On August 8th 2019 I made a reservation for accommodations on the Expedia platform, which utilized…read moreHomeAdvisor as an intermediary. This is the same company that lists on AirBNB under Starved Rock Cabin Group. The reservation for accommodations was made on August 8th 2019 for a stay in Oglesby IL at accommodations provided by this business. On August 14th I learned that the booking does not include waterpark passes, whereas booking directly with the Resort includes them. I called HomeAway on Aug 14th and spoke to a representative about the possibility of cancelling the reservation with the intention of booking the dates directly with the Resort. The representative had misunderstood the request and cancelled the reservation without refund. HomeAway then got the homeowner, Sam on the phone. The owner said that he was willing to reinstate the reservation and provided me his phone number while on the line with HomeAway representative. Once I called the homeowner directly, he offered to refund the amount paid though HomeAway for the reservation and rebook the reservation through him directly. I have been in contact is Sam and Matt in regards to reinstating the reservation. They both make promises that this will be done but do not follow though. Sam and Matt, did not act in good faith during my communications with them. It appears to me that their intent is to keep the reservation money and re-rent the unit to someone new.

My family and I stayed here over Easter weekend and had a wonderful time. We stayed in a villa,…read moreC-3. Small issue with the villa. The villa sleeps 10 people MAX, but it was only 3 wine glasses, 8 regular drinking glasses and no champagne glasses. If 10 people were here, everyone couldn't drink water or wine, again small problem, not a deal breaker. Also all the ceiling fans squeak when turned on. The beds were soft and comfortable even the pull out sofa beds throughout the villa. The hotel staff were very friendly and welcoming. The master suite balcony door was stuck, we called the front desk and within 15 minutes maintenance came and fixed the door. Walmart is 16 minutes away and Target is about 4 minutes from Walmart. The waterpark was great. My 6 year old and 2 year old daughters throughly enjoyed themselves. The lazy river was great, the wave pool was awesome. The kids enjoyed the water slides. Overall, it was a great family getaway. Not too far from Chicago, but close enough for us to definitely return.

I absolutely will never stay here again and I promise you, if you do, you will regret it.

7 of us stayed at treehouse #3 and enjoyed our stay. These were designed nicely and are actually up…read morein the trees! The house was kept clean and I appreciated all the info on where to go/who to contact. Everything was extremely cozy, modern and the VIEWS. Stunnnning! There is a screened in area with a large table which was great for us. We were all able to fit and have our meals together there. I also love love love how the house has a very large deck/balcony. Again the views! STUNNING. I noticed that our house was the only 1 that didn't have an additional spiral staircase, we also didn't have a picnic table outside like the others. During 1 of the overnights the fire alarm/carbon monoxide detectors went off. We tried to reach out to Mike and his phone went straight to VM. It was at 130am so I get it. It still would be a good idea for him to be accessible in case of emergencies, such as this. We called the fire department as well to make sure everything was OK. Thankfully it was. 1 of the detectors was at the end of its lifespan which is what caused all of them to then go off. My family of 3 decided to end our trip earlier than we wanted, and headed home after that. This was not at the fault of the owner, it happens. My husband and I didn't want to risk our infant going through all of this chaos again, especially in the middle of the night. The owner did issue a credit which was not necessary at all, not his fault as these things happen. He did everything in his power to make our stay enjoyable. Aside from that though - it truly was a very relaxing and enjoyable stay. It's a great spot to unplug and relax. We utilized the fire pit every night and made smores. There are logs readily available so you don't have to bring your own!

If you receive a call from a marketing company offering one of these 2 value propositions to assist…read moreyou to get out of your timeshare make sure and hang-up: 1. A way to convert to a "pay as you use your timeshare" versus paying the annual maintenance 2. A developer being on-site to make an offer to purchase your timeshare We showed up at the appointed time at the restaurant and the nice sales lady with KTO Travel we spoke with thought we were there to hear about a "Viking Cruise". That was the first sign things were about to go awry. The "manager" that came over to clear things up. I explained the pretense that got us to this dinner. After a very frustrating 30 minute ordeal he proceeded to tell me that I'd have to be a fool to believe that anyone would pay us a dime for a timeshare. He claimed that the marketing company they hired must've made a "mistake" and said that they have no control over the company but as long as we were there that we might as well hear them out. They proceeded to try and sell us a new program for $399 a year that would supposedly be better for us and eliminate our annual maintenance fees (no real explanation of how that would happen). The sales pitch for this new program was so convoluted that it made our current nightmarish booking experience with Hilton Grand Vacations sound better (hard to do). The other option available to us was to pay this racket $5,000 to get us out of our timeshare (along with a guarantee to refund our money that they needed on the spot if they weren't successful). He claimed that they're very successful of course. We could not get out of this meeting fast enough and I decided to make it my mission to try and save others from the experience. Photo of the pair below for reference.

The presentations are confusing and misleading. Especially because they got you there under the premise that they are going to help you exit your timeshare. No matter how many times we told them that we did not vacation in the in a way that would make use of a timeshare or any vacation oportunity like that, and when we purchased our timeshare, it was local to a Membership campground where we spend our summers, with the exception of one trade when we first owned it 20yrs ago, we have only used it for the pool and facilities. But the way it was presented we still thought that our $6800 was for the most part to facilitate our exiting our Timeshare, and the 1st year of Dreamstar was like a complimentary trial for 10,000 points, with a 250,000 available. Even when I said we won't use it, and haven't..he still insisted we should give it a try as it will be there either way.
