This is a beautiful home with character. It was very clean and had lots of activities for all types of ages from toddlers to seniors. The pool was a plus. The hosts were very accommodating to all of our needs. There is so much to do in the area which is a huge plus, close to shopping and restaurants/bars. It being dog friendly helped a lot for my family. The people in the area are very friendly as well, just overall an awesome stay. I highly recommend.
Check in was so easy. Kitchen facilities were great - nice stainless fridge, stove, and microwave. A regular drip coffee maker, a Keurig, and a nice supply of coffee and pods. Good counter space for all the goodies. The pool was awesome - not too big and not too deep (for the little ones). The house was a perfect size for our family vacation - spacious bedrooms and 2 updated bathrooms. Highly recommend!
This was the perfect place for my teaching team to get away for the weekend and relax poolside.This was a perfectly set up house for us. It has lots of things to do a great pool table, and two kitchens! This would be an amazing space for 2 families to vacation. Ottawa, was a lot of fun to explore and their downtown area was very impressive. We even got lucky enough to be able to explore their farmer's market and maker's market and got to see a car show! This property has all the amenities you could need and had toiletries in the shower. Definitely, a 5 star and would stay again!
Older, charming well stocked, clean home Host were great and very responsive to questions Enjoyed our stay Pool definitely a hit with grandkids plenty of yard & board games Would definitely stay here again Thank you
The house was clean and check in/out was easy. It's really close to Starved Rock and Matthiessen which was the purpose of our stay. The property manager was very responsive and helpful.
We had a wonderful stay at this Ottawa Oasis! My husband, adult kids and grandkids all enjoyed it. The pool was a huge hit. The house was equipped with everything we needed. The town of Ottawa plus Starved Rock and Mathieson were all fun! The hosts were great and very responsive to questions. It was a perfect family trip!
Perfect Home for Two Families!Had an amazing stay at this property! It was absolutely perfect for a group of two families - my adult children and their families. The two kitchens were a great feature, giving each family the ability to enjoy coffee and drinks in the morning without disturbing the other. The house was clean and well-stocked with plenty of coffee options! There were so many fun activities to keep everyone entertained, including pool table, foosball, Pac-Man, axe throwing, and jumbo Connect Four. They had a blast! I can imagine how great the place is in the summer when the pool is open. The hosts even added a Christmas tree with some lights, which was a nice touch and definitely helped bring some holiday spirit to their stay.Overall, it was a great experience and Iâd definitely recommend this property for families or groups looking to relax and enjoy some quality time together.
A spacious mix of modern amenities with historic charm allows this destination to shine. Close proximity to downtown offers the opportunity to experience the best Ottawa has.
We sold our home locally and are homeless until we close on the new house in December. This place was great for us to move out to and rest at for a few days. We did our best to leave the home better than how we found it. Thanks again!!
Everything was a bit more than expected and explained. Very accommodating and well stocked with some of everything for a nice gathering or a peaceful getaway. Highly recommended.
It was a nice place to stay for our family's weekend getaway. We all loved the indoor activities available. The home was clean and inviting and the owners were very prompt with responses.
This property is located in a quiet, well established neighborhood. It is close to the historical downtown of Ottawa and just a short drive to Starved Rock and Buffalo Rock State Parks. We also visited the charming downtown in North Utica. The owners really thought of everything! There were special touches everywhere you look! It felt like a home away from home! We look forward to our next adventure and will be sure to stay here again!
Old well preserved architectural history in an expansive home! Fully equipped kitchen and a second kitchen upstairs! Comfortable beds and plenty of towels! Will recommend this house to friends visiting the area.

The house was very spacious for my big family and it was very clean! We loved relaxing by the pool and making family dinners in the spacious kitchen! The sun room was also a great spot to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee each morning. The hosts were great at communicating with us during our stay. Definitely recommend!
Everything was clean, check in was easy, and location is everything!
The home and property itself are so perfect. You are in town, but you don't feel in town! You're also minutes away from several state parksi can't wait to come back! Especially since it is so kid and dog friendly? *Note, I have older children, the youngest being 10.
Clean property with a nice layout. Quiet neighborhood. Game room. The pool was very nice for our getaway from the NW burbs of Chicago.
The host was friendly. There were plenty of amenities provided.
We planned a short getaway with our adult children. House was perfect for fun family time. We enjoyed the pool, pool table and Pac-Man. Had enough room for all to have enough space. Itâs a longer walk to downtown Ottawa than we planned, but we made do.
We had so much fun at this VRBO. It's close to Starved Rock and there is so much to do around there. Plus this house has an inground pool, a pool table, indoor axe throwing, a Pac Man Arcade Game, Fooseball and so many different board games to play. My sons and I had a great time. I would definitely stay here again.
We had the Best time at this Ottawa house. There was plenty of room, comfortable everything, and a wonderful outdoor pool. Owner was super. We will be back!
