    We have our family Reunions at this location. They always make our visits very comfortable and the staff is pleasant to work with.

    First impression: WOW! How many times can you say to your friends and family that you stayed in a…read moregrain bin? It's incredible how transformed it is inside! Marcia is a wonderful hostess. Very flexible, welcoming and great conversationalist! She called to make sure we arrived all right since we were getting in late, and gave us plenty of breakfast options for the morning. It was gorgeous to see the moon out the window in the bedroom loft and be away from the city lights. We even woke up to birds happily chirping right outside our window, too! The silo is quite roomy, perfect for quiet getaways away from the noise of modern day life. There are modern amenities like a TV, but why bother when you can enjoy snuggling around the ironcast fireplace? We will definitely be recommending this once in a life time experience to all Starved Rock/outdoor adventurers!

    One day, I was abducted. No need to be sorry for me; I had…read moreactually been warned in advance by an "anonymous" letter which was signed "The Bridal Shower Gang". My friends had indeed decided to take me away from my groom-to-be for a weekend to be just-us-girls together. They set their choice on a rustic retreat, far from the city and all the book-induced headaches that we all shared as students/instructors at U of C. So after a little ride in Mimi's old faithful we arrive in the outskirts of Ottowa and park in front of a silo. The weather is really grey, a cold wind is blowing and we are welcome by Marcia, the lady of the house. Emmanuelle quickly leaves us behind to go say hi to Mary-go-round, the local mare while we patiently listen to Marcia explaining all the high and lows of the area. If you don't know where to go, what to do or what to eat - she's definitely your woman and an endless well of information............ The premises are nice but not fancy. The silo we stayed in was newly renovated and it showed - there's a neat mezzanine with a queen size bed and a couple pieces of furniture, a adorable bathroom and a lot of kitchen amenities (microwave, fridge, a burner, glasses, etc.) and a wood-burning stove - which was much appreciated in this cold November weekend! There's also an AC unit for the summer months. Overall it's a cool place to hang out - but you have not to mind sleeping in the bathroom or on a bench under the window....if it sounds weird, it's because it is! I also have to mention the dozen or so of dead flies by the upstairs window...I didn't mind them but I would understand if some people don't enjoy their company that much. If you decide to go pay a visit to Marcia, the silo is your best bet. The little house where my other friends stayed didn't sound too appetizing, and even rural charm has its limits: the three of them had to share the bed because the couches were covered with mouse excrement.... and it really looked worn out, like an old hunting hut which hasn't known the loving touch of a woman for years. Almost everything was forgotten though the next morning around breakfast which was plentiful, satisfying and filled with the purrs of Simba, the most adorable and social cat we had ever seen..... It is 10 minutes away from Starved Rock State Park and it really makes you forget the hustling and bustling of the city. And Miss Illinois slept there!!! If THAT is not an argument!!!

    I have to chime in after Steven M. review. No he is Not exaggerating and for the record its…read moreJONESY'S Ranch House ,not that it matters. Place USED to be a very good steak house. Now its just a confusing mess unless you are a local or live in the area. Man i can't imagine being from out of town and stopping in there. Besides being a motel that gets used by hunters during shotgun deer season and a few construction crews every now and again i don't know how it remains open . Let me sum it up... Go here if your looking for a rough crowd in the basement bar and like ordering your room from the bartender so every biker in there knows where your staying . I f you are somewhat sane and like places that actually have an office and check in area with someone to help you.. look elsewhere..!.. Princeton and Spring Valley both have better. My experience i came into a stairway with a hand written note that said ''This WAY TO HELL' with an arrow pointing down the stairs. Yes i continued downstairs to a small bar with about 6 bikers who all stared at first like who the hell is this guy? I ordered a beer sat down and waited for my buddy from Aurora who was on his way down to deer hunt with me and stay at this place. After 1 beer the old crazy biker lady 2 seats to my left slid her empty shot glass down to me .. i immediately slid it back , this went on 3 or 4 times until she stood up in a drunken rage and tried to get in my face when her husband grabbed her and apologized . No big deal but i cant imagine wanting to sit through that to get a room ,because that's how it was a few yrs back you get your room downstairs from the bartender. Can't imagine being from out of town , needing a room and going through all that ,or being a non-drinker or having kids and having to haul them to the bar for a dang motel room. What a complete joke!! and a bad one at that. Unless they have completely changed this place and the owner could provide pictures of how friendly it is now , stay away from this place unless you love trouble.

    Hey I wanted to let you know that you are safe from this place. Some fool burnt the place to the…read moreground.
