Best unit in the complex! Gorgeous, thoughtful decor and finishes. Comfy furniture and updated bathroom and kitchen. We have stayed at other units and will come back to this one for sure. Great communication with owner.
We loved our stay! Our family enjoyed the location to places we wanted to explore and cleanliness of the villa. The villa was exactly as described! We would absolutely stay here again!!
It was nice. Only issue we ran into was the conrs that were supposed to be blocking our dsignated parking wasnt there and the spots were in use. However the neighbors were polite enough to move one of theirs without issue.
Aneta was an amazing host and provided us with great recommendations in the area. The house was clean and stocked. Would definitely come back again Thank you for making our stay so wonderful!
Super clean, great location near starved rock and downtown Utica. Was a little confusing to find at first but so easy once figured out. Beds were comfortable, plenty of space and nicely decorated! Grand bear has a great coffee shop. Would definitely stay again!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The home was incredibly clean and beautiful, and it was in a perfect location for our adventures at Starved Rock and Mattheissen Park. Check-in was super simple and the host was easy to communicate with before our arrival. Overall, it was a fabulous stay.
The place was really nice, well maintained, and cozy. We did stay there thinking we can buy tickets for the grand bear water park, but they do not allow day passes on Saturdays, which was disappointing since the villa is in the same resort.
My wife and I wanted a nice place to stay with a full kitchen and a "non-public" hottub. This townhome exceeded our expectations. The two-person jetted tub in the Master bedroom with a fireplace (there's a bonus fireplace on the lower level in the family room as well) was so welcome during one of the coldest weekends of the year. The below-zero wind chills kept us from hiking the lovely parks near here, but our hostess provided us with fun games to play, books to read, a comfortable bed, and absolutely SPOTLESS accommodations. We'd recommend booking here, and we will plan on doing so again as well.
The property was completely updated with amazing decor. Had any item you could imagine in the kitchen and throughout the home. Definitely a stand out compared to similar units. Host is extremely detailed and accommodating. Would stay again!
We stayed at Aneta's villa at the Grand Bear Resort right down the street from Utica, for the 2025 Wine Walk. The place was beautiful, modern and cozy. It was a nice surprise to see how well-equipped the place was. Coming from a recent stay at a popular indoor waterpark in Wisconsin (so triple the price) where there was not even extra toilet paper let alone kitchen utensils - this place had everything you would need for a great stay. Also appreciated Aneta's responsiveness. She always replied back quickly when I reached out with questions. I gave 4 stars on the Accuracy of online listing because the map is incorrect - says it is downtown Utica. It is not far but definitely not downtown, which I know Aneta is working on correcting. Thanks for a wonderful weekend!
We rented this place for a little getaway for my birthday. Very clean and cozy townhouse with all the right touches. I loved all the cozy blankets available to use, and all the extra little details. We'll definitely visit here again soon.
Everything was great- we ended up using the kitchen more then expected, but it was stocked with everything we needed. Very clean place with new finishes in the kitchen and bathrooms.
Enjoyed wonderful weekend with friends. Host thought of everything including small touches to make us feel welcome. Super clean and well stocked. Location is close to town as well as both state parks. We are looking forward to a future visit!
