Perfect Starved Rock Getaway
We stayed here for our wedding in Starved Rock. Was the perfect lodging for us and our two teenage kids - perfect proximity to the state parks as well as being able to connect with family/friends who were staying at Grand Bear. The host was great and the unit itself was clean and very comfortable.

We had plenty of room upstairs and down. We used the dining room table for game and eating. One of the beds was not comfortable. We could have used another bathroom instead of a jucuzzi. The host was the best!!!!

Martin's place was spacious, clean, decluttered, and it had all the amanities we needed. We did not miss anything from home. Comfortable beds, plenty of towels, and great communication from Martin. 3 minutes from State Parks, which is awesome after hiking for hours. Downtown Utica is cute and it has charm, but the food is overly priced and not that great. Drive about 5-7 mins to Sam's Pizza where you'll find a hole-in-the-wall dinner with a 75 year-old Italian man, hand-making pizza (only $10 for a large). Overall, a good time and good experience. I would go back to Martin's place.

My husband, two sons, and I staid Thursday through Sunday and it was a great time. Location was perfect being on the ground for the resort gave us many amenities to take advantage of. One child is 12, the other turned 7 and both boys enjoyed this vacation.

Family Stay
Our family needed to find a place to stay that was affordable and immediate, due to loss of a family member. Our host, Martin, was very accommodating and helpful throughout this process. Our cabin was very clean and had alot of extra’s, such as a washer and dryer and full kitchen equipped with mostly anything we needed to be able to cook for all of us. The location was both beautiful and peaceful and this was comforting in our downtime, and much needed, due to the circumstances.

Great Stay in Utica
We spent 2 nights in Martin’s condo. It is spacious, homey, with a great location. The condo was clean, uncluttered, and had all the necessities needed which included a nice coffee maker and Keurig so you can bring your own preference. Martin was helpful and responded to any questions we had promptly. We hope to stay there again in the near future.
