"Very pleasant. Thank you"

"This was a beautiful place to stay. The home was clean and beautiful, we really enjoyed the deck, it was in a great location. And the price was incredible. Just one request, I missed that the description said it was a split-level home. You should mention it is not handicapped accessible. I am in a wheelchair and the high entry step and having to go up or down stairs to get in was a challenge. Well worth the challenge, but a challenge none the less!"

"We stayed here for our weekend away and had a great time! The place was very clean and had everything we needed. There were a lot of stairs, which was a bit of a surprise but it was a very nice place to stay!"

"The Villa was amazing! Downtown Utica was a couple miles away, Starved rock was just as close. Grand Bear lodge was also very nice. Our host was great. We can’t wait to come again!"

Communication with the owner was very quick, and when we had a need it was taken care of right away. She was...

"The home is nice and spacious but the carpet and furniture need updating. "

"The host for this is lovely and so very accommodating. We had a few concerns early on that were very quickly taken care of. She called to let us know all the things that we could do in the area also, which was much appreciated! We had a great hike at Wildcat Canyon and enjoyed several meals out and some good shopping. Grand Bear as a resort was not the friendliest as far as staff goes, but our experience with this VRBO was wonderful. Highly recommend :-)"

"At first glance, this neat little two bedroom ranch style home, looked like it would fit our needs perfectly. We stayed two nights. During the first night, I woke from a sound sleep by a disgusting, putrid smell that was permeating from somewhere in the bedroom. It was dark in the room, and I could not identify the smell immediately.I went back and laid in bed. In the darkness, the smell was turning my stomach. I picked up my pillow and started smelling the pillowcase to see if that could...
