The family cabins that sleep up to 18 are perfect for a blended family getaway. The view was outstanding and the area offers lots of activities and eating options.

Patrick, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The villa was very spacious. However, wifi was very spotty, jacuzzi didn't work, and kitchen had very few pots and pans. The waterpark locker room is small and pretty useless if you need to change.
David, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location for Starved rock and Matthiessen State park. Nice place to stay, it’s a little older but upkeep and Cleanliness keeps it nice!
Jeremy, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It’s was very relaxing and cozy…up to date…the patio doors just need to be sealed off lots of ladybugs and harmless bugs
Abria, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Really enjoyed our stay however the pool and arcade hours are quite disappointing in the off season. A lot of food options within 10 minutes. Very quiet location and great desk staff.
