About this property

ROCK RIVER HIDEAWAY

This property is located on the tranquil Rock River in Oregon, Illinois and is perfect for a couple or family to get away. Enjoy fishing from the large deck or while out on the water with your boat. There is a boat ramp available only one mile away in town and at Castle Rock. One hundred feet of river frontage at the house for convenient docking and ease of use. The barbecue will come in handy when you want to keep an eye on your fishing pole while preparing a delicious meal. There are two bedrooms with two beds each. The master bedroom has two new queen beds. They are supremely comfortable so that you will sleep like a baby! The second bedroom has two twin beds and there's a hide-a-bed in the living room for larger get-togethers. The kitchen is fully stocked with a large table for your group to gather at. The living room has two full couches and entertainment center. Views of the river are also enjoyed from the sunroom and kitchen. Our friendly neighbors might give you a wave. Explore nature on any of the hiking trails of the surrounding three state parks. You'll find many activities to interest you such as horseback riding, dinner cruises, golf, and swimming at nearby lakes! Ask us where to find the bald eagle's nest! Bring your canoe, kayak, or other water sport toys. Stay at the Rock River Hideaway to relax and unwind! Don't forget your Binoculars, Bald eagles just across the river from House

The location was a 10, right on the river in a quiet setting. Comfortable accommodations and the only drawback was only one bathroom that was quite small.Property is centrally located for access to many State Parks and the quaint town of Oregon.

This house is gorgeous. It’s on the rock river with two beautiful porches and a large deck all with a wonderful view of the river. The owner had everything in the house you could ever possibly need. She had plenty of extra towels and linens etc. and she also had extension cords and device chargers if you need them. There is a large driveway for parking which is really nice if you have visitors for the day. The house is located in a little resort area out in the country and it was very quiet and peaceful and the neighbors are so friendly. The house has plenty of accommodations for quite a few guests to be comfortable. The owner was so sweet and caring and she was available at any time to answer any questions. I highly recommend staying here, you won’t regret it.

We had a great 6 day stay at this property on the Rock River. Hosts were always available for questions and the location and home were very well kept. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a riverfront property location on your visit to the area. Drive to both Dixon and Oregon were short and manageable for any necessities.

This property was ok. The bedroom with the single beds is tiny. The room with the double beds is spacious but has barn doors to separate from the main living space, which I don’t think was clear on the listing. The double beds were very comfortable. The property was very clean, but did have a fairly strong musty smell as it’s an older house. Tanzi was quick to respond to questions but I found the communication to be confusing and contradictory. The VRBO emails, Tanzi’s private messages, and info printed at the property did not match. The emailed WiFi network and password were different than what was listed at the house. The listing even says there is no wi-Fi, but there is. Email said Tuesday was trash day, paperwork at the property said it was Friday, and when I messaged her, she said it was Wednesday. So, overall it was fine, but not great.

Hi Kelly, Thank you for your review, I hope you enjoyed the waved fees for additional person. The large bedroom is 2 queens, not dbles. The pic show the barn doors off the living room. I definitely have 2 signs in house stating the wifi information. Sorry for the type O on the site. I did correct. I'm glad you were convertible in the beds. I'm happy you did enjoy the WiFi. Thank you for giving us a try. Tanzie
