IMPORTANT NOTICES:

Our cabin is not part of the hotel pool at Grizzly Jack's resort and therefore we please ask our guests to not make inquiries at the resort reception desk since it's only for guests who are staying in one of the cabins managed by the hotel.

My villa is not affiliated with the lodge, therefore I DO NOT have waterpark passes for my guests.

Bigger and better than I expected.
I'm familiar with housing options at Starved Rock and this was quiet, private, clean, spacious, conveniently located and kept in good condition. The outfitted kitchen worked nicely and our host welcomed us with the Ring Door Bell when we were figuring out the lock. Very nice place that I would reserve again.

The property manager can not control this, but the neighboring villa had a large number of people in/out and were very loud in the middle of the night.
