This was a very close distance from the city (Chicago) making our travel time with small kids painless. The location, town, everything was so convenient! The kids had a great time running up and down the hill, playing in the water, and even walking up and down the street which was surprisingly low and slow traffic which gave us peace of mind with the kiddos out door. The guest house was clean and well maintained, and was the perfect size for a family of four, but could easily fit a couple more people without being too crowded. Highly recommend!
