Incredible Accommodations

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The home was incredibly clean and beautiful, and it was in a perfect location for our adventures at Starved Rock and Mattheissen Park. Check-in was super simple and the host was easy to communicate with before our arrival. Overall, it was a fabulous stay.

We rented this place for a little getaway for my birthday. Very clean and cozy townhouse with all the right touches. I loved all the cozy blankets available to use, and all the extra little details. We'll definitely visit here again soon.

Amazing place!

My wife and I wanted a nice place to stay with a full kitchen and a "non-public" hottub. This townhome exceeded our expectations. The two-person jetted tub in the Master bedroom with a fireplace (there's a bonus fireplace on the lower level in the family room as well) was so welcome during one of the coldest weekends of the year. The below-zero wind chills kept us from hiking the lovely parks near here, but our hostess provided us with fun games to play, books to read, a comfortable bed, and absolutely SPOTLESS accommodations. We'd recommend booking here, and we will plan on doing so again as well.

Perfect getaway!

We decided to take a last minute trip and found this awesome townhome! The location was perfect to get to the state parks and the Utica restaurant scene, the townhome had everything we could have needed (including brand new towels and kitchen appliances, cookware, etc.), and the host was so easy to work with. Will definitely recommend this property to others! You could tell that it was newly renovated. So nice!

Fabulous stay

I enjoyed my stay at H4 unit. I had a few issues with things not working like tge bedside lamp, fireplace in master bedroom and refridgerator not having an icemaker or cold filtered water. All minor issues honestly and when I notified the owner she compensated me promptly for the non working items. The place was very clean and decorated nicely. All the amneties you could ask for to make you feel at home.

Beautiful Property! Well-equipped

We stayed at Aneta's villa at the Grand Bear Resort right down the street from Utica, for the 2025 Wine Walk. The place was beautiful, modern and cozy. It was a nice surprise to see how well-equipped the place was. Coming from a recent stay at a popular indoor waterpark in Wisconsin (so triple the price) where there was not even extra toilet paper let alone kitchen utensils - this place had everything you would need for a great stay. Also appreciated Aneta's responsiveness. She always replied back quickly when I reached out with questions. I gave 4 stars on the Accuracy of online listing because the map is incorrect - says it is downtown Utica. It is not far but definitely not downtown, which I know Aneta is working on correcting. Thanks for a wonderful weekend!
