The house is absolutely adorable! The beds were comfortable, the shower was refreshing and the fenced in back yard with fire pit was perfect. Elaine was such a wonderful, receptive host. We will definitely stay here again.

Girls Getaway

Property as described—clean, well provided, tastefully decorated, safe neighborhood. Elaine easy to work with & there is a super informative binder of information provided. Elaine even provided a few goodies for our dog—he LOVED checking out the fenced in backyard! Only tiny recommendation would be to provide hook/hooks in bathroom.

Not the greatest

Windows are filthy and have a fog on them. Window blinds are broken and some pieces missing. Driveway is narrow and when you get out of your vehicle you are forced to get scratches from rose bushes! Chair in back yard were plastic and cracked so when you sit with shorts on, it pinches your skin.

Girlfriends reunion

What a fabulous time we had! The house was very clean and nicely decorated. And thank goodness for the air conditioner because it was during the extreme heat warning. Yikes! The beds, pillows, and linens were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. Great water pressure and nice hot water. Elaine was very accommodating and responded quickly to any questions I had. Will definitely stay here again! Thanks Elaine!

Welcoming Home in Lasalle, Il

Very nice and welcoming home we used for a Wedding in LaSalle, Illinois. Very clean and well maintained home.

Every happy with the stay and the fence in yard for the dogs and kids to play in.

Excellent accommodations

The house was beautiful & clean, the furniture, the games, records, welcome basket for our pup was all amazing. The backyard is perfect, our dog loved it as well. We needed to contact our host & she was so quick in responding, it was not a house issue! Very comfortable bed and plenty of room to spread out. I would definitely go back! Nice town, people would wave and say hello. Perfect getaway!

Perfect cute little getaway house

Having grown up in the area, we stayed here as we were in town for a wedding, and this cute house fit the bill. The bathroom was recently remodeled, as well as the kitchen. Clean and comfortable, and with hot summer weather the excellent AC made for pleasant sleeping. Neighborhood was nice and quiet, and very convenient.

All the Comforts of Home

The Tonti is a wonderful home away from home. Elaine is a stellar hostess, providing us with everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. She even left a little welcome basket for my pup 🐶 We especially appreciated the proximity to state parks as well as the fenced yard and seating areas.

Peaceful Retreat

The home was very clean and tidy. We appreciated having the kitchen to be able to cook and the close proximity of a variety of restaurants. The back yard was completely surrounded by privacy fence and made it so easy to bring the dogs with us. We visited two state parks and this property was in an ideal location for both. While we were on our trip the host even messaged me about some local activities that were going on. The beds were comfortable (even though I typically don't care for memory foam) and the house cooled really quickly when we returned for the day and would turn the AC down.

Great vacation home for the family and dog

We had a great visit with my elderly parents and our dog. They had all the comforts of home, a nice fenced yard for the dog, great location and the queen mattresses were oh so comfy. The neighborhood was very quiet and we felt very safe. The host was very prompt in getting back to me if I had questions. There were goodies left for the humans and our dog. Five stars and five paws! We will stay again the next time we are in the area.
