CLEAN FLOORS. Like, we walked around barefoot indoors and got NO CRUMBS OR DUST on our feet until after weâd eaten a few meals. I was really impressed by how clean the place was. Elaine was quick to respond when the dishwasher stopped working, and we figured things out! Really close to a grocery store and several lovely parks
The vintage home was very nice inside but the neighborhood was run-down and there was no off-street parking. The property was way too expensive for the location.
Elaineâs was a great place to celebrate a milestone birthday with friends! With four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and the option of a pull out couch and air mattress, we had room for multiple adults to be comfortable. The large and well-equipped kitchen and big dining room table were perfect for collaborating on meals and playing games. We enjoyed pizza from Fire on Fifth and day hikes at Starved Rock. We recommend Elaineâs for a group celebration or holiday!
This property was exactly as pictured and described. The bedrooms and bathrooms are well-maintained, there were plenty of linens, and additional chairs in the dining room allowed all guests to comfortably sit for meals and entertainment. The kitchen is stocked with plenty of plates and glasses for a larger group. Overall, we had an excellent stay and highly recommend this property.
Perfect home away from home for our visit to the Starved Rock area while attending a family wedding. Beautiiful home, extremely comfortably bedding. Will return next time we're in the area!!âĄ
Our daughter was getting married and we knew we needed to rent a lot of quality properties for friends and family. We trust Elaine as an amazing host and only rent from her when we visit LaSalle. The house was beautiful and well appointed with the perfect barn and comfort and historical charm. Elaine has thought of everything and even left fresh flowers on the table. The house was clean, comfortable, and fit our family and friends perfectly.
The house was well maintained. Communication with Elaine was excellent. Beds were comfortable. Elaineâs had nice touches such as having some bottled water and chocolates out. That was sweet. Nice book with things to do, food options etc.
Only downside was that neighborhood was not as well maintained as her house.
House was clean and stocked with all the dishes, supplies, towels we needed. A short drive to Starved Rock for hiking and a nice sized back yard for the kids to play. Would definitely stay again.
We spent a lovely weekend with family around the large dining room table for games as well as the spacious seating out back. Lovely home with a lot of charm
We had four families staying with our kids and this was a great stay! I wish the backyard was enclosed for our littles, but it was a great space, with games and space for everyone. Good access to Starved Rock!
Eleven of us (8 adults and 3 young children) stayed at Elaineâs home for a weekend or fun, laughter and hiking. The house was extremely clean and the beds were super cozy. The backyard was a perfect size to enjoy privacy, the fire pit and a game of catch. Elaineâs recommendation binder was so helpful and informative on the local restaurants, hiking and shopping. I would definitely recommend this vrbo to anyone staying in the area. My friends and I are already planning our next trip to Elaineâs home.
We came here to stay for the weekend for hiking and the starved rock 1/2 marathon. The house is very clean and charming. The beds are very comfortable. Elaine is a wonderful host; great communication and ideas for places to go in the area. Nice back outdoor space.
Beautiful house thats been updated. Went for a girls hiking trip and this was a great place for myself and friends to share. Well stocked with the little things youd need! Three bathrooms was a big plus especially with six ladies!
Location is amazing! Scenic drive to Starved Rock. The house had everything we needed to make our weekend trip comfortable. Host responded quickly and was very accommodating. Thank you for going out of your way to making our family trip memorable!
