Probably the cleanest place I've ever stayed in and I've stayed in some very nice homes. LOVED that there were NO scented products used and no 'air fresheners' that I had to find and remove during the stay. Thought our host was away, her family was available though we had absolutely no issues. This is a great location for hiking and Winnebago County has several lovely forest preserves plus Nachusa Grasslands is just an hour away. The Anderson Japanese gardens are also worth a visit. The back deck is lovely and the gardens around the house are definitely worth a walk through - there are many nice native woodland plants and a small prairie garden to enjoy in season. We are planning a return visit to the area and hope to be able to stay here again.

We were in town visiting our adult son. This beautiful house was the perfect home away from home for us! Clean, peaceful, plenty of room, nice neighborhood, close to restaurants, shopping, and our son, who lived in Janesville, Wi but worked in Beloit, Wi. The host (Paula) was the best! We couldn’t have been any happier with our stay at “Traveler’s Sanctuary”!

Another wonderful stay!

This is our second time renting Paula's Traveler's Sanctuary and won't be our last time. It really feels like a home away from home. The kitchen had a great selection of pots, pans, utensils and various seasonings we needed to make our meals. Far better than any other vacation home we've stayed at. The home is always so clean and welcoming and the neighborhood is very peaceful. Thank you, Paula, for another great stay!

Great Getaway

We stayed here over the 4th of July weekend to get away from the city. It was homey, clean, and quiet, just what we were looking for! Every amenity you can think of was provided. The backyard fire pit area was comfortable and nicely landscaped, and attracted lots of birds and furry friends. The owner was very responsive to questions. We’d definitely stay again.

Great Choice to Stay in Rockford/Roscoe

Truly our best experience with VRBO. The accommodations were 5 star all the way. Exceptionally delightful! Great location close to everything, but just out of the reach of crowded busy locations. Super well kept with every amenity! Well planned for traveling guests who sometimes cannot preplan everything you need when away from home. Beautiful nature scape everywhere around the home. Host was great with communication!

Serene Sanctuary

My sister-in-law and I truly enjoyed our stay in Paula’s home. It is located in a peaceful neighborhood, is extremely clean, and very comfortable (especially the beds). The upper deck overlooks the most beautiful wooded area where you can admire the beautiful landscaping and wildlife while sipping a cup of coffee. Paula is gracious, kind, and very responsive. Her attention to details throughout the home (which included a personal sign welcoming us) was much appreciated. If you are staying in the Rockford area, Paula’s home is not to be missed!

Ideal

We were two friends staying to do some zoom classes and get away for a few days. We have stayed in many vbro over the years both in US and UK. This was the cleanest, well stocked, nicely decorated property we have ever stayed at. We needed good lighting and there was plenty. Neighborhood is quiet and had weather been nice, we would have been happy to be outside. Home is comfortable in seating arrangements and beds (wow). No steps inside the home (only a step to get to porch). I don’t think this owner forgot anything! We did need assistance hooking up our computer to tv for the zoom classes. Owner came right up and worked with us to get it going. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here anytime. Sue Wilkins

Susan, thank you for all your kind words. It is my pleasure to provide guests with a clean, comfortable home. The deck is a lovely spot to sit and enjoy the outdoors (except in a northern Illinois winter). Ha! Though, snowfalls are beautiful to watch, spring flowers come in May, very green in summer and fall can be colorful. You and Debbie are welcome back anytime!
