Overview
Welcome to The Illinois Valley and Starved Rock Country! Relax and feel the Hygge after a day at the parks in your own dog-friendly comfortable tiny house with an electric fireplace. Snug Owl Cottage is just minutes away from popular hiking destinations Starved Rock State Park (7.7 miles) and Matthiessen State Park (8.6 miles.) Historic Downtown LaSalle shops and restaurants are about a mile away. The Snug Owl has its own private city lot and backyard with a fire pit and outdoor seating.This vintage tiny home has a “cabin in the city” feel at 400 square feet with one queen bed in the sleeping area. An open plan makes it feel more spacious with a partial wall dividing the queen bed in the sleeping area from the living area. The kitchen and living area are open to each other and only separated by a bar-height island. The cottage was built in 1945, but the WiFi and HD SmartTV are very up to date.
Sleeping Configuration
Studio sleep area
1 queen bed
The sleep area is divided from the living space by a partial wall. This is a tiny home, so the bed takes up most of the sleep space. Outlets and nightstands are on both sides of the bed.

Quiet neighborhood in LaSalle, 7.7 mi from Starved Rock State Park and 8 mi from Matthiessen Park

Getting around
You will need a car to visit the parks and get around, or you can bike 7.7 miles using the canal towpath to Starved Rock State Park. The neighborhood is pedestrian and bicycle friendly. Downtown LaSalle (1.2 miles down the hill toward the river) is a short drive or bicycle ride, but it is a bit steep coming back! The I&M Canal towpath is a great place for bicyclists and runners. Locals often ride the towpath (about 5 miles) to nearby Utica to have lunch or visit a wine tasting room. Bicycle rental is available in warmer months at the corner of 351 and First Street in downtown LaSalle, outside the I&M Canal Visitor Information Center and Lock 16 Cafe.

Notes
PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING:
Please, NO SMOKING OR VAPING of any kind in the home. You will be charged a minimum of $200 for extra cleaning for noncompliance, so please smoke outside away from open doors or windows and properly dispose of cigarette butts.
The house is not suitable for toddlers and small children due to steps, sharp corners, breakables, and electric baseboard heat. It is truly a tiny home that sometimes seems larger in photos and we ask that you respect the guest count limit.
Well-behaved dogs and their humans are welcome at this property. Maximum overnight occupancy of 2 humans and 2 dogs, with a $20 one-time PET FEE per stay. Please check the box for “Pet” when making your reservation.
Dogs must be current on rabies vaccinations, protected by topical or oral flea and tick control, non-aggressive, and remain on a leash when outside. I provide cleanup bags for dog waste so you can dispose of it correctly. A city ordinance prohibits leaving dogs tied up outside while unattended. Sorry, pets other than dogs are not allowed. Service animals are excluded from additional fees, but please let me know who is coming so I can provide appropriate amenities.
It gets windy here sometimes, but you are welcome to use the fire pit on low fire-risk days. Please familiarize yourself with the garden hose and spigot location before you light a fire, keep the grate over the logs at all times to arrest sparks, and do not leave the fire unattended. Make sure it is completely out before leaving. You know, all the common sense stuff.
