Would stay here again. Reasonably priced, with plenty of room to spread out for a two bedroom condo. Easy access to Starved Rock State Park and the Illinois River for boating.

The villa was very nice. It fit our large family of 7 perfectly. The rooms were large, the jet tub was nice. The kitchen was fully stocked. It was nice having the washer and dryer and vacuum/broom handy as well. It just really felt like home away from home. The only down fall is putt putt is expensive ($53 for 6 ppl), but it was a fun course and you have to pay for the water park. We ended up driving into Sheridan to the Purates Cay Waterpark cause ut was almost half the cost. Kids liked the playground Grand Bear. Drinks at the patio bar were expensive. There is an awesome bar right down the road called Ano Del Gallo. Food was awesome and so were the drinks and Staff. Right up the road was also the little downtown of Utica. Great little strip of stores. Starved Rock and Mathessen park are a short hop down the road as well. We really enjoyed our stay here.
