"Best night of sleep I’ve had in years. It’s heaven. The vibe is on point and it is so peaceful. Exactly what we were looking for.
If you are looking for the perfect escape, just outside of Chicago, look no further! Mike is a fabulous host and the treehouse was quite possibly the coziest dwelling I’ve encountered on Airbnb to date. We celebrated a bday with a girls getaway, and despite intentions of going out, the treehouse was too amazing to leave and once our cars were parked, they were never restarted until our exit. Not only does the treehouse have EVERYTHING you need, but you can access the Starved Rock trails from the treehouse door AND if you want/need to go to town, it is only 5-10 min away. Mike is also super helpful with local recommendations! Do yourself a favor and book now before it’s too late, you will not regret it!"

"10/10! The hosts made sure our stay was amazing. From the stunning design of the treehouse to the wonderfully comfortable beds and living area, every detail was carefully considered to ensure the comfort of each guest. The treehouse is located near the beautiful hiking trails of Starved Rock as well as many local restaurants and a winery. We truly enjoyed our romantic winter stay and look forward to returning!"
