we stayed here as we had a wedding in the area and it was perfect for that.you have an amazing view of the lake from the back patio, but i would say not for old people as there are steps down to the house.
My family and I traveled from Chicago for a weekend, and we had an amazing time staying at this home. The location is literally unbeatable, right on the river, with a little private beach (our kids loved it!) We spent our time grilling, kayaking and watching a family of bald eagles right across the river. We would definitely go back there again.
Wonderful property despite the crazy weather! Everything was as listed. Enjoyed watching the eagles across the river every morning and fishing off the dock. Close to all the amenities that you would need. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
This property exceeded our expectations for a fall weekend getaway! The deck and beach area were so lovely and relaxing. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Would definitely book again!
We stayed 2 nights. Hung out there. Water in lake very green not great for fishing or swimming. Would have loved a bathroom on each level instead of 2 bathrooms only on top floor; not great for having 2 bedrooms downstairs and only 1 upstairs. Would have loved a table to sit around for meals and playing games inside - only kitchen island. Grill was not cleaned at all. Had to be scrubbed on grates before use. Several dishes & glasses needed washing before using. Kitchen well stocked with pans and cooking utensils. We enjoyed our stay otherwise. Beautiful setting. Could be better lighting for going up & down outside stairs with luggage.

Thanks for your review Sandy. We strive for 10/10, 5 star bookings and read all of our feedback.
We are very transparent about the home layout in the description, and in fact messaged you before your trip sharing the bathrooms and bedrooms layout.
Unfortunately we can't control the weather on the lake and river and it does get algae spikes after large rain run offs like we had the week before your trip. It only lasts a few days typically and unfortunately lined up with your trip.
We will connect with our professional cleaning service on the grill and glassware situation and make sure they pay closer attention to these areas. Thank you for providing that feedback!
Our stay was amazing! Had a low-key girls weekend and this place was perfect! It fit us all comfortably and had plenty of space to hang out and play games and cook together. Being right on the river, with the kayaks and paddle boards available for use was such a fun feature! It was the perfect private oasis for a long weekend getaway! Would definitely book again!
You had a wonderful stay at this location. The outside deck allowed fun and games with the family. Also enjoyed all the waterfowl at play on the river.
Overall we had a really great stay! The river and entry into the water is rocky so bring water shoes. It is a bit harder with younger children as they have to pick playing up in the sandy area or a parent plays in the water with them. It is not a beach area where little ones can sit in the sand and splash their toes in the water while a parent is very close by. The hosts have thought of a lot of things that other places don’t always have. The cabin was clean and grill was great for grilling out dinners. The host was responsive with any questions as well. The lower level of the cabin was quite chilly so bring warmer clothes for sleeping. I don’t think the hosts can do anything about that though. It’s difficult to keep an upper level and basement level equally comfortable in hot hot weather.
Beautiful place to stay on the river! My family enjoyed a very nice stay. I truly enjoyed the upstairs bedroom! The skylights were very enjoyable. We enjoyed having our feet buried in the sand in February and sitting on the dock was so relaxing soaking up some much needed rays!A big thank you to Ashley and her family for sharing this awesome place on vrbo!!!
I would recommend this property to others. It was a nice easy check-in and the hosts were great to communicate with. The house was very clean and everything smelled fresh. You get a nice view of the lake and a nice deck to sit and enjoy the view. Zero complaints
We came in town for a wedding in the vicinity. Our group was my spouse, our two little kids, my parents and me. Not immense space but very comfortable fit for all of us. The house is thoughtfully stocked including with plush towels and toys that are littles adored. It’s a lovely view of Rock River with an enclosed porch on the upper level and one that walks out to the small beach on the lower level shaded by the deck above. It was perfect for a relaxing morning with coffee and boat watching. Communication with Ashley was clear and quick. Recommend without reservations. We’d certainly come back!
We had a great stay at Ashley’s place. The space was very clean, comfortable, and well kept, and the air conditioning worked perfectly, which made a big difference during our stay. The kitchen had everything we needed, and it was easy to settle in right away.Ashley was a great host—friendly, responsive, and helpful whenever we had questions. Everything was clearly communicated, and the whole experience felt smooth from start to finish.The setting was peaceful and quiet, exactly what we were looking for. It was also a great spot for fishing, with easy access that made getting a line out on the water simple and enjoyable. We really appreciated how relaxing the entire stay was.Overall, we had an awesome time and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable, quiet getaway with great access to the outdoors.

About the host
Hosted by Ashley Zagorski
The Hideaway is our family's retreat away from it all - we love sharing our beach, the views, and abundant nature with our guests and hope you all have a fantastic time. Enjoy the great beach and boating weather in the summer, class A fishing in the Spring and Fall, and gorgeous views and eagle-watching in the Winter; a true 4-season destination.
Why they chose this property
The Hideaway is located in a quiet neighborhood filled with deer, bald eagles, and other wildlife. Abundant restaurants and bars are about a 10 minute drive, including the local favorite, the Buckhorn Supper Club. Enjoy the views of the river from the private beach while waving at the passing boats.
What makes this property unique
A rare, private sand beach with a floating dock and access to kayaks and stand-up paddle board makes the Hideaway stand out from other rentable properties. Light up a bonfire from the beach while you cast our to walleye or Northern.
