10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful, immaculate and comfortable for 9 people staying 2 nights. So well-equipped for toddlers with baby gates at the entrance to each stairwell. Kitchen was fully equipped. Loved the Brita water pitcher, large cutting boards, well-stocked spices and paper products (napkins, paper towel, Kleenex, garbage bags, ziplock bags) that were provided. 4 deck chairs and small table on the sun deck were perfect. Bedrooms were spacious and beds were very comfortable. Loved having 4 bathrooms (again well-stocked) to get ready for family pictures! Walking distance to Grand Bear so we enjoyed the miniature golf course. Super close to Starved Rock and Matthiesen State parks."
