Excellent!

Looking for a relaxing home. Awesome.
This place was what I expected and more. We really enjoyed the home and the property. Very relaxing and a home away from home.
Great!
Great time, place was just as advertised! Thanks!
Relaxing spot on the Rock River.
My family of 4 had a great stay at Rock River Resort. Mary actually has three separate units in one spot: 2 bedroom, 3 bedroom and 1 bedroom. We stayed in the 2 bed unit. It was great. Very nice and clean. Mary was a great host, letting us borrow her bikes. Horicon and Juneau are very nice communities. Can't think of a drawback other than he house is right next to the highway - but you get used to the sound of the occasional passing traffic. All around great place.
The house was comfortable, with a beautiful view of the river. We had a fun stay.
There were no problems at all while we were there. The screen porch and deck were both comfortable with good views of the river. The property owner was responsive to questions. The only concern is it is not easy to get around the property if you have any impaired movement. There are no railings on the stairs down to the front door, and the only other way to the front door is to walk down the hill next to the patio past the retaining wall.
Perfect setting for respite from the Florida heat.
From the flowers in the garden to the decorations in the house this was a true cottage experience. We loved making breakfast every morning and eating out in the Sun-room. Our days were spent canoeing, hiking, visiting Milwaukee and House on the Rock. The location is perfect for access to all that is good about Wisconsin. LeRoy's Meats is a must stop if you are cooking any meals (kitchen is well stocked) and the Dollar General up the road is a perfect place to pick up any small needs without driving too far. We were not ready to leave when the week was up.
Great little cottage in a beautiful location!
Our family used the cottage as a home base while attending our extended family reunion nearby.
The cottage is cozy, but there is a lot of outdoor seating, so we didn't feel cramped. It's true, the tap water does have a strong iron smell, but a water cooler is available for drinking water.
We loved the sounds of the river, the beautiful sunsets and birdwatching opportunities. Great location for visiting Horicon marsh. Sure beats staying in the city or suburbs! Thank you, Mary, for sharing your lovely spot.
