Cottage Charm, 3 Bedrooms - 10 Minutes to Starved Rock!

Escape the city for the weekend and stay in this entire, private home, located just minutes from Starved Rock State Park and tons of other fun outdoor activities!

This stylish and bright 3 bedroom, 1 ½ bath home has everything you need for your getaway! So, pack a weekender bag and head down to Starved Rock Country.

Relax in the platform beds with memory foam mattresses and crisp, white linens and feather duvets.

Get your chef on in the fully stocked kitchen with cookware and dinnerware for eight. All you need to bring is your imagination and a good bottle of wine.

The bathrooms are stocked with fresh towels and all the basic amenities- just pack a toothbrush.

This home is full of light, vibrant colors and designer touches.

If you have a dog, a pet fee is required: $25.00 / per stay. Maximum two dogs. NO CATS ARE ALLOWED. Simply let me know in your introductory email that you are bringing your dog and I will send the fee request. Thanks!

The home sleeps 8 guests.
The downstairs bedroom has a queen bed. There are two upstairs bedrooms- one has a queen bed (and available twin air mattress for a child) and the other has two twin beds. There is also a full size sleeper sofa in the living room downstairs.

(Major Holiday Weekends can only be booked for a minimum of Friday-Monday.)

Amazing stay!

We had a great spring break stay and loved the house! The kids had so much fun playing air hockey and ping pong, there were treats for our pup, and we had plenty of room to spread out and relax after a long day of hiking. Also a great location- we had ice cream every day! Our kiddos insist we only stay here when we visit going forward- so much fun!

Spring Break 2025

Very cozy comfortable stay that we felt so at home in. Nice location close to many varied things to do. It was lovely to be able to enjoy home cooked meals and conversation around the sinner table, yet enjoy a nice meal out with the choices in the area. Would definitely enjoy coming back to this area.

Cozy house that is well maintained

We had a great experience with this property. This was my first time renting a home rather than staying in a hotel. I was very pleased. There were three adults and a baby in our group and having a living room to hang out in and a full service kitchen to prepare food in was simply wonderful.

Four women friends met up here for a two day get away/ catch up time. We hiked and explored in the park and them enjoyed coming back to this cute house both evenings. We had plenty of room, were able to cook our own dinner both nights and enjoyed the comfy living room in between. It was just great for our needs and exactly as described and pictured. We will certainly use this home again if in the area and highly recommend the Lindberg House.

Communicated with property manager through the app. Everything was as described. Great central location for state parks, the I and M Canal and other attractions. The only nits to pick would be the back door sticks and is a little tough to open and the parking in front of the garage was great for my Subaru BRZ, don't know how a Suburban would fair.
