"Large home worked well for eight 69/70 year old ladies with a view of the river from the deck along with lots of bedrooms/ beds and bathrooms. Nice large table in the main dining room to play games at. Smaller dining room has the only TV but view is obstructed by another dining table in front of the couch so IPads were used to watch college football games on. Cleaning lady missed cleaning out inside of frig along with removing a broken chair on the deck . Obtaining check in code was received later than stated."

Indoor Pool Retreat Near Chicago: Sleeps 16, Hot Tub, Sauna, 5BR/4BA

10/10 Excellent
"This place is absolutely amazing! So clean, so welcoming, and so unique and fun! The children raging in ages from baby to 12 years old had everything they needed and will never forget this vacation! There are not one but two pack and plays so the baby and the toddler’s parents did not have to pack their in already full vehicles or set them up and take them down which made arrival and leaving so much easier! The swimming pool had a little swim raft for the six month old and water squirters, floaties, swim toys and plenty of beach towels. The hot tub was big enough for several people to sit in and talk, and the temperature was adjustable. The children had so much fun exploring the house and excitedly calling to the parents to “Come look at this!”The large attic bedroom has two closets that have a window and a window seat so this grandma now has happy memories of sitting in a little cozy secret room reading books with my grandchildren and playing hide and seek up and down all three levels. There are two refrigerators, and there are two ovens! With multiple families bringing coolers of food we really appreciated that! The appliances are state-of-the-art- the fridge talks and plays music! The beds and pillows are clearly updated because they are quite comfortable. The enormous and comfortable sofa fit our whole group in a format that allowed conversation and laughter to flow easily all around while the children sat in the middle coloring around the large coffee table.
