About this property

Eagle's Nest Riverside Retreat

Come relax in this stunning riverfront setting. This spacious, yet cozy home located directly on the Rock River is a perfect place to have a family BBQ, relax after a day spent at the nearby sports complexes or compete in a game of billiards. With a public boat launch under a mile away and your own private pier during the summer bring your watercraft and spend the day at the sandbar located out your back door. Whether you are looking for a space large enough to host a family gathering or looking for somewhere that the family can get away with plenty of activities to keep everyone happy this is the perfect spot for you. Utilize a fully stocked kitchen with everything needed for the perfect cookout or cozy holiday meals. With four spacious bedrooms outfitted with premium resort bedding everyone will get a great night's sleep. We have activities galore that will entice all age groups whether everyone is in for a game of bags or maybe an evening playing card and board games. End your evenings in a large soaking Jacuzzi tub to melt away the days busyness. Sportscore is only 2 miles away which makes it convenient enough to take breaks during a busy day of tournaments. The world renown Anderson Japanese Gardens is less than 6 miles away. This home is centrally located near all of Rockford's points of interest such as Rock Cut Park, Nicholas Conservatory and both Sportscore complexes. Also conveniently located near all the local hospitals for traveling medical personnel. We are looking forward to hosting you and your family and hope to make this your home away from home.

Perfect Thanksgiving with our family

What a beautiful home and property right on the river! Everything was implacably clean, cozy and welcoming. We loved enjoying football on the big TVs and playing pool. The kitchen was very well equipped and clean. Thank you for the seasonal decor and live plants throughout the house. It all felt like home and we want to come back for sure!

Family reunion

I live in CO with my family of 6. I have 5 siblings in or near Rockford. They have children and grandchildren. This was a perfect setting for our gathering. Spacious, great kitchen, things for everyone to do and the space to do them. We loved that people could also have some privacy! The host was wonderful, helped with de-icing,etc. The host was available anytime! We are so incredibly grateful for the incredible space and generosity of the owners. Thank you!!
