The Rock Cottage - 3 Min to Starved Rock

ElizabethRating, 5 stars1 week ago

My husband and I had an incredible time during our stay in The Rock Cottage. I reserved the place as a getaway for my husband’s birthday, and Amy and Laura made the visit particularly lovely. We loved the privacy of the fire pit after hiking and exploring all day, and walking around town was beyond easy given the location of the place. And for moments needing a bit of tech, the WiFi was flawless and we had no problem accessing streaming services. Without a doubt, we recommend this place for anyone looking to slow down and enjoy greenery.

A big shout out to Matthew and Stephanie for providing my family with a first rate experience during our stay. They were very timely and responsive in their communication, and their airbnb is probably the cleanest and most up-to-date that we've stayed in so far. We really appreciate their hospitality and would recommend them to anyone.

Middle of everything, Close to Starved Rock

ColleenRating, 5 stars2 months ago

The entire building is very clean, from the entrance to the actual unit. Debra was easily contacted and responded quickly. The train sounds it horn at crossings and the unit is near the crossing, it is loud and it vibrates the unit. We weren’t really bothered by this or missed sleep because of it. This is our second time staying at this listing and would stay again if needed.

Outdoor Paradise

JoeRating, 5 stars1 week ago

This place is what air bnb is supposed to be. Comfy, cozy, all the necessities and also some extras. Hosts were great and left us snacks and even some treats for our dogs. The yard was very spacious and private. Firewood was included for the fire pit. Laundry supplies also were included. The bed was comfortable too. Water pressure was also pretty good too which was a very nice change of pace! Some good hiking is very close by as well as some good food options in the dow town area. I don't give out five stars often, but this is one of those times for sure. 👍
