Best Things Nearby:
Starved Rock State Park is a short, very enjoyable drive. The town of Ottawa is close and a great little town -- we were fortunate to get there on the night of their annual car cruise. There were at least 300 classic cars -- my husband was in heaven. I enjoyed just walking around listening to the "oldies" music that was coming out of the speakers on every street corner.
Joliet is not that far away and, if you like to gamble, there are two large casinos.
Also near Joliet is the Nascar track, where you can do a ride along or drive yourself in a real race car. It is pricy, but we were told by some who had done it that it was worth the price.
Best Things About the Resort:
They have a new outdoor pool that is very nice; the indoor pool looked nice also, but was closed when we were there for cleaning.
Our son liked that you could fish in the lake without a license.
You can play miniature golf and used the canoes at no charge, which is unusual.
Resort Experience:
The resort itself is not too impressive when you first see it. However, the inside of the unit is nicer than the outside. There is a large whirlpool tub in the master bedroom. There are TVs in both bedrooms and the living room, which is nice when you have several people with different tastes. There is also a golf course at the resort, miniature golf, and a lake for canoeing and fishing.
