The sunsets are beautiful and can be seen from the sunroom behind the house. The sunsets reflect off the water and look incredible. It is one of our favorite things about the property. Guests always comment on and love the tall ceilings, open floor plan, and cleanliness.

Fun facts:
---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.
