Welcome to Treehouses at Starved Rock, a boutique nature retreat on 26 private wooded acres directly beside Starved Rock State Park.
Four luxury treehouses are thoughtfully positioned across the land for privacy while sharing rare amenities like a private footbridge into Starved Rock’s trail system, a peaceful creekside dock leading to the Illinois River, and a dramatic sandstone bluff that borders the property.
This is not staying beside nature — it’s living within it.
Wake in the treetops. Step onto expansive two-story decks overlooking forest and bluff. Hike directly into Starved Rock from your steps. Paddle the river. End the day beside a fire as the sandstone bluff glows softly at night.
Just 90 minutes from Chicago, yet completely immersed in nature.
Treehouse 4 is tucked deeper into the woods, surrounded by mature forest and sits about 150 feet from the sandstone bluff, offering beautiful illuminated bluff views at night.
Sleeps up to 8 guests and includes:
• Full kitchen with coffee bar and essentials
• Spa-style bathroom with walk-in tile shower and robes
• Screened-in porch
• Massive two-story decks
• Private fire pit and outdoor seating
• Games, puzzles, and books
• Fast Wi-Fi and smart TV
• Gas grill and outdoor dining
Warm modern design and natural materials create a cozy yet refined retreat.
A short walk leads to your private footbridge. Cross it and you’re already on Starved Rock’s trail system.
No driving. No parking. Just step outside and hike to:
• Famous canyons
• Seasonal waterfalls
• River overlooks
• Wildlife and forest trails
This kind of access is incredibly rare and transforms the entire experience.
The on-site dock sits where the creek opens toward the Illinois River.
Seasonal rentals available:
• Kayaks
• Canoe
• Hydrobikes
Perfect for sunrise paddles, wildlife watching, or peaceful floating.
Secluded and peaceful, yet:
• 10 minutes to Downtown Ottawa
• 10 minutes to Downtown Utica
Wineries, breweries, restaurants, shopping, and festivals nearby.
Each season offers something special:
Winter — quiet trails, snow-dusted trees, frozen bluff icefalls
Spring — flowing waterfalls and fresh greenery
Summer — river days and long deck evenings
Fall — spectacular colors throughout the forest
Whether you’re seeking adventure, romance, family time, or peaceful escape, Treehouse 4 offers a truly memorable Starved Rock experience.
