Fun facts: 

---Our property used to be owned by a mining company. The lakes and ponds at Starved Rock Retreat used to be mines. They filled in with natural spring water and are still spring fed to this day. The fishing is great! 

---The tall wooden front doors are from a church in Brazil. They were picked out and flown in by the original owner who built this home. 

---The blue ceiling in the sunroom is a specific color called haint blue. The original owner picked this color as it is said to protect the home. 

Guests have access to the entire house and surrounding area including the fire pit and small lakes behind the house. Feel free to take a peaceful walk down the gravel drive that stretches behind the house. Fishing is great!! You can bring fishing gear or canoes. You can swim.
