Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Starved Rock State Park

This was one of the best air bnbs we have stayed at. Extremely clean and very peaceful location. We had everything we needed! Our children appreciated the toys and the playset in the backyard. Only 15 min drive to starved rock. Lots of great restaurants and parks in Ottawa. Jennifer is a great host and we will definitely be back! Would 100% recommend!

Me and my husband had an amazing experience at Kathryn’s place, it was a perfect getaway from the work and city hustle . Check-in was super easy, place super clean and cozy, perfect for a short-term getaway. Super convenient location and great atmosphere overall! Will keep her place in mind for the future record for sure! Thank you, Kathryn!

Had a great stay, and the house was as advertised. Lots of room and easy to stay at.

What a lovely home! It felt like we were staying in a museum (which I’ve always wanted to do), but without the do not touch signs! The furnishings and design are all perfect for the historic setting and comfortable as well. Bill is amazing at communicating quickly and didn’t seem to mind all the questions I sent him as a first-time user of Airbnb! Entry is on a keypad and the house had all the supplies we needed. I hope very much to stay there again!

This place has everything I was looking for. Tyler and his family met us at check in and were very friendly. My parents drove in from Arizona with their trailer and Tyler was nice enough to let them park it on the property for the duration of the stay. Even with the trailer, there was still a ton of land for their two large dogs and our little dog to run around and enjoy themselves. The hot tub and fire pit area were great and they even left a huge bundle of wood for us to use.The house was immaculate and decorated nicely. The house has a lot of history that you can read about in one section of the house. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals and plenty of dishes, glasses, coffee mugs and silverware. The dishwasher made clean up easy. The dining room had a large table where we enjoyed all our family meals. There is a washer and dryer that we used while there that was very convenient. In all The whole house/land was very clean, private and spacious. Highly recommended.

Very cute, clean and comfortable! Had everything we needed. Love the location-very close to Starved Rock and Matthiessen which was our reason to be in Ottawa. Hosts sent a guide of things to do in the area and now we plan to come back! Loved the information they provided. Excellent communication and instructions. Highly recommend!

This is a great weekend getaway for friends or family! Michelle was a great host by checking in with me during the first couple hours of our stay making sure that we were satisfied with everything. We had zero problems with the state of the house, pool, and hot tub. Our stay was great!

My family and I stayed for a long weekend while visiting some local state parks. The house was within 15 minutes of the two parks we visited. Upon arriving, we found the house clean, inviting, and very well stocked with all the supplies you could need. The back porch was a very relaxing spot where we spent our afternoons. The recreation room was a huge hit with the kids also! We would recommend this house with five stars and would stay again!

An incredible experience connecting to nature and others! You're really afforded the choice between an intimate private stay or an inspiring communal experience, and both are incredible. My favorite part (aside from the delicious wood-fired pizza) was the farm tour and learning about regenerative agriculture. It's an optional tour that we're so glad we opted into. We had no kiddos with us, but it's probably helpful to note that it's extremely kid friendly! We star-gazed at night and woke up to a beautiful chorus of birds. Overall: 10/10 would recommend!

The place was exactly as pictured and we had an amazing stay! The bed and couch were very comfortable and all the personalities they have made were so nice! Hosts were very response and place was easy to find. We loved that everything was in walking distance as well.

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.

Best Airbnb we’ve stayed at! Very spacious, clean, and comfortable. The location was perfect with easy parking nearby.

Beautiful loft. Intentional modern decor. Full kitchen. Beautiful bathroom. Comfortable King bed. Several yummy restaurants and a Coffee shop within walking distance. We loved our stay at the Brycelyn and would recommend to any couple.

Very nice place, walking distance to restaurants

Lisa’s accommodations were private, serene and comfortable, very clean and thoughtful for guests. She is a great host.

Everything was clean and very nice and comfortable. It was private and cozy, just what we were looking for. It was quiet and peaceful. I would definitely come back.

Great spot to go with friends and family. They have a water park, arcade, mini golf, and an ice cream place. We had a fun time at this resort and would definitely do it again!

This was a wonderful place to stay while my sister and I were hiking in the area. It was close to the state parks and was a quiet and peaceful place. The decor was perfect for the cabin-type feel of the home and having two bedrooms and two bathrooms was great. The additional vanity area in the master bedroom with a sink was a wonderful bonus! We also enjoyed the jacuzzi after hiking for several hours each day, and the beds were very comfortable. I highly recommend staying here!

Cabin was great just as advertised. Very enjoyable stay would recommend

Beautiful, spacious home. Had the amenities that were listed. Will need to bring shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, and extra rolls of toilet paper, and this is listed in the details. The home was spotless and welcoming for our executive team retreat. How to instructions were provided and worked perfectly. Grateful for this opportunity to share dedicated time with my team in a space that allowed everyone to have personal space even when sharing a room. The bedrooms are enormous and lovely.

The villa was exactly as advertised. Clean, spacious and very welcoming.

The place was clean and spacious, a lot larger than we’d expected! It was a great spot to stay for visiting Starved Rock. We’d definitely book again!

We spent two nights at Ellie’s place. It was just as described and it had the amenities described on the post. Ellie was responsive to questions I had and concerns.

So much larger than expected and the beds were comfortable!
