About this property

Riverfront cabin on Rock River

Completely remodeled and updated 975 square foot two bedroom cottage. Featuring 60 inch flat-screen HDTV, fully modernized kitchen with new gas oven, french door refrigerator, new Serta-Perfect queen mattress in master bedroom and pillow-top queen in guest bedroom.
This cozy cottage sleeps four comfortably, and has a full dining room and laundry with washer and dryer.
Amazing river views as soon as you walk in, but this home boasts a three season room furnished with a huge L-shaped sectional couch, surrounded by windows for spectacular views and comfortable relaxation.
Outside we have a large concrete patio fully furnished including a gas grill and even a hammock. There is a large fenced in grass yard leading down a gentle slope to the river where you'll find a nice fishing dock where you will see bald eagles, deer and other wildlife.
Preferred age limit; 26 and above, two day minimum. Due to insurance no swimming is allowed. Pet friendly negotiable. Limit 2 dogs and I do have a $30 nightly pet fee.
Just to be totally open as I did have a guest mention this. About a mile down river from my place they do have a trap shooting range and in the summer and fall you may hear them practicing. If you have any concerns or have questions about when they are shooting please don’t hesitate to contact me. I was able to find the schedule online. On a side note my dog is Very noise sensitive and from that distance it doesn’t seem to bother her as we spend a lot of time there when we can.. please feel free to contact me if you have questions.

Hidden Gem
Loved this hidden gem. Was the perfect place and location for my dog and I. Loved sitting in the back enjoying the quiet and beautiful river view. Home has so many nice updates and features. Would highly recommend and will stay again. Bill called the day before and was so thoughtful and thorough explaining things with the home and also recommended things to do in the area. Thank you for such a pleasant stay.

It really is that charming!
We found everything that the other reviewers have said to be true. The property is clean, well stocked, and comfortable, and Bill is a wonderful and thorough host. The kitchen in particular has everything you could want in a guest house, but my favorite room was the sun room. The space heater made it especially cozy in the mornings while we were drinking coffee and in the afternoons while we played board games. We did hear the sounds from the trap shooting range nearby on a couple of nights, but the sound wasn't very loud, and they were done there by 9:00 p.m. both nights. It wasn't a problem at all. If you're a sensitive sleeper, you might hear some of the lower-flying planes from Rockford Airport at night. There weren't that many, though, and I think they were noticeable only because the property is so very quiet otherwise. On the nights I took allergy medication before bed, I was knocked out and didn't hear them once. :D I mention this only because I'm a lousy sleeper and I usually do not sleep well on trips at all. I hope the fact that I got as much rest as I did on this trip tells you just how peaceful Bill's guest house is. This was a great place for a leisurely vacation.

Excellent Retreat
This was our second time here. First time was in the spring and we had such a nice time, we came back to see the fall leaves. Perfect place to relax from hectic lives. Bill is a great host. Everything is clean and well maintained. Having coffee in the morning watching the river drift by and the various birds calling and flying along the river. It is an ideal retreat.

2nd Visit- As Wonderful as Expected!
This was our second visit to this property. It is exactly as pictured and even had an improved living room area with comfortable seating and a large TV. This home has all you need if you want to stay in and relax and is also close to surrounding attractions. The fenced in yard is lovely and well-kept. The host (Bill) is a delight. He makes check-in/check-out easy and clearly cares that you enjoy your stay. We plan on making this an annual trip!

Nice getaway!
Communication with Bill was great! Home was clean and cozy. Nice to have a view of the river from the kitchen, dining area and the all-season porch. The flowers were blooming and the hummingbirds where enjoying them. Saw a bald eagle about 5 different times. The best was when it swooped down to the river to get it's meal!

Rockford stay
We wanted to get away from the 4th of July fireworks with our dogs. We had such a nice (almost fireworks free) quiet and peaceful time. There were a few fireworks in the distance but not like a war zone in my neighborhood, Chicago. The owner was so nice and welcoming. The house was beautiful.

We loved everything about this property. My wife liked it so much that she wanted to stay forever!!! It was the perfect size for us and our 2 dogs. Our dogs loved the fenced in yard and would watch the water fowl swim by all day.The home has all the amenities that you could ask for while on vacation and the owner communicated in advance everything we needed to know about the property. We would highly recommend this property to any looking for quiet place on the river, where you can fish, watch the bald eagles fly by or just sit in the backyard and relax with your family. Thanks again
