Cottage Charm, 3 Bedrooms - 10 Minutes to Starved Rock!

Escape the city for the weekend and stay in this entire, private home, located just minutes from Starved Rock State Park and tons of other fun outdoor activities!

This stylish and bright 3 bedroom, 1 ½ bath home has everything you need for your getaway! So, pack a weekender bag and head down to Starved Rock Country.

Relax in the platform beds with memory foam mattresses and crisp, white linens and feather duvets.

Get your chef on in the fully stocked kitchen with cookware and dinnerware for eight. All you need to bring is your imagination and a good bottle of wine.

The bathrooms are stocked with fresh towels and all the basic amenities- just pack a toothbrush.

This home is full of light, vibrant colors and designer touches.

If you have a dog, a pet fee is required: $25.00 / per stay. Maximum two dogs. NO CATS ARE ALLOWED. Simply let me know in your introductory email that you are bringing your dog and I will send the fee request. Thanks!

The home sleeps 8 guests.
The downstairs bedroom has a queen bed. There are two upstairs bedrooms- one has a queen bed (and available twin air mattress for a child) and the other has two twin beds. There is also a full size sleeper sofa in the living room downstairs.

(Major Holiday Weekends can only be booked for a minimum of Friday-Monday.)

I stayed at the property with girlfriends and our dogs for a girls weekend. The property was clean and had everything that we needed for the weekend (and more). We loved the air hockey and ping pong in the basement. The host was very nice and was easy to get ahold of. I would definitely stay here again.

We felt welcome and had fun visiting Starved Rock. It’s about a 15 minute drive to the lodge so not bad! The kids enjoyed the ice cream place down the street and our senior dog enjoyed the treats that were left for us. Thank you for a lovely time!

Cozy house that is well maintained
We had a great experience with this property. This was my first time renting a home rather than staying in a hotel. I was very pleased. There were three adults and a baby in our group and having a living room to hang out in and a full service kitchen to prepare food in was simply wonderful. The property is very well maintained and delightfully clean!

Comfortable, well-appointed bungalow
A really charming, well stocked 3 bedroom 1 & 1/2 bath home. Original wood doors and Moulding, corner cupboards and some wood flooring. Spacious dining and living room and fun basement with air-hockey and ping pong. Well stocked kitchen implements, dishes and cookware. Cozy and wind protected outdoor sitting area for coffee, drinks or reading. Neighborhood parks within walking distance. Great BBQ restaurant and brewery nearby. Only 15 minutes to Starved Rock and great hiking trails. Note that some trails may be closed during hunting season. Overall, we had a great long weekend in LaSalle! A great combination of outdoor activities with indoor games and relaxed reading.

Very happy with our stay!
We were very pleased with our stay at The Lindberg. The house was a perfect size for us. It was very comfortable and a perfect location to visit our family who lives across the street. It was very clean. We loved the ping pong table and air hockey table in the basement that we used with our 5 & 9 year old nieces. So much fun!! Thank you we would definitely recommend the Lindberg and plan on visiting it again soon. Thank you!!

Communicated with property manager through the app. Everything was as described. Great central location for state parks, the I and M Canal and other attractions. The only nits to pick would be the back door sticks and is a little tough to open and the parking in front of the garage was great for my Subaru BRZ, don't know how a Suburban would fair.

Very comfortable, cozy place!
Four women friends met up here for a two day get away/ catch up time. We hiked and explored in the park and them enjoyed coming back to this cute house both evenings. We had plenty of room, were able to cook our own dinner both nights and enjoyed the comfy living room in between. It was just great for our needs and exactly as described and pictured. We will certainly use this home again if in the area and highly recommend the Lindberg House.

Perfect spot for home base in LaSalle
This cottage home fit our traveling group of 3 perfectly, and we even had more family over for an overnight, which was terrific. The house is clean, well supplied, and in easy walking distance to local parks and eats. We easily also did laundry, cooked, and played games. And the age of the home is charming, thank you Elaine!

La Salle - Lindberg House
The house is older but so cute. Everything was very clean. The code worked great for the door (no key to loose). The neighborhood was quiet and close to restaurants, shopping and activities. We brought our dogs and there were dog treats , a dog toy, poop bags and bowls for us to use. The appliances seemed newer and everything worked great. All communication with the owner was answered quickly. She is super nice. Would stay here again
