The Happy Traveler - Cabin at Starved Rock State Park

Welcome to The Happy Traveler, where days are impulsive in all the best ways. As the sun sets, evenings bring the perfect ambiance for reflection, connection, and laughter among family and friends. The Happy Traveler is not just a space—it's a place to gather, relax, and cherish the memories of each day's adventures. Nestled right outside the entrance to Starved Rock State Park, this cabin boasts 2 indoor fireplaces, 2 balconies, an indoor jacuzzi, patio, and community grilling area.

Noise:
We are located in a quiet neighborhood behind the Grand Bear Resort. Quiet hours are from 9pm to 8am to respect our neighbors.

Garbage Day:
All garbage can be left on the curb, out front, and will be picked up between 8 am and 4 pm daily. Please ensure that the garbage is in a garbage bag and tied shut. Garbage bags are provided.

Gardener: Yard Maintenance comes once a week. They typically come on different days and times (but never before 8:00am) They are outside (only) for an hour or so to do a quick cleanup of the yard and walkways. If you have any questions please contact us. Thank You!

We provide starters of toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent, dishwasher soap, soaps, toiletries and coffee pods.
Please note that you will need to purchase additional supplies if/when needed.

*There is one outdoor security camera (ring doorbell) that points towards the entryway/front door.

PLEASE READ the House Rules Prior to Booking so we can make sure we are your best fit.

Guests must review and agree to abide by the House Rules when booking. We want to be clear with our guests up front--therefore avoiding any issues and making sure you are happy and we are your best fit. Please message me if you have any questions prior to booking. We are always available to assist you.

Keyless coded entry. Our home is your home during your stay. We will provide you with your personal entry code before arrival.

Guests will have access to the entire home and outdoor areas. We have two parking spaces in front of the cabin. Any additional vehicles beyond 2 will need to be parked in a different area. The parking spots are first come, first serve, although most residents respect the 2 parking stalls in front of each cabin.

This cabin is professionally cleaned after each guest by a professional cleaning crew. Brand cleaning products are used, as opposed to generic or off-brand products. All linens are sanitized and washed after each guest. The cleaning fee allows each guest peace of mind that their space is sanitized and up to hotel standards. Be weary of cabins without cleaning fees!

While we do sweep and cleanup the covered porch and front entryway after each stay, please note that due to weather, wind, native plants, dust and other factors these areas can experience debris/dust. Please contact us if you have any concerns. We do provide a broom for the outdoors (in the entryway next to the drying machine) that can be used at your convenience. Please also note that this is a State Park and cabin in the woods, so an occasional bug does make their way inside.

No parties, smoking of any kind in or around the property, no pets/animals (we have family with severe allergies), no additional guests that are not registered at the time of booking, quiet hours between 9pm and 8am. Thank you for understanding.

Thank You! And We Look Forward To Hosting You At The Happy Traveler!

One night, girls getaway

I booked this rental for myself my two grown daughters and four granddaughters. we had planned to do the waterpark at the resort, but didn’t realize we couldn’t get tickets since we weren’t staying at the resort. this was not the fault of our host. it was rather rainy so we didn’t get to do any trails at the state park but we sure enjoyed our time enjoying good food and family time. The unit was well equipped with everything we needed to cook a nice dinner and had some extra toys for the kids to play with. We will come back

Comfortable and cozy

The house is very comfortable, the hot tub is lovely. The listing had photos that didn't quite match the house, but that wasn't a major issue.

Weekend getaway

Very clean and spacious townhome, just a 2-minute drive to Starved Rock. Plenty of balconies to enjoy a morning coffee or lunch, and although in a townhome community, the unit does provide privacy. Downtown Utica offers several bar and grills, a cute cafe, and a wonderful wine bar/shop.
